Angelina Jolie condemns Middle Eastern countries for banning The Eternals over homosexuality

Today (November 11), the famous Hollywood star Angelina Jolie responded to the Australian media News.com regarding the ban on the film "Eternals" by Middle Eastern countries including Saudi Arabia and Qatar due to the presence of same-sex kissing scenes in the film. Jolie condemned the ban by these countries and called it "ignorant."

Angelina Jolie said in an interview: "I feel sad for those viewers, and I am proud of Marvel's refusal to cut the plot. I still don't understand how anyone in today's world would not want to see the beautiful relationship and love of the Phastos family, and how anyone would be angry, horrified, and ignorant to disagree or not appreciate it."

According to foreign media Variety, "Eternals" was originally scheduled to be released in these countries on November 11. The local censorship agency requested to delete some clips, but Disney disagreed. A character in "Eternals" kissed a same-sex partner, and homosexuality is illegal in many Gulf countries. More importantly, the film has different descriptions of the prophets and gods on earth, which are considered blasphemous in these countries.

A local cinema chain in Saudi Arabia confirmed that "Eternals" had indeed been banned, but they were not informed of the specific reasons for the ban. The United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Egypt and other countries will release "Eternals", but some intimate scenes will be deleted.
