Barbie, one of the most anticipated and trending films of 2023, is a little more than a month away from its release. Therefore, it has become clear with which posters the film will be published in the cinemas of the countries before it is released.
The poster poster of the movie prepared for France was on the agenda of the French on Twitter. It seems that in the sentences used in the French version of the poster, a word game was made with the words used as slang by the young people, knowingly or unknowingly.
One of the sentences on the poster, written for Ken, contains a slang word that French young people use among themselves.
On the France poster of the Barbie movie, “Elle peut tout faire.” he is writing. This sentence was written for Barbie and when translated, “She can/can do anything.” means. On the right, the sentence for Ken reads “Lui c’est juste Ken”. It means “But if he is just Ken”.
Or let’s say it means that. Because the French youth, so to speak, are going crazy because the sentence written for Ken on this poster on Twitter has a different meaning. In French, “ken” was a slang word for sexual intercourse. Normally, “c’est” meaning “this” is also pronounced as “sait”. The word ‘Sait’ also means ‘to know’.
When all this information is put together, the sentences written on the poster are translated as: “He can achieve anything, he only knows how to have sex”
- English version of the above statement
People also made fun of this issue on Twitter. They also do not know whether this was done intentionally or unintentionally by the French localization teams. However, we can say that it is funny if it is done on purpose, and more funny if it is not done on purpose.
