Movie
Censorship
Now
as we all know Censorship is always a bit of a hot potato.
Every time we hear of strange censorship decisions we will
add it in here to make a resource out of all the stupidity
and double standards. First up :
American
Beauty was given an 18 certificate in the UK, not because
of the sex or violence or swearing. But because of the way
"they portrayed the drug dealing in the film. The makers
didn't show any downside to it- at the end , two of them even
disappear to live off the proceeds- and that does have repercussions.
There needs to be a balance and there was concern about the
message being given out".
Talk
about the nanny state. So we aren't allowed to watch a film
and make our own minds up. Under 18's are way more sophisticated
than that. If they are allowed to get married, which most
people would class as one of the most mature decisions a person
can make, at 16 then surely they can watch a MOVIE. Movie
after all are entertainment, not purely about education.
