And Published
Hi everyone, Drew diettsch here for a giant disorder for the robot and it’s time to talk to my heart on a nearby subject: censorship!
The enemy and tool of the fascist artist, censorship is always rampant in the movie world. What do you think the classification boards do?
I have been thinking about their thoughts about the film association before, but now we are expanding the network and we look at some extreme cases around the world where censorship won the battle.
It’s time to look at sci-fi movies that were really banned.
Back to the future
Possibly the most famous time travel movie ever made, Back to the future Certainly there are challenging aspects, such as Tabu -About Romance and obsolete social acceptable norms and behavior, but none of these were the reason why China decided to ban the film as a whole.
In 2011, China proclaimed the concept of time travel, which was banned from movies and television programs.
Why?
According to the Chinese Government Censorship Office, known as the name of the radio, film and television or sarft, the concept of “disrespect history” and “producers and writers treat serious history in a light way that should no longer be encouraged.”
Time travel characters give writers an opportunity to explore history because it is related to modern times, and some time travel stories even change history.
Gee, I wonder why authoritarian systems would have a problem with people’s research and challenge.
Hole
Katsuhiro Otomo’s 1988 adaptation of his iconic mangana changed Sci-Fi, animeAnd movie history forever.
It directed anime as a great power to the adult demographic structure in America.
However, Russia decided to ban the film and many other Anime films and programs.
Despotic reason why?
It’s the old pearl connecting the chestnut figure that each sensor mimics, Helen Lovejoy. [“Won’t someone please think of the children?” Simpsons clip]
Yes, the Almighty State declared it Hole could “harm children’s health and mental development”.
I am sure it has nothing to do with the description of a corrupt and malignant military state that utilizes children and transforms them into insane weapons for war. No! Nothing to see here!
Hunger games
Suzanne Collins made a tremendous amount of splashing of her 2008 novel and the adaptation of the next movie about the Dystopian future, where children are used in the gladiator entertainment of the masses, and ultimately are crucial to overthrowing the fascist state.
The Vietnam National Film Assessment Board or VNFRB was not enthusiastic about this and delayed the original movie premiere before it was denied endlessly.
The VNFRB spokesman called the nominal games “too violent and ruthless”.
Funny, the book had been a big hit with Vietnam’s young people.
In Thailand, protesters were arrested for making up to three fingers as a sign of rebellion against the country’s dictator.
That event really led to the sequel, Mockingjay – Part 1pulling the distributor from certain theaters
Of course, it seems that not all of these dictators like fiction that tells you how and why you should take them down.
The battle of the Royale
Before Hunger games Was banned in Vietnam, hell, before Hunger games It was even written, the idea of a sci-fi story about children who have been killed by the fascist government’s amusement already caused a dispute in Japan.
The battle of the RoyaleOriginally Koushu’s Takam novel and also customized to mangana, was as successful as the controversial in 2000.
The film was soon banned in Germany in 2013, but the ban was raised.
Instead, it’s time to call the United States. It’s true, we are the enemies of art like the rest of the world!
Because there is no government censorship in the United States, this is an example of how a movie can get, it is called soft in America.
The battle of the RoyaleDistributor Toei wanted a large publication in the states.
American lawyers told a company that represents a potential US distributor that they would be placed in prison if they were trying to share the film theatrically in North America.
One US distributor went so far as to say, “In the United States, it will never get past the MPA Classification Board (do you remember them?) [Quick flash of the Fuck the MPA card]And the big theater chains never play it unreported. ”
Although it creeps into the screenings of the film festival, The battle of the Royale would remain effectively forbidden from theaters in the United States for eleven years before he was on display properly in 2011.
It just looks, if you think, “Oh, it never happens here in the country of freedom!”, It already has.
The island of lost souls
Do you think that banning movies is a recent problem?
Guess again!
They have denied films because the movies were movies, and The island of lost souls is an excellent example.
This HG Wells Novel Adaptive 1932 The island of Dr. Moreau was one of the most controversial films of that day due to malformed beings, sexuality and themes of breed mixing and evolution.
This exceeds the charts directly in Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Tasmania.
PES! The censorship really didn’t like this! It makes me even more enthusiastic to look at it again.
The matrix loaded
Matrix There were box office revenue around the world in 1999.
When it came to the bigger budget training period, The matrix loadedIn 2003, one government censorship panel was more than ready to hit it with a bang.
The Egyptian Film Board completely denied a sequel in the pretending that exploring its religious and spiritual ideas can cause “crises.”
The fact that the film focuses on a place called Zion gave ammunition to Egyptian critics who believed the film had pushed the Jewish and Zionist beliefs.
So remember that censorship is okay with religion in the movies as long as it’s “right”. Funny how it changes depending on censorship.
MAX MAX
Before the rage or thunderstorms, MAX MAX They torn through the filmmakers in 1979 and look at the landing of civilization in chaos.
That violent energy was not good with New Zealand and Swedish censorship, especially in this scene where the character torns in their car. [Goose being burnt up scene].
Fortunately, this is a case where the ban was officially raised. New Zealand lasted only four years to investigate the mistake and raised the ban in 1983. However, Sweden did not cut any loose in 2005.
Do these censors have nothing better to do with their time? Of course doesn’t seem to be,
Clock -orange
There is no other movie that could end this list.
Based on Anthony Burgess’s controversial novel, Clock -orange was adapted Stanley Kubrick In 1971.
It wasn’t long before the movie was accused of assumed copy methods and gang violence, things that never had human nature before the movie.
Due to the social prospects of this film and his several death threats at Kubrick, the film itself pulled the British Theater album in 1973.
Warner Bros. Respected Kubrick’s desire to keep the movie out of theaters in the UK. One year after Kubrick’s death, Warner Bros. re -made the film’s British cinema certification and was approved.
This is a rare case where the Creator was censorship, but he didn’t need much help. The film had received official ban on censorship boards in Argentina, Brazil, Ireland, Singapore and South Africa.
Sorry Stanley, we love your films and understand that you are afraid of death threats, but time has not shown that no censorship can ever stop the draiogs or what the government wants to do for them.
It looks like my time is coming, but do you want to hear about the forbidden sci-fi movies? Tell us in the comments like video, and order a channel and maybe we’ll make one of these videos for you.
Until then, check out all the great videos we have received for you here in the Giant Freak. At least until Youtube decide to deny them.
