Hello everyone, here to draw Dietsch for the giant Freakin robot, it’s time to talk about the topic near and dear in my heart: Review!
In the film world, censorship artists and tools are always rampant. What do you think is the rating board?
I had my thoughts about the Film Society before, but now, let’s expand the network and look at some extreme cases around the world, and the examiners won the battle.
It’s time to watch sci-fi movies that are actually banned.
Back to the future
Probably the most famous time travel movie ever, Back to the future Of course, it has challenging aspects such as taboo comedy romance, and outdated socially acceptable norms and behaviors, but none of these are the reasons why China decided to ban the film all.
Back in 2011, China announced the concept of time travel banned in films and TV shows.
Why?
According to the Chinese government’s review bureau known as the government of state broadcasting, film and television or SARFT, time travel is a concept of “disrespect for history” and “producers and writers are taking serious history in a rash way, which should never be encouraged.”
Time travel novels allow writers to examine history related to the modern era, and some time travel stories even change history.
Heck, I wonder why an authoritarian regime has problems with people who re-examine history and challenge it.
akira
Katsuhiro Otomo’s 1988 adaptation of his iconic comics changed science fiction, anime and film history.
It makes anime the main force in the adult population in the United States.
However, back in 2021, Russia decided to ban the film as well as many other anime movies and shows.
Why is the reason for autocracy?
This is the pearl-clip chestnut that every examiner follows, Helen Lovejoy. [“Won’t someone please think of the children?” Simpsons clip]
Yes, the all-round nation declares akira May “damage children’s health and psychological development.”
I’m sure it has nothing to do with describing a military state that exploits children’s corruption and disgusting and turns them into unconscious weapons of war. No! There is nothing to see here!
Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins has a huge interest in her 2008 novel and subsequent film adaptations, telling the future of the dystopian future in which children are used for the gladiator entertainment of the masses, ultimately vital to overthrow the fascist state.
The National Film Review Board of Vietnam (VNFRB) was not excited about this and postponed the premiere of the film indefinitely banned.
A VNFRB spokesperson called the titular game “too violent and ruthless”.
Interestingly, this book is very popular with young Vietnamese people.
In Thailand, protesters were even arrested for saluting three fingers as a sign of rebellion against the country’s dictatorship.
The event actually led to a sequel, Mockingjay – Part 1removed from certain theaters by distributors
Of course, it seems that all these dictators don’t like novels that tell you how and why you put them down.
Grand Royals
forward Hunger Games Previously banned in Vietnam Hunger Games Even written, the idea of a science fiction story about children who killed each other for the entertainment of the fascist government has already caused controversy in Japan.
Grand Royalsoriginally a novel by Koushun Takami, also adapted to comics, which was as successful as the 2000 controversy.
The film was soon banned in Germany in 2013, but the film was indeed cancelled.
Instead, it’s time to call A.
Since the United States does not have a government review board, this is an example of how the movie is obtained, let’s say it was rejected in the United States.
Grand RoyalsToei’s distributors want widespread releases in the United States.
American lawyers representing potential distributors in the United States reportedly told the company that they would be sentenced to jail if they try to dramatize movies in North America.
One U.S. distributor said: “In the U.S., it never surpasses the MPA rating board (remember them?) [Quick flash of the Fuck the MPA card]the main theater chain will never play a role. ”
Although it will sneak into the festival screenings, Grand Royals It will be valid for 11 years in the American theater before it is properly exhibited in 2011.
If you think, “Oh, this will never happen in the Freeland!”, it has shown. ”
Lost Soul Island
Do you think banning movies is a recent issue?
Guess again!
They have been banning movies because movies are movies, Lost Soul Island It’s a good example.
This 1932 HG Wells novel is adapted from Dr. Morrow Island It was one of the most controversial films of the time, as it portrays the theme of malformed biological, sexual and racial mixing and evolution.
At that time, it was the top spot in Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Singapore, South Africa and Tasmania.
oops! The examiner really doesn’t like this! This made me look at it even more excited.
Matrix reload
matrix In 1999, it was a global box office sensation.
When the time comes for a bigger budget blockbuster sequel Matrix reloadIn 2003, a government review team was ready to hit it through the ban.
Egypt’s film committee bans sequels altogether because its exploration of religion and spiritual thoughts can cause “crisis”.
The fact that the film focuses on a place called Zion provides ammunition to Egyptian critics who believe the film promoted the faith of Jewish and Zionism.
So remember that as long as the “right person” is “there is a good person”, the censor can have religious beliefs in the movie. Interestingly, how the situation changes depending on the examiner.
Mad Max
Before there is an angry road or thunder, Mad Max In 1979, the descendants of civilization were torn down through movie audiences.
This violent energy is not feasible among the examiners in New Zealand and Sweden, especially in the scene where the character is burned in the car. [Goose being burnt up scene].
Thankfully, this is an example of the formal cancellation of the ban. It took only four years for New Zealand to figure out their mistakes and lifted the ban in 1983. However, Sweden did not relax the film until 2005.
Are these examiners unrelated to their time? Surely not,
Clockwork Orange
No other movie can end this list.
Based on controversial novel by Anthony Burgess Clockwork Orange Adapted in 1971 by Stanley Kubrick.
Soon after, the film was accused of presumed imitation murder and gang violence, things that never existed before the film.
Kubrick himself withdrew the film from British theater circulation in 1973 due to the social prospects of the film and the multiple death threats he received.
Warner Bros. pays tribute to Kubrick, hoping to keep the movie out until his death. A year after Kubrick’s death, Warner Bros. reapplyed for a British film certificate and was accepted.
This is a rare situation where the creator is a reviewer, but he doesn’t need much help. The film has been subject to an official ban on review boards in Argentina, Brazil, Ireland, Singapore and South Africa.
Sorry, Stanley, we love your movies and can understand fear of death threats, but time proves that no censor will be able to stop Drogs or the government from doing what they want to do to them.
It looks like my time is coming to an end, but would you like to hear more sci-fi movies that are banned? Let us know in the comments, for example videos, and subscribe to the channel, maybe we will make another of these videos for you.
