A politically-correct guide to film censorship : Comments

By Tim O'Hare, published 15/7/2020

Of course, once the values of 2020 are obsolete, we must limit film choices further because the only way we are to progress as a society is if everyone thinks the same.

Well said.
We live in interesting, if crazy, times.
And they will become even more so with imbeciles like trump and bojo around. Hopefully for not much longer.

More important than social distancing is mental distancing, if you want to stay sane these days. How many people would be watching Gone With The Wind now! Just ignored the bullshite.

It's funny how views change to support a certain new perspective.

I would have thought Gone with the Wind was actually portaying a positive viewership for negroes and their plight

Gone with the wind, has gone with the winds of time. Was historically correct for the time depicted. And, quite frankly my dear, I don't give a dam.

If we allow the race card to be played by activists wanting to right un-rightable historical wrongs!?

The only folk let to racially vilify without being labelled a racist, may well be white folk?

I get there were some bad people that did/are still doing bad stuff to good or innocent folk, women men, ethnic minorities, gays lesbians.

I think something that offends one group on clearly indefensible racist human rights grounds needs to be removed and quarantined. So it's still available to inquiring students as a reminder of what was once done/now unacceptable.

As long as we end the claptrap censorship by folk with puritanical Victorian values!

Allow nudity? But go all tropo over a little pubic hair!

Quite happy for the obscenities to be bleeped. Some folk may think they're Ok? But most folks are still offended by course, ignorant foul-mouthed language.

I've seen most of the films nominated here/see merit in most.
And often started a conversation about long-overdue legislation.

Thus, we've criminalised domestic violence racial vilification/sexual abuse. Legalised abortion/same-sex marriage.

Finally, I would like the example of being colour blind as evidenced in the armed forces, to be the social norm.

Otherwise, the activists will be playing the race card/the guilt trip on every available occasion.

At a time when we need to unite and cooperate as never before in the annuls of human history!

If an imported, against their will, race, (the Chinese) modernised and advanced a nation (Malaysia)! Should all they created be confiscated by the indigenous race because it's allegedly on their ground?

The past is a foreign country none can ever visit! Much of what happened never ever included choice!

Why even a Monarch, may have less personal freedom than a street beggar?

Time for a truth and reconciliation commission/moving forward as a united nation against an increasingly hostile world!

Naturally:

- Jane Fonda's "Barbarella" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarella_(film)

- Racquel Welch's "One Million Years B.C" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Years_B.C.

- and Pamela Anderson's "Baywatch" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baywatch

Should Stay.

Proudly inflated mammaries, barely beLabored by bras, are Liberating to the Sisterhood of Wimmin, througout HERstory.

Are they not?!

You could of course include the unspeakably vile sado-masochistic snuff/splatter movie featured in this review. A movie in which the "hero" representing every single living/breathing/feeling human being and humankind altogether was systematically beaten to death.

At the time it was promoted by all of the pundits of right-wing political correctness to be a superb missionary tool for communicating the "good news" of the gospel - even by the dark presence that infested the vatican at the time.

The toxic world view promoted by that movie is still very much alive in America. Indeed its advocates are "spiritual" advisors to the Golden Haired anti-christ.
