CatstropheWaitress posted:This is particularly funny in big Indian productions where the protagonists are SO IN LOVE, a love that burns unfathomably hot and passionately, yet if they kiss at all it's like a gentle peck. I do not exaggerate when I say even showing kissing is censored in some countries.

I have nothing against sex scenes in movies, but you are making an idiotic generalization. You can 100% have art that's "honest about humanity" including no sex at all. I suspect it'd be more accurate to say that art (for adults) that can't include sex is dishonest to the human experience ...though I suspect that the logic could be tighter.

Most people have probably done more sex than killing people.

I think I remember a Ramona Quimby book where she demanded to know why, if going to the bathroom is so important that they showed all the kids where the bathroom is on the first day, they don't mention in the story when Joe the Construction Worker went to the bathroom?

Movies just need brutal violence, elaborate excuses for brutal violence, and smug quips about the brutal violence.

Dunno if anyone will find this interesting, but here are some of the most common types of censorship in films based on countries that are most censorship-heavy - Bahrain - Nude art, Nudity India - Cursing, Certain Dismemberment, Nudity, Drugs, Smoking, Alcohol. NOTE: If the smoking, drugs, and alcohol are too present in the film to cut out, then the film will receive and on-screen anti-drug/alcohol/smoking warning for the duration of the content. Japan - Sex scenes Kuwait - Kissing, Scantily clad women (revealing dresses, bikinis, etc) Malaysia - Certain cursing, Middle Finger gestures, Qatar - Kissing, Nude Art, Middle Finger gestures, Sex, Intimate Scenes (too much cuddling), Philippines - Male genitals Saudi Arabia - Kissing, Nudity, Sex Singapore - Religious cursing Vietnam - Corpses, Excessive Bodily Fluids (blood/vomiting) Now you may ask "What does this censorship look like?" It varies depending on the situation. It may just be an on-screen blur. This is most common when the scene is important and the censored item is not central to the scene - for example, for India censorship - if there is the bottle of alcohol in the background, the label might get blurred. Other times, the scene is cut entirely. This is often for nude/sex scenes or scenes that are non-essential and do not hurt the understanding of the film. Depending on the shot, there may be zoom-ins. This is during times when the "offending item" is to the edge of the screen. Perhaps zooming the shot in 10% and adjusting it to the side will allow the item to fall off the edge. Most common censorship countries are Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Kuwait, Malaysia, Qatar, and India. I know China is also fairly censorship heavy, but I don't do work for them. I believe most film censorship for China ends up happening in-country.

Failed Imagineer posted:This might be true for your life, but sex is a pretty common human experience Sure. So is dealing with death. Must every art that is honest to humanity had a death? Eating is a common human experience. No art that is honest about humanity is complete without a meal? Working is a common human experience, so any art that is not dealing with working is not honest about humanity, I suppose. And having kids! The only arts true about humanity must have parenthood! Growing up? Bildungsroman or bust, I suppose...

Gripweed posted:Why do we need scenes at all? Don’t even make movies anymore just go straight to making the YouTube videos explaining the movies you were going to make. Cut out the middle man and stop wasting everyone’s time. There's a scene in This is Not a Film in which the director is talking about a movie he wanted to make, here's what the opening scene would be, here's how it would be shot, etc. He manages to make it pretty compelling and I'd love to hear him go through the whole thing. Though of course after walking through a bit of it he suddenly stops and says: If you could tell a film, why make a film?

Mordiceius posted:As someone who often deals with censorship demands from various countries - sexual stuff gets censored by governments all the time. Violence does not. In my country (Denmark) it is basically the opposite - except we don't censor stuff, we just rate the films. For example, all the American Pie films, except one, are rated A (the equivalent of the American G). The exception is American Pie: Reunion which is rated 7 (PG-ish). Why? Someone gets into a fight and is punched in the face. Also, if a studio doesn't want to pay for the rating, they can just release it unrated, in which case the maximum rating of 15 is automatically applied. This carries no penalties in the form of cinemas not being willing to show the film or shops refusing to carry physical media.

It also seems that they have to make it absolutely clear that this guy doesn't actually kick the poo poo out of a bull (hence the little "C.G.I." logo in the corner): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dFeczHMf58

Listening to the Icelandic presidential debates. Thankfully there's only 12 candidates out of the 62 who tried to run but 50 couldn't get enough signatures. At least 8 were very stupid people who were trying to sign as supporters of other candidates but accidentally ran for president). Only three or four have any chance of winning. It's awkward but I'm glad that the Icelandic election cycle is only a few months and not several years like in the USA. Also thankfully our president is basically a find and replace from the Danish king (because the people who wrote the constitution in 1944 were very lazy) and thus a largely powerless figure whose main job is giving out medals, hosting parties, cutting ribbons, and shaking hands with foreign dignitaries. Basically superfluous but somehow less inbred than the Danish equivalent.

The boring answer is Empire, both because it's the answer to nearly every "name a movie without x" challenges and because it's incredibly boring.
