"Isn't that good enough reason to ban it, or at least demand extensive cuts? But have we - that is to say, the hesitant, fumbling, comfortably cushioned, value-free Leftish elite who now govern us - got the guts? I doubt it."
All it has to do is “insult” Islam
The biggest problem for Britain is not that people would be interested in seeing this crap...but that the government would be in a position to ‘ban’ it in the first place. And what a strange and corrupt notion of appropriate government action with this can be approved for general consumption, but the like of Michael Savage are banned from entering the country. I love England, but the entire country seems to be rotting from the core.
it's your job, suck it up and see the movie. or don't write about it!
there are scenes in movies that make me queezy and that takes a lot given what i have seen in real life. Deliverance, The Accused, and Casino come to mind right off the bat.
This is absurd. Have you seen pornography lately? I guarantee you nothing in this movie is 1/2 of what is readily available in free porn these days.
Maybe this will end his disgusting "career".
Seeing as it is from Lars von Trier, I won’t be seeing it. I’ve walked out of TWO of his movies bored to tears.
I get kind of queasy about the thought of banning films. I don’t go to movies much because I don’t want to support the filth/leftist agenda that is so pervasive. I speak with my money, and just don’t view or let my children view these kinds of films.
Oooo, an anti Christian movie, how daring...
I double dog dare you to make a similar film about Mohammed.
Reminds me of the unredeemably tasteless The Thief the cook, his wife and her Lover” from 20 years ago.
One of four movies I have ever walked out on.
Another fatuous piece of celluloid envelope-pushing
that might have been successful in the jaded atmospherics
of Hitler’s Germany, but nowhere else.
Peter Greenaway was the director.
Lars von Trier made the proverbial “big splash” years ago
with a piece of nonsense called “Breaking the Waves”.
I saw a half hour of it and returned the Videotape.
The other two films I stopped watching , and now I can’t see why, were “The Fixer”, with the late Alan Bates, and
“Black and White in Color”, and both were probably quite good, but irritated me no end when I tried to watch them.
Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” nearly made the banned list simply through denial of distribution. Other than pro-Christian or anti-abortion themes, everything else seems acceptable, even for prime-time TV distribution. On TV recently during what used to be the “children’s hour,” I’ve seen movie depictions of self-administered male oral sex, anal sex, plain old BJs, horrific mutilations and every ugly, nasty, stomach-turning sickness the immature imaginations of movie producers can dream up.
“What DOES it take for a film to get banned these days?”
Easy answer.
Just show the cult of death for what it is - a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion, and you’ll be banned.
Just show the little baby in the womb, and you’ll be banned.
But if you want to destroy the moral principles that have held people together in a civilization, go right ahead, because the censors will not stop you.
Does this guy have an internet connection?
If he wants to see freaky unforgettable, seared in your memory, how-the-hell-can-they-do-that stuff, its as easy as a click.
I don’t pay much attention to film critics in general, less so when they admit up front that they have not seen it.
It strains the critics credibility (IMHO) when, having not seen the film, he states that it is “A film which plumbs new depths of sexual explicitness, excruciating violence and degradation”
Wouldn’t you need to see the movie to state that?
ping me when it opens in the states.
