The Beauty and the Beast, Deadpool, Wonder Woman … When the censorship passes, these films die

Cinema 3 June, 2017

For a film to be censored in France, it must really push the plug VERY VERY FAR, but other countries are much stricter!
To put Wonder Woman back, it is risky, but sometimes, one can not do otherwise! The film will land in June in all the dark rooms of the world, except in Lebanon. Yes, it’s official, the country has just banned the new Warner / DC Comics because Gal Gadot, the actress who lends her traits to Wonder Woman, is an Israeli . Between the two countries, the tensions are sharp and so, even the cinema must comply with the rules. Not cool for the Lebanese who were waiting to discover the film, because we prefer to tell you, THE FILM IS REALLY COOL! Censored movies happen more often than we think, and sometimes we are very surprised. So who did not resist censorship?
The Beautiful and the Beast – Eternal Story remastered for modern times, the Disney tale that offered a new youth with Emma Watson & Dan Stevens also included a gay character , which did not please the Malaysia and Kuwait, countries in which homosexuality is considered a crime. They will have to content themselves with the animation film released in the 90’s. Too bad!
Ghostbusters – In China, one does not joke with the afterlife! The ghosts are scary and Chinese censorship refuses that the country enjoys movies that evoke the supernatural forces … Yet it is funny the film and saw that it did not work very well at the US Box Office , A little help from the Chinese market would not have been too much. The real question is: did the Chinese see Casper the Gentile Ghost ?
Deadpool – Marvel’s borderline hero does not do lace, he talks about ass, insults all those who pass and when he meets his enemies, he does NOT GIVE them. For the polite and tender hero in search of peace in the world, we will go back … But when we remove all this to Deadpool, we end up with Captain America and it is not the same what … So impossible To make it more respectable and China decided that Wade Wilson would not come shocking them!
The Wall Street Wolf – What countries still resist Leonardo DiCaprio? Malaysia, Nepal, Zimbabwe and Kenya found that drugs and excesses were far too present in The Wall Street Wolf and so, in order not to give bad ideas to the audience, the film was censored. Leo still won a Golden Globe thanks to that!
Noah – The film with Russell Crowe, Emma Watson and Logan Lerman tells Noah’s adventures as he builds his ark to survive the great cataclysm and tries to save what he can. This film did not please a large majority of Muslim majority countries because it is forbidden to represent a prophet like Noah there . Have they missed some? We leave you judges!
