Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

Censor board plays a pivotal role in the outcome of a cinema in a good way.In olden days there rarely used to be vulgar scenes in a cinema. But things have drastically changed now. More time has been allocated for the scenes which effect human sentiments and which effect our culture. More number of vulgar scenes have been put up by the directors so as to collect high revenues for the movie.



I think this is high time for taking strict steps in the censorship board to save our future generation going in a wrong way.

Today most of the movies do not give meaningful context rather concentrating on social activities, concentrating on vulgarity.And i dont think so even censor board also playing complete role,depending on the industry the role has been playing. when it comes to censor board do not consider whether it is bollywood or kollywood or any other industry.
I think this is the time for delivering rightful message to the people.

According to me vulgar scene is vulgar depending upon the perception of the viewer and its relevence in the movie. If a movie plot is such that it has to show a love making scene then they will show it and the censor board will certify it as A grade.



The A grade itself tells people that it will have some sensual scenes, so why see it if one is not comfortable with such scenes. yes i agree to shanker and teja if the scene is totally irrelevent in the movie like a bar dance or something like that. its time to accept the changes that are occuring in the society and our culture.

Censor Board plays an important role in the quality of todays movies. Nowadays movie makers are targetting for money only not for giving a good movie or message to society. They showing more glamor and attracting youth and making profits.



Censor Boards are nominated for providing certificates to the movie whether it suit for all age or for adults. So it helps to know what kind of movie it is one important thing is it slowly decrease the quality of films and spoiling youths and culture.

I don't want that our sensor board should restrict to only cutting vulgar scenes, but it should be something more beyond that.



Because we, all most all, like to watch movies. It is true that it really affects on our thoughts and behavior.



Our culture has given ethics and basics to be followed to become a good person and if a movie is providing something against those ethics then that should get banned. Because it's something by which you can pass on the message or affect large amounts of lives.

In my opinion, the movies are only for our entertainment and whatever scene we see in the movie can be not suitable for society. We should try to avoid these kind of scenes in the movies.

According to me vulgar scenes are very very common in Hollywood and Bollywood these days. And the censorship is just allowing for it. This will affect the small kids.

Why so vulgar scenes not blocked by sensor board?.

THIS MEANS THERE IS NO USE OF CENSORSHIP IF THEY ONLY ARE ALLOWING FOR THESE VULGAR SCENES.

I've read all of these and the two common things I see are these: 1- There are a lot of bad movies and they can/will/are affecting our youth! 2- The censorship board is not doing anything about it.

Yes, there are A LOT of movies out there that are vulgar, profane and just inappropriate for children. But you know what? You're "small children" are NOT BEING FORCED TO WATCH THESE! How about we stop blaming our problems on other people? Hitler's idea didn't end well for anyone.

If you want my opinion into the "final solution to 'cleaning up our youth'" then here it is:.

It's a simple thing called PARENTING!.

Maybe you have 2 to 10 or more jobs and have no time, well who's fault is that? Maybe it's time to stop watching your children from the side lines and take a more active role in their lives. But then again, we are all lazy one way or another, so do what you want. You can keep barking at other people to fix your problems, or you can do something that matters and actually care for your child/children.

Just so you know, I'm a seventeen year old guy who goes to high school. When I was about 6, my mother was a terrible alcoholic and my father died before I could even remember anything. She would let my brother and I watch are rated movies all the time. All through my life I have been exposed to violence, profanity and vulgarity and believe it or not, I'm not some rotten evil teenager who just loves to bully other kids and take advantage of women. I work hard daily to keep up with band, choir, an honors senior English class, a government class, National History Day, Adventures in Supercomputing, a college music class, Harding University Admission applications to the university as well as into an online Bible class with Harding. So you can either continue to be as ignorant as you are and blame everyone else, or you can take some advice from somebody who knows and either make time for your children or take a break from commenting on discussions about how everyone else is the reason your youth is going bad and get involved in your child's life.

P. S. I happened across this discussion while searching for examples of censorship for a satirical speech that I am to do this Monday in my English class and let me just take the time to say thank you very much, this was just what I needed.

From last 5 or 6 years we can notice that our bollywood industry is very much influenced by hollywood. Showing vulgur scenes is very common in hollywood. But I think that the censor board has forgoten that we are living in India which is a religious country. We do have a unique culture which do not permit us for such kind of stuff. So the censor board must band on producing such kind of movies.

I think censorship should be allowed but in a limited way. The censor board should not. Interfere in the thoughts & ideas of film maker by forcing him to sound the " galiyan " as beep. If in a movie, there is a stunt scene, it should be censored. But the national television if showing a serial every weekend of an hour of life threatening stunts, then there is no issue.

I think with the changing time, we should be ready enough to accept the changes. If censor board is giving a movie, a title of A. I Think movie is a complete package of emotions like love, stunts (action) , sad, joy, sacrifice, victory. The thoughts of film maker should not be crushed.

In the end I would like to say that cenorship should be there, when required. In a movie if there is unrequired pornographic material, it should be censored.
