Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

Hello friends, I think censorship is really required for movies.Because without censorship there is no control or restriction on movies.Any director can release any movie that would affect our culture.our country's culture is different than other country so our country's culture should not affect by bad movies so censorship is required for movies to decide culture of movies.

I totaly agree with the point that censorship plays an important role but it also depends on the perception of the viewer that how he or she watches the movie. The Indian cinema, our culture, our youth are adversely being affected by this. Indeed some good and educational programmes must be broadcasted on tv in order to provide a good message to the students, teenagers and youngsters.

I am of the opinion that today's cinemas as well as serials in T. V are mainly concentrating on the duels between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, father-in-law and son- in-law, dowry related threats and molestation, suicides followed by this by the bride, and modern ways of murder and thefts and of course 'Holier than thou' attitude by all. These are either copied down by the new generation or they are becoming mentally become a slave to such ideas and emotions that are shown in these movies and serials. The result is that the family loses the peaceful atmosphere in which it was moving and on a fine morning the relations, love affection etc withers away. Who is responsible for that? Who becomes a prey to these inhuman life style? And who earns out of it? Who loses everything in life? PEACE shatters into PIECES in every house.

Certain social immoral guys with the help of certain powerful authorities in the private and government sector amass wealth and fame out of these poor incidences. We, peace loving people, wants to restore a calm, lovable, friendly and sincere life in future. Life is for enjoyment in the natural way and not in a barbaric style. I request Censor board to censor all such misleading and dreadful scenes from films and serials. Remember, that a guy who works the whole day for his bread and when here turns home to enjoy a leisurely hours, he is been welcomed by these types of nasty vulgar dreadful cinemas and serials.

From my opinions, it is better that the parents should not take there children away for these because in today's generation, kids gets smart enough, they find any ways to reach these and knows about it. 18 declares the age of maturity but it seems in today's generation 13-14 years kids empower them-self as mature and do the vulgar thing and it is the fact.

The people above 18 are mature enough to understand the censored stuff and all but with the fast forward generation the kids are also taking interest in all of this. The more we want them away from it, the more they are getting attracted towards it. There is no way to hide it from them because there are many other sources like internet to go through all this even if a movie is banned for below 18 children. The increasing western culture is affecting the brains.

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.

Good morning friends,

We are all know about our Indian culture. In olden days everyone should followed our culture very perfectly. But now a days our culture go to changing. This is occur in some movies. The censor board refuse vulgar words and censes which are not suitable our culture. So censor board is try to rescue our Indian culture.

Censor boards duty is not to edit films but to classify the movie according to content, so that people make an informed choice whether to watch the movie or not, films should reflect our society so there is no point in editing the content.

Hello friends.

I agree with the point that censor plays a vital role in cinema. But if the movie has been rated A then it becomes our responsibility that below 18 must not watch it. Why to blame the censor board. And regarding the sentiments of the people, the filmmaker can not respect everyone's sentiments, as the population of this country is very large in numbers. It is we that how we take the movie.

India is a religious country and indians are quite sensitive on certain issues and becasue of which censorship plays an important role in our country. It helps in drawing the line and makes sure that we films are not something which could hurt the sentiments of any section of the population. India is a house to so many cultures, religions etc and hence it is our duty to care for everybody's sentiments.

Also, with time, our people's perceptions, attitudes change and censor board should adapt itslef accordingly and deliver an effective censorship.
