Censorship in Movies & Our Culture

According to me, censor board should not be abolished. Some of the scenes in the films are not suitable for our Little ones. I'm not saying only about different adult Scenes but also those which involves violence. It affects the mind of everyone. Especially the mind of little ones is affected the most. So censor board is just providing a protective layer to our Minds. Because films are jobs to actors they have to do what they get even right or wrong. So, censor board is there who picks out some of the things which they thought are not suitable for our society, and remember one thing that they have to think about all ages and not only a particular. So, they are doing a good thing. Rest depends on your thoughts and thinking.

Thanks it's a GARVIT'S view.

We know what we are. Nobody has right to offend when we watch some sort of cinemas that contains violence and some scenes because we know our limits and lines. We know up to which extent we should watch and we are also not dumb that we can't understand what is good and bad for us. So why this word "censorship" comes into our mind. If we talk about the children or students then if we won't allow them for movies then also they will use the internet for watching movies because they are smart enough that we should not have to tell them any thing.

I think censor board did a great job over the years. A nudity scene, political violence or sex scene has a large effect on people's mind but again I am saying that it depends on our mentality. A scene which creates violence or which creates harmful effects on the children's mind I think that should be banned.

Hii Friends !

It's great to hear your valuable opinions on such a controversial topic.

In my opinion, movies are inspired from reality ie they are the replica of our society. Whatever prevails in our society either good or bad gets replicated in the movies ie it makes a direct impact on our culture. I do feel the same that movies should be made taking care of the audience, I mean there are specific scenes which are not fit for certain age group or should be viewed under adult supervision so it is the duty of the censor board to cut off such scenes because it can cause ill effect upon the minds of audience who aren't mature enough. Thus movies play a pivotal role towards shaping the culture of society and interference of censorship is quite evident for the preserving of our culture.

Thank you Guys!

Hope you like it.

I definitely agree with you Kiran. As he said the tech now days are far beyond our reach. We are not dumping so that if any violence or any other contents are shown will influence us. As we are living in the largest democratic country in the world with every citizen have the right to speak and express their views the censorship is putting their scissors over our rights hear. So as per my opinion let the people decide what to see or what not to.

In present movies, we see more vulgar, nudity and violence. Movies have more such statement that could not see with family, our culture does not allow to do these. These scenes must be censored. Director tells that we put these scenes because people want these. But they cross the limit that should be cut by the censor board. By which a movie can be seen with family and accepted by our society.

Hello everyone.

I am assuming from my point of view that most of these opinions come from middle-aged men and women who are overprotective of their beloved sons and daughters. I m myself in my early 20s right now and I think our censor board is really overdoing it. What I m saying is what is the point of watching a movie in the theater if we are not gonna see half of it. We can wait a few months to get a rip off from the internet. Sometimes the censoring destroys the continuity of the story, destroys the humour and several other things. I really don't believe a person (let it be a late teen) who watch an A rated film gonna have his mind completely altered to negative mentality. There is a thing called porn if you are worried about nudity and a thing called GTA if you're gonna puke on seeing a person head blown off by a shotgun. I just elaborated on the reality of the situation happening around us right now, censoring a few minutes of a film is never gonna change that. Each one of us gets to decide what we should become.

Why is censorship wrong?

The arguments I've heard so far would be that it goes against "our" culture, it is too vulgar for "us", and also that it would be bad for the kids. Now, the "our", and "us" is more like your. Okay. Fine. These scenes offend you, don't go see them. We can't call ourselves a democracy if we ban everything that we don't agree with. There is a reason we have PG, or UA, or some other type of ratings with the movies in our theaters. If you don't want nudity, don't watch A rated movies. It's your choice, as it should be for someone who lives in a democracy. What is not okay, however, is to take that choice away from someone else, just because you don't agree with the contents of a cinema, or, completely unrelated, what someone chooses to eat.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I think movies shouldn't be censored because there are some people who enjoy watching such scenes. Some people who don't want to view sex, violence or use of a certain word should not watch at all.

Children should be banned from watching A rated movies, because it will make them feel disturbed and also they might get curious and search up words or porn sites or disturbing pictures on the internet as these days the younger generation is very good at handling electronic gadgets. 18 years and above should be allowed only as the younger people are not completely mature.

According to me, censorship should not be out on movies.

1) Firstly it spoils the meaning and lesson given by the movie.

2) Censoring of content hides the reality from people and make them see fiction stuff.

3) Relating to adult scene the movie broadcaster help to rate the movie adult or universal or both.

4) One of the most important things is that parents should talk to their children about sex education. They should not make them fall into the wrong direction by ignoring the topic. Such scene attracts children if they are not told they make go in the wrong directions.
