because a movie is an artistic expression and shouldn't be altered.
But if they have the directors permission, and it would make their idea reach an audience it normally couldn't, then OK. As a teacher, there are oodles of films I would love to discuss with my students and I can't because of one or two bad words or one or two scenes. To solve that problem, I just do my own editing, what's the difference?I find people in the United States to be completely preocupied with sexuality and nudity, and to a much lesser degree, bloodshed and gore. This is evidenced by the fact that you can see nine year olds playing mortal combat and even seeing the movie, but worlds collide if they may happen upon a woman breasfeeding. You don't see any kid's video games with naked people in them do you?
Because of said preocipations in our culture it is nessessary to have "elective" censorship, and these techniques at our disposal actually help to preserve or Freedom of Expression. For example, can you imagine what would happen to our cable channels if they didn't have parental control devices on the cable boxes?--I shudder to think!
At any rate, these elective procedures help to diffuse the argument that our freedoms must be be eliminated or curtailed in order to protect the children. In turn helping children grow up in a free society.mp
