Piracy - no check on certificate
Devalues technology and film
Developing technology allows people to pirate them and steal
Longer lasting videos- lower cinema attendance
Illegal but video certificates can not be checked when at home
Censorship- graphic violence, rape, pornographic sex scenes
Censored movies- can't see at the movies, made the popular to see what the fuss was about
Being told it's bad by Margaret thatcher, Conservative party
The human centipede 2- censored
People might act upon it
Clockwork orange- rape as violence, teenage character
Morally wrong
Government- censored films but they hadn't watched them
Upper class protecting working class
Nanny state- treated like children
Moral panic
Scape goat
Low budget- more realistic
Remove phalic images
Nudity
"Lesbians and homos"
Teddy boys
Years later the wild one was allowed to be shown
1971- scandal movies
The director had death threats to his family so he withdrew clockwork orange from being shown in England
Video nasties horrific enough to seized by the police
Moral panic- introduce classification
News- links disasters to films
Technology; home video
Political; conservative government sought to protect by putting age regulations and restrictions
Mortality, video nasties- censorships
Social; riots against Margaret thatcher, so they waited for campaigns against video nasties to step in, Mary whitehouse
Media, scape goat, moral panic
Economic;cinema attendance declined, low budget made for a niche audience
Modern day, horror films which were censored have now been remade as society has been exposed and therefore are more lenient- Texas chainsaw
Influential to the film industry
Case studies;
Texas chainsaw
I spit on your grave
Evil dead
Driller killed
