Censored? Where?

That’s it. That’s what I noticed nowadays. Where’s the censorship for movies in cinemas nowadays? I thought the Malaysian Governments is quite harsh when it comes to 18SX movies and censorships. But I saw a few recent movies with hardly any censorship at all.

First, I saw the movie Skeleton Key starring Kate Hudson. The scene when she was taking a bath, clearly we as the audience can see the top part of her body and naked. I mean…I really don’t mind seeing this scene but I was abit shocked that the censorship board missed this part of the scene. Do they missed or do they think it’s okay to show since we’re living in modern Malaysia where people are getting more open minded?

Another movie was the Transporter 2. The scene for Lola, played by Kate Nauta. Well….if you missed “seeing” her then I don’t know la. It was so obvious that she was…errmm…semi exposing herself throughout the entire movie. Same goes for Unleashed starring Jet Li. They showed the violent fight scenes and the sex scene between the boss and a prostitute. Not censored at all. ?Whaa?

There are many other recent movies out there that are uncensored. This time they show the full kissing scene, unlike the old jump-to-the-next-scene-without-you-knowing-what-happened kinda thing. And the word f*ck or bi*ch can be heard clearly.

Thing is, what’s going on with the censorship board? Sleeping? Or just trying to be open minded. I don’t know…you tell me.

I really don’t mind about not having censorships. I’m an adult and I know what’s good and what’s bad. But parents should be more responsible when bringing their kids to the movies. During the movie Unleashed, I saw a kid with his parents in the cinema hall. This is not the right movie for that kid, especially with all the violence and sex scenes. When they show 18SX, they really mean 18 and above only. So parents, try not to bring your kids to any 18SX movies.
