When in 1972 it was released Mechanical orangeA good part of the public reacted with surprise to his premise. The story of five youth criminals, capable of any atrocity Stanley Kubrick, did not leave anyone indifferent. And the reasons were not absent. To show obvious violence at a new level for cinema, especially because it was not subjected to censorship and was not nuanced with a moral message – to a violation. The film that adapted the work From the same name of Anthony Bergesus, he ridiculed all aspects of English society.
In the midst of contradictions, the film was prohibited in the UK, while in North America he received a nomination for an Oscar for the best production of the year. Something, which in itself returned the work of worship and phenomena. Finally, at the beginning of 1977, the film was released in Latin America, which caused inciting disputes about his argument. The turn of events that confirmed this as one of the most controversial films in history. The one that, from his point of view of cruelty, The crime and cruelty of human nature would be unthinkable, can achieve current films.
But this is not the only one. We leave you five films that, for various reasons, it would be impossible to release today. Romantic comedy, more muddy than it seems, before Thriller erotic stress with a complex background that will wake up a scandal today. All that you need to think about cinema and its topics, But first of all, the evolution of public opinion about genres and its topics.
Pretty Woman
In 1990, a film that looked like a fairy tale for adults became a great success. Moreover, the director Harry Marshall investigated in his difficult problems in terms of romantic comedy. Thus, the story of a sex worker (Julia Roberts), who ultimately fell in love with the executive director (Richard Gir), who saves her from her grief, blinded. But in the distance the majority His contradictory views would be impossible to cope with the sensitivity of the current.
From a romantic vision of prostitution to even, to turning sexual aggression, which, although it will not become unsurpassed, worries. The tape crosses the barbed terrain about women, sexual freedom and not inequality of power in relations in agreement. And although a beautiful woman is trying to be something else This sour romance, which ends with a happy ending, remains controversial.
Much more when the JF Lawton argument does not hide that it is much more sweeter than realistic. For which questions about the nature of sex and love in the midst of transactional relations are inevitable. Something, that, with curiosity, is nominated for an Oscar AnoraHe inherited to some extent. Only the work of Sean Baker is much more intuitive and, without a doubt, focused on demonstrating pain and darkness, under the alleged love story. Something Pretty Woman Forget completely.
Harassment
In 1994, the idea of sexual harassment of work was much more nebula than today. Which allowed the director Barry Levinson to develop the script of Paul Attanasio, based on the novel by Michael Kruton, at a disputed angle. This, showing the character of Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore), as a villain of Temer. Not only embodying the stereotype of a powerful female figure as a high corporate leader. In addition, for the opportunity to use This position for pressing, manipulating and blackmailing your man.
This is exactly what happens when Meredith is trying to bury the career of Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) after he rejected her in a sexual offensive. The tape, in the prerequisite, explores that the leaders lack restrictions and actually knows that it can use security protocols that should protect it from Tom. The fact that he raises that the character uses everything that could give preference for the counterattack to realize the essence of the fact that Newsweek He called the white male paranoia a year earlier. A point that translates as confidence that any Anglo -Saxon person is on average This is dangerous to attacked a simple fact of being.
Currently, after the paper of the #Meetoo movement, the premise is controversial as necessary. In particular, even Roman Cruiton or Levinson’s film analyzes the persecution as sexual violence. In fact, they do it as a game of strength and seduction. It seems much worse when his conclusion seems to be a confirmation that the position of the hierarchy awakens whose one is the worst appetite. Something, which dilutes the most serious element of persecution at the workplace: the use of sex as a form of direct control and manipulation. What trivial approach of the tape cannot cover.
Obscene offer
Apparently, the 1990s gave everything possible in controversial stories. Something confirming this film by Edian Lina in 1993, which will currently be almost impossible to take in the movie. The premise follows Diane (Demi Moore) and David Murphy (Woody Harrelson), marriage, who crosses a serious economic situation. Therefore, when millionaire John Gage (Robert Redford) offers Diana A million dollars for a night together will create a complex conflict.
This is when the marriage should take this idea not only to avoid bankruptcy, but also within your own experience together. In the 1990s, the film caused a stir, because the tape, the possibility of a clear desire and greed. This was not a violation, nor aggression in exchange for the amount of money. In fact, Gage’s proposal was more like a raised purpose. Except, which was also a million dollars.
Of course, today the film would be unthinkable to offer a woman to be part of a commercial transaction. Much less, how the tape raises it – even a contract was signed – and, even worse, the reaction of the couple after the consent of infidelity. Absurly, sometimes confusing, the tape will be considered today, forcibly retrograde and Even capable of providing a romantic brilliance for prostitution.
Robocop
This eightieth science fiction classic, director Paul Verkhoven, is excessive, where he looks at him. Not only for seeing the dehumanization of capitalism, capable of transforming a policeman in a cruel experiment. At the same time, to show the idea from an increasingly distorted and humiliating decay. The truth is that Robocopshines in his own sense of call, horror and corrosion feeling of satire, This turns the film into non -classified experience.
Of course, a similar tape is full of sequences for the history of extreme cinema. From the murder of Murphy (Peter Weller) in the bloody scene, which challenges any sensitivity, the robocop saves the woman from rape, shooting at him between her legs. Everything is conjugated in urban dystopia, which draws To Detroit on the verge of destruction and arrival of technological totalitarianism.
Part of the success of a similar argument was connected with the historical moment when he arrived, at the height of Debats about business ethics and monstrous ambitions. Perhaps, for this reason, an attempt to return the police robot failed back and even a little ridiculous. Which only confirmed the brilliant The vision of modern evil Verkhoven in the original, unthinkable today.
The main instinct
Also Paul Verkhoven, this Thriller Erotic – a recipe for a scandal with a film taken in its most delusional extreme. The story of the bisexual serial killer Katherine Trome (Sharon Stone) deepens both violence and sexual power. So many arguments are a study on The character’s ability to terrorize, manipulate and kill.
But, in addition, the director decided to explore in all of the above, through provocation and scandal. From the cult legs of the character, until he plans that his lover of lesbians was a criminal without atonement. The tape played all types of sensitive moments and with decadent impudence, which caused protests and contempt of groups of activists. The turn of events that They would almost be impossible to release a film today.
