In China, they believe that cute minions and their charismatic boss Gru can corrupt society. For this reason, the censors used the old trick from their guide to propriety and propriety. they changed the ending to Minions: Gru’s origin be politically correct.
As reported Reuters, the change has not gone unnoticed by the Chinese public. Weibo, the Asian giant’s social network, is littered with comments and screenshots mocking the government’s position.
At the end of the Chinese version Minions: Gru’s origin an addendum was included explaining that Wild Knuckles, the former leader of a group of villains known as Vicious 6, he was eventually caught and sentenced to 20 years in prison.. And for Gru, an even more cheerful fate was chosen: according to the text, he returned to the family and “his main achievement was that he became the father of three girls.”
The ending is clearly different from the one the film gave to its main characters in the original version, where Gru and Wylde Knuckles simply walk off together after it is revealed that the latter managed to escape after faking his own death.
The change that China applied Minions: Gru’s origin No wonder, since this is not the first time this has happened, and it probably won’t be the last. However, this did not prevent the public from expressing its dissatisfaction with the determination of the authorities “clear” virtually all content coming from Hollywood.
China gave a politically correct ending to the new film “Minions”
One of the main critics of the change in the ending set by the censors was the film critic Dusir, which has over 14 million followers on Weibo. “Only we need guidance and special care, because we are afraid that the caricature will “corrupt” us,” he said.
As we mentioned, the case of the latest Minions movie is far from the only one of its kind in China. In fact, at the beginning of this year, there was a big controversy in this country due to a change in the ending that applied to Fight club in its premiere on the Tencent Video streaming platform.
At that time, the methodology was similar to that used now in Minions: Gru’s origin. The censors cut out the final part of the film and inserted a script indicating that the police discovered Tyler Durden’s plans and arrested his accomplices. Finally, they commented that the protagonist was sent to an insane asylum for his actions.
What struck me was that the Chinese ending Fight club it felt more like a Chuck Palahniuk novel than a David Fincher movie. After controversy, this was canceled and the original closure was reinstated; which gives some hope that China check this bullshit and do the same with the new Minions feature film.
