Sloppy censorship

Sloppy censorship

From Bisnis Indonesia

It was inevitable that the film Striptease, starring Demi Moore and currently showing in movie houses, would be heavily cut by the censorship board.

It is deplorable that the board has done some sloppy work, leaving much too obvious breaks in the film's sequence.

Apart from smoother transitions to cover up the mutilated parts of films, I expect the censorship board to be more flexible in their criteria.

With Striptease, I do not know how much footage was cut. I can only say after viewing the results that I have been duped.

I suggest to the censor board to change the title of a film if the contents no longer reflect the original title. Striptease could aptly be retitled: The woes and struggle of a responsible housewife.
