Rating?
Anyone know what this would be rated today in the United States? Violence? Nudity?
shareI am afraid that currently a movie like this one, with its strong anti-war message its satyrical depiction of the soldiers and their leaders, its criticism towards the filmmakers who likes to glorify war in movies and even to a significant part of the audience who loves war movies and have a romanticized idea of war... a movie like this one IMO could be banned in USA or at least sent to the most obscure cinema circuits.
"Les carabiniers" might be considered "too dangerous" for a society manipulated by its government who have taught them that war is the "only" way.
Nah, there's no nudity or sexual content, and the brief violence is off-screen.
shareI'm sorry, but this is simply asburd. There are no mechanisms in the United States to "ban" films - there is no "national film board" that can prohibit a film from being shown in the United States. There *are* obscenity laws - which differ from locale to locale - which are different, and even these are in serious decline.
If I had a dime for every time someone claimed something was banned in the United States...
There are plenty of anti-war films which have been shown on the big screen, including Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, Stone's Platoon, Hamburger Hill, and others.
You are spouting nonsense.
I repeat: There is no mechanism by which to *ban* films in the United States.
All true.
Now, you _could_ say that a film with this kind of message might do really poorly in a nation that has moved so far to the political right, where we've become prone to defining the very character of the nation in terms of military prowess, where it's part of our identity, etc. It might meet mass disapproval. It might do badly at the box office because of its "artsiness" (actually, it definitely would). But no, it wouldn't be "banned."
