Graphic Content

[lunarious]

While I've said The Defense Department and Hollywood makes the best entertainment. I want to reluctantly take that back. Now I want to say that The Defense Department and Islam makes the best ... stories (to not say entertainment). Because Hollywood is Graphic. We know what Graphic Content means, which is another discource.

Imam Reza (as) said:
مَنْ جَلَسَ مَجْلِساً يُحْيَا فِيهِ أَمْرُنَا لَمْ يَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ
He who sits in a gathering in which our affairs [and our path and aims] are discussed and revived, his heart shall not die on the day [i.e. the Day of Judgment] when hearts shall die [of fear].

Hopefully we're sitting comfortable in our good company. Inshallah the best.

As I watch (and used to judge for film fest screenings) the content of worldwide cinema, I have to say that Hollywood is tamer than most. Hollywood has a censor board - MPAA - that most other countries don't have close to, per their restrictions. The most graphic films used to come out of Italy, but around 2005 and since, France holds the title with S. Korea or Thailand taking second place and then maybe your area of Norway / Sweden or Japan or China being the next closest ones on the list.

I like so many overseas filmmakers, and every time those folks come to make a film in the US, it is never the same quality or freedom of content.
