Singapore films

I recently read this article on mrbrown.com "praising" the censorship board of Singapore for being, like everything in Singapore, very efficient. Maybe a bit too efficient.

Let me explain, in almost all the movies that I have watched so far in the cinema, there will be some parts that have either cut from the movies. Even M18 ones and NC16 ones. I mean, shouldn't there be less cut scenes since this is are rated films? They might as well made it 'G', so the whole family can enjoy the cut where Bruce Wills hits a baddie in the face(Well, they will censor it in the movies anyway).

Sometimes in life, more sounds good, principally because it sounds like progress. But, less isn't sometimes what you call, bad. Maybe it is just the people there get it the other way round, or have a different logic.

Then they say, proudly, that they are promoting 'Made in Singapore' films. However, due to the restrictions being made on movies and stuff, they are not able to fully show what they intend to show. This is one huge dilemma for Singapore film makers. I mean, I do generally quite support local works, but they lack the creativity and soul for the works. That is one of the reason why I would rather watch Scary Movie than I Not Stupid. It's because of the monotony and Cliché of typical bread and butter subjects that turn us off.

Anyway, enough lamenting, or else Captain Pod will come and beat the crap out of me. Meanwhile, enjoy this local product from Royston Tan.
