PAPER 1 DONE!...FILM CENSORSHIP

So I've finally finished Paper 1 in Film History class.  It was a tricky one, I must say.  Putting all of my information together and comparing/contrasting the different points was tough!  I used censorship as my main basis for my paper and I found some interesting information.  Censorship of film has a colorful past and folks back then didn't like homicide very much, it seems.  They didn't want any homicide scenes on film, nor any arson or poisoning either.  I found this a bit humorous and interesting.  Look at the movies of today and look at how much these themes are used: regularly.  We have come a long way from the censorship of that era, but there still is censorship in movies today.  All of this reminds me of a certain documentary I watched last year about film ratings.  I can't remember the exact name but it was something like "This documentary is not rated."
