00:00The gods must be crazy. The story tells the life of a member of a primitive and remote tribe
00:04who sees a Coca-Cola bottle fall from the sky after being thrown from a plane.
00:10Since they had never seen anything like it before, the locals thought it was a gift from the gods,
00:15like a sweet nectar fallen from the sky. They started using it for everything,
00:19even for cooking and hammering, until they soon realized that it caused more problems than benefits.
00:24Peaceful lives turned into envy and arguments upon seeing that a bottle of soda caused so much chaos.
00:31This movie aimed to humorously mock the dominant society and its obsession with soft drinks,
00:36and basically because of everything that capitalism makes available to you.
00:40Her portrayal of indigenous culture was also meant to be lighthearted, but not everyone got the joke.
00:46One might think that they only used indigenous culture to prove a point.
00:51However, some people thought that they reinforced stereotypes instead of breaking them.
00:56The movie seemed more like a cultural misunderstanding than a comedy masterpiece.
01:00So instead of making millions of people laugh out loud with its simple yet well-performed joke,
01:06this movie was banned for having a sense of humor not everyone understood,
01:10but not before breaking box office records worldwide.
01:14A Da Vinci Code caused so much controversy that many wondered if Da Vinci hid secret messages in his art.
01:20The plot suggests that Mary Magdalene and Jesus might have had a secret family,
01:25an idea that sparked a firestorm among religious groups.
01:28It was as if someone had rewritten history with strokes of conspiracy,
01:32giving a blasphemous and explosive twist to the foundations of Christianity.
01:36A story so bold that some compared it to finding an adult magazine in the middle of a monastery.
01:42What nobody expected, however,
01:44was the reaction that this clash of concepts between the sacred and the profane would unleash.
01:49While the world plunged into the debate, something much bigger than mere opinions began to develop.
01:55The film touched on such delicate topics that some countries decided it was better to keep it in the vault
02:00of memories.
02:00In places like Saudi Arabia and Egypt,
02:03where preserving respect for religion is almost as essential as life itself,
02:08the movie was quickly banned.
02:09The way the Da Vinci Code portrayed religious institutions not only seemed exaggerated,
02:15but it might make even the most faithful believer question everything they knew about their faith.
02:20What seemed like a conspiracy on screen touched the very heart of the Christian faith.
02:26So the most logical thing to do with a film that could shake faith was to hide it under a
02:31rock called censorship.
02:32The centipede is such a tough experience that it will make you question how far cinema can go
02:38to create something so grotesque.
02:40Something that not even the most terrifying killers could compete with.
02:43Instead of creating the kind of horror that keeps you awake at night,
02:46this movie turned into an extreme test of how strong your stomach can be.
02:50And no, it's not psychological horror.
02:53It's something that goes beyond.
02:55And the worst part is that it's not just fiction.
02:57There is a disturbing reality behind the plot that will make you want to stop the movie,
03:02but you won't be able to.
03:03It all begins with a mad scientist who decides to take his creativity to another level.
03:08This scientist has such a distorted view of human evolution
03:10that he decides to create what he calls the human centipede.
03:14And the worst part is that when he explains it to you,
03:16you won't know whether to laugh or vomit.
03:18And this human centipede thing is not an abstract concept.
03:22It literally involves joining three people from mouth to anus,
03:25creating a human digestive cycle that tests the limits of what a body can endure.
03:30Everything one eats goes through others,
03:32in a repulsion so grotesque that the idea of horror has never been so literal.
03:37The reactions were immediate.
03:39Countries around the world, fearful of the effects this movie could have on the public psyche,
03:44decided it was not something their people should see.
03:47The human centipede was quickly banned in numerous nations,
03:50becoming one of those cursed works that defy any notion of good taste and decency.

04:20Cannibal Holocaust is the movie that many believe should never have existed
04:24because what was found in those tapes goes beyond any horror movie you've seen.
04:29Why?
04:30Because some dared to say that what was being shown was real.
04:33What began as a filmmaker's expedition to the heart of the Amazon jungle
04:37ended in one of the darkest and most controversial tales in the history of cinema.
04:42The team disappeared without a trace.
04:45But when a rescue group found their recordings,
04:47they stumbled upon something no one was prepared to see,
04:51a brutal chaos of cannibalism, extreme violence,
04:54and a terrifying look into the depths of human nature.
04:57And this was just the beginning of the controversy.
05:01What made Cannibal Holocaust go from being a simple horror movie
05:04to a banned phenomenon were the rumors that began to circulate.
05:08Were the deaths it showed real?
05:10Had the actors really suffered harm?
05:12Some even thought it wasn't fiction, but a pure horror documentary.
05:17And this is where the real nightmare begins.
05:20The film showed acts of violence between humans
05:23and also included real scenes of animals being sacrificed,
05:27which turned the project into a mix of cinematic horror and explicit cruelty.
05:32It was too much for any average viewer,
05:34forcing governments and film boards to decide that there are safer ways to enjoy horror.
05:39Countries all over the world have banned it.
05:42But the most curious and daring ones can still find it in the depths of the internet.
05:47Mouse, imagine a movie where mice and cats tell one of the darkest tragedies of humanity.
05:53This movie changed the way of narrating the Holocaust
05:56and also divided the world between those who saw it as a masterpiece
06:00and those who thought it should never have existed.
06:03Based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel,
06:06Mouse depicts Jews as mice and Nazis as cats.
06:10It is a heartbreaking story that takes the horror of the Holocaust
06:13and presents it through caricatured characters,
06:16challenging the way we usually process tragedy.
06:20But this unique approach was precisely what sparked the controversy.
06:24On one hand, some saw it as a brilliant and accessible way to teach history.
06:28On the other hand, there were those who considered it inappropriate,
06:32as if turning the protagonists into cartoons removed the seriousness of the subject.
06:36Although many praised its narrative approach,
06:39the film faced bans mainly due to its depiction of sensitive content.
06:45Some found the graphic portrayal of the Holocaust
06:48through these animated characters too intense.
06:51Imagine turning a Disney movie about animals into one
06:54where the friendly creatures face horrors in a grim historical setting.
07:00This mismatch caused confusion,
07:02making some think it was a family-friendly movie,
07:05only for viewers to encounter the brutal realities of life
07:08through the struggles of the mice and mouse.
07:11Additionally, the movie was criticized
07:13for seemingly altering the serious tone of the original work.
07:16Some felt that the caricatured portrayal
07:19diluted the horrors of the Holocaust,
07:21as if sugar was added to a spicy dish.
07:24For some, this approach seemed disrespectful,
07:28leading schools and countries
07:30to keep the movie out of children's reach.
07:32The Last Temptation of Christ
07:34Imagine your favorite superhero like Superman,
07:37questioning his existence
07:38and contemplating the possibility
07:40of leaving heroism behind for a normal life.
07:43That is why The Last Temptation of Christ faced bans.
07:47It portrays Jesus in a similar light.
07:50Martin Scorsese's religious epic
07:52presents a scenario where the Messiah is tempted
07:55by the appeal of a normal life.
07:57In this story, the Son of God considers settling down,
08:00getting married, having children,
08:02working from nine to five and paying a mortgage,
08:05putting aside the struggle to fulfill his divine mission
08:08of saving humanity a little.
08:11This internal conflict between earthly desires and heavenly duties
08:14was not well received by religious groups.
08:17Scorsese's portrayal of Jesus as a profoundly human figure
08:21with human needs and doubts
08:23was considered blasphemous by some,
08:25especially by the most devout.
08:27Christian groups protested outside the cinemas,
08:30outraged because their savior was shown contemplating
08:33the pros and cons of a normal life.
08:36It's like getting angry because your favorite superhero
08:39decided to take a nap instead of fighting the villain,
08:42Pink Flamingos.
08:43This movie managed to break all the limits and taboos
08:46established in the 1970s.
08:49The plot follows Divine,
08:51a drag queen on a unique mission,
08:53to be crowned as the filthiest person alive.
08:56Imagine a competition where, instead of skills,
08:58you compete to be as grotesque as possible,
09:00but that's not the most surprising thing.
09:02Pink Flamingos includes scenes so shocking
09:05that they might make you rethink what good taste is,
09:07from public acts that no one would dare mention,
09:10to the infamous moment of eating dog poop.
09:12Yes, you read that right.
09:14It's as if the filmmakers decided that normal was too boring
09:18and created a movie designed to offend.
09:22It was banned in several countries,
09:24not because of its quality,
09:25but because it challenges norms and decency
09:28in such a provocative way.
09:29The Dictator.
09:30As soon as you find out that the star of this movie
09:33is the same guy behind Borat and Bruno,
09:35you know it's going to ruffle some feathers.
09:37The Dictator is a direct attack on dictatorship
09:39and authoritarian leadership,
09:41which has led several countries to outright ban it.
09:44The movie follows General Alladin,
09:46a ruthless North African dictator
09:48who rules with an iron fist and has a terrible haircut.
09:52When democracy threatens his power,
09:54he is sent to New York,
09:55where he is overthrown and faces a strange concept.
09:58Democracy.
09:59The movie does not hold back
10:01when it comes to mocking dictators,
10:03using satire to ridicule their behaviors
10:05and cultural stereotypes.
10:07It portrays authoritarian leaders
10:09as foolish, stupid, and outrageous.
10:12His humor is anything but subtle,
10:14and while it is funny in democratic countries,
10:17it is considered an insult to nations
10:19with a history of dictatorship.
10:21Allowing a movie like this
10:23could be like pouring gasoline on an open flame,
10:25potentially causing a political explosion.
10:27That is why it was banned in several Arab countries,
10:30as they considered the movie
10:32to be specifically aimed at insulting them.
10:34Brian's life.
10:35It is more than 2,000 years ago,
10:37and you are living your life normally
10:39until someone accidentally mistakes you for Jesus Christ.
10:43This religious twist turns into a series of funny events
10:46that will make you see the Bible as a comedy book.
10:49Now you will understand why life of Brian
10:51was frowned upon by religious groups.
10:53The film is about a guy born on the same day as Jesus,
10:56who is mistaken for the Savior
10:58because he was born in the house next door.
11:00It's Monty Python's attempt to put a news spin
11:02on biblical stories,
11:04much to the displeasure of those
11:05who prefer their religious tales
11:07to be as solemn as possible.
11:08Treat sacred topics with humor,
11:11leading Christian groups to think
11:13that these guys were simply mocking their Savior
11:15and using the story of Jesus
11:17as a way to earn some money with a comedy movie.
11:20It's as if the purpose of the movie
11:23were to push all the religious sensitivity buttons
11:26until they reach the breaking point.
11:28To begin with, in the United Kingdom,
11:31some councils went as far as banning the film
11:33because they were worried it might provoke more blasphemies.
11:36In Ireland, it was so controversial
11:38that the Irish censor thought it was like
11:40spitting in the Holy Grail.
11:41In the United States, it was not banned nationwide,
11:45but local groups frequently attacked it
11:47because they felt it marked their faith
11:48in a way that didn't quite fit their idea
11:51of a good Christian story.
11:53American Sniper
11:54If you have a movie made by an American,
11:57starring an American,
11:58and talking about an American
12:00fighting for American freedom in the Middle East,
12:03it is normal for it to spark some controversy
12:05in places that do not appreciate
12:07the United States too much.
12:08The movie was very controversial
12:10in several Middle Eastern countries
12:11due to its warlike perspective
12:13and its portrayal of heroes and villains.
12:15While some applauded the American patriotic approach,
12:19others saw something very different.
12:21A view so one-sided,
12:23it almost seemed like a comic
12:24where Middle Eastern soldiers
12:26couldn't be more evil,
12:27and the American Sniper,
12:29a flawless man.
12:31But the movie also delves
12:33into the heart of the Middle East conflict.
12:35If you are used to swallowing
12:37what Western media feeds you daily,
12:39you will find nothing wrong
12:40with this movie and its storyline.
12:43However, the countries and people
12:45who have been harmed
12:46by the conflicts in the Middle East
12:48in which the United States has been involved,
12:51they were not satisfied
12:52with how the film portrayed
12:54the military actions
12:56and political issues.
12:58It's like a comic book
12:59where the heroes can't do anything wrong,
13:02while the villains,
13:03like the soldiers from the Middle East,
13:05are evil to the core.
13:07It was also banned by other countries
13:09that were not offended
13:10by the depiction of the war
13:12because they thought
13:13it could cause local tensions
13:15between those who had opposing views
13:17about the film.
