New ratings, same old censorship By Lt-Colonel Wanchana Sawatdee Actor
I
’m making a stand against the new film act as I disagree with a law that combines a rating system and censorship. We should have the same movie rating as other countries. I think that film-makers should have their freedom of expression protected. The government must ask whether they want [movies] to show what they prefer us to see, or to reveal the truth. Movies shouldn’t take the sole blame for a deteriorating society – there are other factors that contribute. We should face reality rather than play the blame game.
