Different rules in different country

Channel of hbo has the logo of “not suit to children”
films’censorship is the strictest one in china
Lots of rules restrict the directors
The government’s mind -first position
Summary
The film censorship system is running in china now.it carries out lots of problems to not only the audiences but also the directors. it makes the films suit to all-age.people can’t see the original movie ,the directors can’t shoot the films as they want.they need to care about the rules all the time. it’s horrible to directors to satisfy the requirements of different audiences ,i think it’s the best opportinuty to have the film classification in china

PLAN:
Does china need film classification?
Introduction
Situation of china’s film system-no film classification but the censorship system
Compare with other countries in the world-it’s the basic system in the world
My opinion is we should establish the movie-grading system as soon as possible
Main part
Definition of film classification
Describe the situation of china’s film censorship system and point out the weakness
Weakness: director need to consider a lot about the rules of the censorship before begin to shoot,
directors are required to delete some specific plot although it spend them lots amount of money and time
The decision all made by government not by audience
Advantage of movie-grading
Cancel the restrict to the director，they are freely to shoot the film they want. show anything they want
Audience can watch the whole movie instead of the one which had cut lots of plot
Let Chinese films be brought in line with international practice and enlarge the international market
Good for childhood’s education .definitely grading not allowed children to see anything they are shouldn’t see
Arguement
it's hard to not allow children enter the cinema

lots of sex violence movies will come out immediately
Conclusion

With the beginning of movie-grading ,the boundary of adult &under age will easily comes out. as we all know, adults have different kinds of requirements, the films beneficial to all ages can’t satisfy the requirements of different kinds of people。With the high speed development of the modern socity,film classification must be carry out in the future. we are looking forward to see it soon!
