Don't go to see Wolf of Wall Street in Dubai......
it is cut to shreds, all the dirty bits have been removed (boo) and most of the swearing, there was more than one occasion that it would be cut in the middle of a scene and restart in the middle of another scene.
I complained about it and was told that 30 minutes have been cut out to keep the censors happy, when I told them that it made the film nigh on unwatchable I got a complimentary ticket by way of apology - I was told that if I had walked out halfway through I would have got my money back but because I stayed to the bitter end they wouldn't give anything back |
Re: Don't go to see Wolf of Wall Street in Dubai......
cut by 45 mins actually according to the National.
http://www.thenational.ae/uae/the-wo...-profane-movie I watched it last night (downloaded) and thought that it was an excellent film. I agree that it would lose a lot of its punch if cut so dramatically. |
Re: Don't go to see Wolf of Wall Street in Dubai......
It was excellent, really good, but considering it is the film with the second most use of the word f### (over 500 times!) that made for a hell of a lot of silent moments

Frankly I am amazed that anyone would bother going to see a film like that at a cinema here. Surely everyone knows films are censored?

Is the scene where he's trying to drive a Ferrari whilst loaded on Quaaludes censored too?

Films are bad enough, but I was watching man v's food on Fox last at a friends and they cut the word "Ham" out. Funny in a half hour program about Ham! Nuts

Even the word was wiped out and always bleeped. Hilarious. |

It's not only the censorship though, it's the way certain people behave in cinemas here too - talking (loudly), either to each other or on their phone, constantly getting up and down, kids running around etc.

I cannot understand how anyone would go to a Middle Eastern cinema to watch any movie with their censorship laws.

It's common sense on as to going to see films, it is generally fairly obvious what is cut - gratuitous violence is fine. |
