Seems the poster for the film has been banned by the MPAA. Judge for yourself…
Seems pretty tame compared to this. Or this. Or this. (Warning: Graphic!) As long as the violence is fantasy, we don’t have a problem with it. It’s entertainment meant to frighten us, but unreal. We can forget about it after it’s over. Real violence though, that is upsetting. We want to brush it under the carpet. Not deal with it. Forget it ever happened. It’s certainly not entertaining. It’s real.
The decision by the MPAA is entirely political. The Road to Guantanamo is based upon a true story, so any depictions in the posters are, of course, reflections of reality. And, that bothers some people.
Here’s the preview. Go see the film.
