"The fewer cuts the better. But if the movie is crossing certain lines, I think there should be some adjustments. But these changes shouldn’t be allowed to affect the story line. A better solution would be to have a movie rating system to replace the current setup. "
That strikes a chord with one local movie expert, who says standards for the current system are not clear.
Prof. Liu Haibo, Shanghai University, said:"Decisions are usually made based on the censors’ personal experience and standards. And those are people from all walks of life, which means that not each one of them is professional in terms of looking at the film in an artistic way. In fact, many films that have passed the checks are still not suitable for youngsters. "
Zhang Ningben, Shanghai, said:"Liu says there may be a proposal at this year’s National People’s Congress to open the market further to both foreign and domestic films and film makers.
