F-Bombs abound
Leonardo Dicaprio's new film, The Wolf of Wall Street, has 506 swear words in it. Darren has told us what he thinks about offensive language in movies, and why "language control" sucks.
Is bad language in a movie offensive to you? If the “language” is edited out of the movie does the content still make sense?
Darren told us on the @BreakfastStack about his most excruciating movie watching experience.
“I tried to watch this movie in a Hotel where they naturally had it on language control. One tries to figure out what they are saying when the "language" is edited out but it is so difficult because every second line contains an offensive word so I have difficulty following the narrative."
"When watching a movie at home, I consider my five year old daughter running around and listening to what I’m watching so I like having the option to change the language and ‘PG it’, but I don’t like it when I’m alone, relaxing and it's automatically decided for me that the movie should be PG."
Watch a short clip of a movie with Al Pacino, Ed Harris, Jack Lemon, Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacy and see if you can make sense of the movie when all offensive language is edited out.
