China Bans Time-Travel Movies
08 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone in Crime, Culture, Politics, Quality Humour, Vibe, World
Well this is probably just the cherry on the big ol’ authoritarian cake they got going on over there, but hot damn. All the best movies had time travel in them. Never mind the fact that now a generation of Chinese kids won’t spend every waking moment waiting for their future selves to arrive in a DeLorean.
Says the Television Director Committee:
“The time-travel drama is becoming a hot theme for TV and films. But its content and the exaggerated performance style are questionable. Many stories are totally made-up and are made to strain for an effect of novelty. The producers and writers are treating the serious history in a frivolous way, which should by no means be encouraged anymore.”
I’m too outraged to make jokes along the lines of “I guess that genre has run out of…time,” so please go back to the past and remind me to think of something.
