Kingsman (a movie) banned in Cambodia over 'negative portrayal'

[geovalin]

Cambodia has banned Hollywood movie Kingsman: The Golden Circle over its alleged negative portrayal of the kingdom.

The decision was made last week on the grounds that the blockbuster was unacceptable for local audiences.

 

Authorities say the movie uses "Cambodian land as the place where the terrorists stay and make trouble for the world". Meanwhile, the local distribution company called the decision "childish".

Have just seen the film and Cambodia is mentioned as a hideout but there are no shots of Cambodian territory at all.  Stupid decision

Cambodia, Laos, Thailand these are all stupid countries because the top people are stupid, those below have to follow suit, they keep you in line. If you step out of the line you will be punish. They cannot distinguish reality and movies anymore.

Sen is a weak minded despot, who is desperately clinging to power. He enjoys the tremendous wealth he acquires, from suppressing his people, stealing a lot of land, stifling political opposition, and continuing to pose as a democratic leader, with the full sanction of the entire Western world, who absolutely refuse to condemn his actions. He is a monster. A freak. A man without a nanogram of kindness, love, or compassion in his tiny, shriveled up, black heart. A multi billionaire, who robs, maims, imprisons, and kills at will. Has Thailand ever uttered one word of condemnation toward this super freak? No. Of course not. No moral authority within the entire nation, at this moment in time.
