UK censor’s list of objectionable moments from Animal. SPOILERS!!

This is from the UK censor board’s own website. This is an extremely violent film which makes the fact that samosas are salivating over it kind of worrisome 👀. I can only hope that there’s no glorification of any of these acts of violence, or their perpetrators. But remembering some of Vanga’s words after Kabir Singh, who even knows. Ideally though the movie will actually delve into the psyche of each character and how they reached the points that they reached. Sort of like a movie version of Criminal Minds but from the criminal’s perspective. But again, Vanga.

How has Indian censor board approved this? I thought they were extremely strict about what they would allow to play in Indian theaters.

Takes the gun to school ?

WOW. I was planning to watch it anyway due to Ranbir's acting. I loved Vastav and thought it'd be on similar line. But this one looks intense. I watched the webseries You. Will I be able to take this movie ?

Probably inspired by American gun culture.

How depressing for us 💔

I do wonder if that part will be edited out in American theaters?

A lot of it is disturbing and uncomfortable to read.

But if the film if indeed good, a lot of this might make become palatable to watch, If the film is bad, it will self-sabotage.

I will still watch the film, even though I do not support or enjoy violence.

And in case I don't like the film for what it is, I for sure won't be indulging in mindless debates with people who love the glorification of such stuff, because there would be no point.

That's why, I hope people who are uncomfortable with this stuff do not start a "boycott movement", because this is precisely what Vanga and his followers want. They want to rile up the audience so that there is outrage and they can intimidate and make fun of people.

I literally read somewhere where someone wrote, "It will be fun to watch how feminists react to this film."

Just ignore the film if you're uncomfortable or stay silent if you do not like the film.

So that bully, intimidate and make fun of people. I literally read somewhere where someone wrote, "It will be fun to watch how feminists react to this film."

First bold: to a large extent yes I agree. If the movie is bad it will crash and end itself. But I don’t necessarily think the movie working means it’s a good movie. Unfortunately violence on screen can peak people’s curiosity and attract more footfalls into the theaters. I haven’t seen Kabir Singh but was it really a good movie? Or did the idea of a man wanting full control over his partner appeal to a certain demographic?

Second bold: disagree with this. I’m already seeing tweets praising that screen shot of Ranbir choking Rashmika. One actually said every man should do this if his wife says anything against his parents. Rape culture and violence against women is rampant in society. If this movie is not showing it for what it actually is, a despicable and heinous crime, it’s just opening the door for more brazen and disturbing display of toxic and violent masculinity. By no means am I saying the movie and its makers are responsible for all individuals crimes. But glorifying crimes against women doesn’t do society any favors.

I'm starting to have doubts about watching this now

Venga is crazy

Revenge m bnaya ha movie

There was backlash on Kabir Singh too which was justified to an extent, but a lot of it was just blind hate.

The outrage only benefited the film in the end, because many people then decided to watch the film to prove a point.

If you ask me, Kabir Singh, was a good movie on technical fronts (i.e, acting, cinematography, music etc) and it was a very engaging film.

But I am not blind either. The film had a very strong visual grammar of glorification of toxic masculanity. Die-hard fans will always disagree and defend the film, but a lot of neutral folks saw the problematic parts for what it was (and realized that they are bad parts), and yet enjoyed the good parts of the film.

By staying silent, I meant people should not divert and unnecessarily take things out of context, because this is exactly what the director wants. He thrives on the fact that he is able to rile up the audience.

Over-glorification of violence (if there is) will sabotage the film on its own. There is a big neutral audience, that can see through Vanga's tactics.

There is no need to preach and tell people what is right and what is wrong.

Vanga is not that good of a director to handle these things. I feel he made this movie just for shock value and to anger people again.
