Disclaimer:Some content is a little bit inappropirate
So,you know how some Films get a 18+ Rating,right?
Well if who is doing the rating thinks its way too much for that,it becomes indexed and if the Film's content is considered as against the Law,it gets banned.Now,this wont be about the bans,considering the title.
First off,the rating system in the Us and The german Ratign System to make this easier to understand
Old US:
G(Any age)
PG(Some cotent needs parental guidance)
R(16+,i think,but could have been 17)
X(Not suitable for minors)
Now,due to incompetent parents,the system was considered as this:
G(Babbys)
PG(Kids)
R(Teens)
X(Adults)
and thats why PG-13 was made
now,the german rating System,and which actual US rating is closest
FSK 0/FSK 6 (G)
FSK 12 (PG)
FSK 16 (PG-13)
FSK 18 (R)
Indexed (X)
Now the stupid part:Films usually get indexed when being harmful to minors,BUT most ilms would have gotten a 18+ rating,if they wouldnt have been indexed
If its indexed,you can only sell it under the counter if the boss doesnt get wind of it
So,now that this is over,ill go into details about indexed films
Bad Taste(1987)/Evil Dead II(1987)/Braindead(1992)
All three films are indexed due to being "Pro Violence" Propaganda.
Why you ask?
Well,the FSK here sees Humor coming from overexagerated violence as "Pro Violence Propagand"
Now,guess why Star Ship Troopers got indexed,youll never guess it
The high Violence in some scenses?no
Its conisdered Pro Militairy Propagnda?Right Answer!
Sam Raimis's Evil Dead also is indexed due to the unrealistic violence being considered pro Violence propganda
Something you propably didnt know:Stephen king went into the Law Suit for banning it to defend Sam Raimi!
The law suit kinda was sucessfu considering its only on the index
Now,something i realised is,the German system seems to close one eye when it comes to sexual content,while its with violence for the us rating system.The US rating system seems to be more sensitive to sexual content,while the german is more sensitive to violence
Now,heres a part that i isnt me complain about the ridicolously HIGH ratings
Films like Hellraiser,Videodrome and Friday the 13th are rated 12+ in France,which is kinda messed up imo
All these films have a r rating in the us which and are indexed here,im not too happy about them being indexed,but its far more suitable then giving it a 12+
Also I promise,if the uncut version of Braindead gets removed from the index,ill run around germany halfnaked with a lawnmower strapped to me
The Next One will be about DVD Menus
