Seconds into
its first screenings in China, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained
was abruptly pulled from cinemas on Thursday. It would have been the
first time a Tarantino movie was given an officially sanctioned release
in the country.
In the words of Movie theater operators in China they said:
The film was pulled for "technical reasons."
"We got the notice from our
headquarters around 10:00am this morning but it was too late to cancel
two viewings," an official from a Shanghai theater told Reuters.
"We were only told that it was
due to some technology problems and were told to cancel it. They didn't
tell us when the film would be shown again."
Various cinemagoers who attended
the abruptly suspended screenings wrote on Weibo that the film had just
begun to roll when it was stopped and they were told to exit the
theater.
China's State Administration of
Radio, Film, and Television (SARFT) pre-screens and censors all films
that are show in the country's cinemas. Many China-watchers had hailed
the approval of Django for Chinese exhibition as a sign of increased
tolerance in the country.
Tarantino is said to have made
limited changes to the film to get State approval for the Chinese
release, including muting the color of blood in its many violent
sequences.
Though, The Chinese press has quoted several unnamed industry insiders
as saying the film was held up because of its brief nude scenes.
Interesting info about the movie great celebrity, but now to replace this movie came other movies, for example, a very worthy film Operation Chromite, which can be viewed online for example, on the website http://putlockers.video/ . The film tells the story of A squad of soldiers fight in the Korean War's crucial Battle of Incheon.
