According to the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia, they were not too happy with a scene from the Beauty and the Beast as it had characteristics of a gay character in the film. Despite receiving so many complaints by the people in Malaysia, the answer we received has been a huge disappointment. The movie was supposed to be premiered on the 16th of March in Malaysia, but I personally noticed that most of the cinemas have removed the posters from their wall. LET IT NOT BE TRUE! (Adds cry face here)
To my discovery, this 'gay' character that the film censorship Board of Malaysia claims is gay has nothing too obscene to be showed in cinemas (I was thinking if they had a naked scene or something, LOL). After watching a short clip on youtube of Disney's first exclusive gay scene, I think the character was rather confused, but at the end, he realised to to have some feelings towards Gaston. Below would be a video I found on youtube that was acted by Josh Gad as LeFou. Comments? I'll let you decide.
Ah, actually first Disney did an 'internal' review because the director mentioned an exclusive gay moment in the movie. LPF then informed that the gay scene needs to be cut hence the 'minor' cut. Disney is now saying no to the cut. IMHO, there is never a 'ban', just them passing the ball around. But yeah, likely not showing in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteI am confused now whether the movie is on or off... haisshhh... so weird
ReplyDeleteBefore this movie, I remember that Disney cartoon movie also have a funny guy who crazy about him while he drink beer too much, but he also act as very stupid. I don't care. Disney get to show that the main characters; a prince and princess fall love each other, so it is ok la Why they complained about the guys looks like girly? lol
ReplyDeletei look forward this movie so much ! but now i think only can watch in sg
ReplyDeleteObviously Disney not going to pay under table for their show in public. So they trying their luck to push it thru.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll have to watch it Singapore la
