Censor changed the ending of “Minions” animation
Social media users announced that the ending of the new animated film “Minions: Rise of the Gru” has been changed for the domestic release in this country.
Charso Press: Censoring and making changes to the new episode of the animated series “Minions” is another example of Chinese authorities trying to censor a popular Hollywood film to make it politically suitable for release in China, an event that has been accompanied by a backlash from audiences on Chinese social networks.
In the version of the animation “Minions: Rise of the Guru” that was released in China, an appendix was added to the end of the film, according to which “Wild Knuckles”, the main character of the film, is arrested by the police and spends 20 years in prison, and his accomplice character is “Gro” also returns to the family and continues to live with his three children.
Meanwhile, in the international version of this animation, “Gro” and “Wide Knuckles”, the two anti-heroes of the story, escape together after the fake death of “Wide Knuckles”.
An online film review site in China with 14.4 million followers noted that the Chinese version of the film was a minute longer than the international version and questioned why the extra minute was needed, adding: “This It is only us who need special guidance and care for fear that a caricature will lead us to corruption.”
China has set quotas on the number of foreign films that can be shown in the country’s cinemas, and many Hollywood films shown in the country have had certain scenes removed or changed.
Last year, the Chinese audience of the 1999 movie “Boxing Club” starring “Brad Pitt” and “Edward Norton” realized that in the ending of the original version, the protagonist and his imaginary twin blow up a series of skyscrapers, but There is no such thing in the Chinese version.
