We need to bring back the Hays Code. Modern films are degenerate trash

Had the same thought yesterday.

>>219136848
Watching old films it's obvious you don't NEED to show gratuitous sex or have excessive profanity or extreme violence to make a good film

You cannot will something like the code into existance. It is a product of a society that values decency, beauty, and restraint. You must build that first in your heart, in your family, and in your neighborhood.>>219136848

this. Society in the 40's and 50's wouldn't tolerate NOT having a Hays code. Today, everything tends towards deprevaty, indulgence, and degeneracy. We've lost all style, skill, forethought, discretion of the heart, passion in the art, and craft.

Boomer hippies ruined society. Film in the 70's popularized filth. We had a brief period in the late 80's and 90's with a resurgance but now it's back to a bleak state. I mostly blame streaming services.

>>219136797
Weird how you on one hand whine about censorship and how there is no tits and nudity and then demand heavyhanded censorship that includes forced morality tale endings that are not at all realistic
>>
>>219137918
>It is a product of a society that values decency, beauty, and restraint.

The production code was literally due to fear of state censorship. It’s hilarious how you could publish books with all kinds of controversial content but if you adapted it as a movie suddenly you had to rewrite the entire thing to sanitise and butcher it to satisfy censors

Watch more pre-code films and realize how much potential kino we lost. And recall that the code came in part in response to the false accusations against Fatty Arbuckle, the metoo hysteria of its day. The informal censorship across Hollywood in the last decade might as well be the new code.
>>
>no restrictions on anything sexual in media, they could release explicitly sexual movies without any controversy

>instead of theaters having wholesome NC-17 vanilla straight porn like Debbie Does Dallas, what they produce now is somehow both degenerate and subversive while also being chaste and devoid of titillation

Hays code was based
when there was no degeneracy film. no vile trash. no nude scenes. no scenes of adultery. no scenes of vulgarity. no swear words. no immoral cinema.
just pure wholesome cinema for people to enjoy
>>
>>219138385
Film and literature are two totally different mediums of expression anon. It's not about what is being depicted, it is about what effect it might have on audiences. Books are like a walk in a park; serene, slow, gentle and films are like crack cocaine
>>
>>219138249
>I mostly blame streaming services.
Streaming services just continued what the DVD market was already doing. Films like American Pie, Road trip, Superbad and raunchy films were all made because shit like this sold shit tons of DVDs. It didn't matter if the films didn't last in the cinema and many films didn't go to the cinema. They went straight to DVD.

The Hays Code was gay as hell and art should not have such restrictions placed on it. Go to Saudi Arabia or something rather than try and chudify the West

It's far too late. With the advent of cameraphones the means of media production and distribution are far too accessible. If the US ever re-enacted something like the code you'd just see an uptick in Americans watching independent productions that choose not to adhere (some probably flagrantly).

Pre-Hays code films were pretty wild. Lots of graphic violence and even some nudity here and there. Damn, I love looking at some 1920s titties now and then. Girls on film back then were slim and young and had pretty high tight ones.

You can have lots of degeneracy even with Hays Code censorship. Hitchcock's films had peeping toms, whores, willing cuckolds, flamboyant homosexuals, a cross-dressing serial killer, and so on.

What happened to this fucking place? To the internet? And don't tell me this is "counterculture", anti-pornography laws are being voted in by some of the most popular candidates ever in major countries and in U.S. states. And for what? Fucking what? The problems facing us are brown people spreading, and jewish companies strangling us, not some guy getting his rocks off to some fetish shit he made. You let the fucking retard puritans brainwash you into doing what they want and fighting their straw spooks while the real problems fester like an infected wound. Hell, you probably think brown people are "based" if they say they hate jews and go to church.

You will never leave the city and if "the revolution came" you would starve due to the interruption of your neetbux.

The HC went a bit far but only a bit.

>Modern films are degenerate trash
True, but this is not (mostly) because of explicit sex etc. It's to do with the trash worldview they propagate.


The main argument against explicit sex onscreen is that it ruins the film. It's not even that sexy, usually.

anti-porn has always been this strange phenomenon of bipartisan agreement where two completely disparate groups agree porn should be banned completely, just for different reasons, but neither side cares about the other's reasons.

today its being pushed for data gathering purposes. They want a catalog of your preferred porn in your instantly accessible online profile.

Anyway, sex is not the only thing I think there's too much of in film. The excessive profanity, the other suggestive themes. It's all rotten, not just the unnecessary and unwanted sex scenes
