In Britain censorship of videos is much stricter than in many other European countries. And it might be even stricter in future, especially with violent. Soon, it may be difficult to hire films like Reservoir Dogs on video in Britain. Film censors are worried that young people might copy screen violence.

In England last year, a ten-year-old and eleven-year-old killed two-year-old boy. Many people blamed a famous horror film. The two boys copied many of the violent scenes in the film when they attacked their victim.

A recent investigation showed that many young, violent criminals watch violent films. However, this does not mean that there is a definite connection. Millions of other people also watch them, but not perform violent crimes.

In the USA, a boy dropped a bowling ball from a bridge onto cars on motorway and killed someone after he saw it on “Beavis and Butt-Head”. A mother blamed this programme when her son started a fire, which killed his sister. But don’t young people know the difference between reality and fiction? The producers of the programme say that the audience know that the two characters are “crazy”, but prefer “Beavis and Butt-Head” to cartoons with moral messages because they are original and funny.

Countries vary in their opinion of video violence. Spain and Portugal have almost no limitations for the cinema or video. France has no limitations for videos.

In England “Die Hard 2” was a certificate 15 but the film censors cut out the most violent scenes. In France, there was no age limitation and it was possible to see the entire film.

Many film producers believe that too much censorship might destroy the film industry. What do you think?
