Love, Simon Was Age-Restricted In Singapore Because Of LGBT Themes

Love, Simon Was Age-Restricted In Singapore Because Of LGBT Themes

There is an argument to be made that the United States' greatest export is culture. The music, TV shows, video games, internet platforms and movies made here are enjoyed by people all around the world. Yet, as is often the case when cultures clash, different values systems, cultural norms and beliefs can result in things being received differently in different parts of the world. Such is the case with Greg Berlanti's film Love, Simon, which has been restricted in Singapore to viewers over 21 because of its LGBT themes. The official classification of the film states:

The film is rated R21 with an advisory of "Homosexual Theme". The central theme of the film revolves around a homosexual character coming to terms with his identity as a homosexual and his attempts to gain acceptance from his family and friends. The theme of homosexuality, therefore, forms the main narrative of the film as the protagonist is portrayed to overcome his fear of being rejected as a gay male

It is this theme identified by the Singapore's Media Development Authority in its official statement that garnered Love, Simon an R21 rating, meaning only those above the age of 21 can seen it. These themes are allowed to be explored under the R21 rating, it just limits how many people in Singapore can see it. This is far from surprising considering that under Singapore law, sexual acts between two males are illegal, punishable by up to two years in prison. With that in mind, the message of Love, Simon seems to be at odds with the official stance on homosexuality in the country. The film is saying its okay to be who you are, while the official laws say something much different, although those laws aren't heavily enforced.

Love, Simon is rated PG-13 in America, and it would appear that many people stateside have issues with Singapore's restriction on the film. There is even a Change.org petition to have the film reclassified to NC16, or no children under 16 admitted. There are probably plenty of countries where a film like Love, Simon would have been outright banned though, so the fact that it is accessible to some of the population is encouraging. However, the argument is that a restricted rating like R21 prevents the film from being seen by those who are most in need of hearing its message, mainly teenagers. At that impressionable time in a person's life where they are discovering who they are, a film such as Love, Simon might provide comfort and affirmation that they desperately need. A change to an NC16 rating in Singapore would allow those in their formative years to see the film and its message.

Love, Simon has received pretty positive reviews since its release, and the coming of age romantic drama currently sits at 92% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Some Hollywood stars like Neil Patrick Harris and Kristen Bell even bought out screenings so others can see the film. As for Singapore, attitudes may be changing, but change is rarely fast or easy. Exposure is the first step to understanding, and even if Love, Simon is restricted, there are still audiences in the country who will be able to see it, and maybe in time, that will help change bigger things like policy. Love, Simon is currently in theaters. For everything else hitting this year, check out our release schedule.

This was not the case for Steve Carell in the making of Welcome To Marwen, however.

"Well, I know that some people want to see that. There are people who'd like to see Rey and Kylo get it on.

Ryan Reynolds Shares Hilarious Once Upon A Deadpool Image And Home Release Date

Ryan Reynolds Shares Hilarious Once Upon A Deadpool Image And Home Release Date

Nobody was quite sure what to expect when the R-rated superhero Deadpool made the jump into the world of PG-13 cinema. While Once Upon A Deadpool was an interesting experiment, the film's limited theatrical release means that we also won't be waiting long for the cleaner version of Deadpool 2 to arrive on Blu-Ray. Accompanying the announcement that Once Upon A Deadpool will be available on Blu-ray and Digital HD January 15, came a fantastic image from Ryan Reynolds that turns the tables on who's telling who a bedtime story.

The framing device of Once Upon A Deadpool is borrowed from the classic A Princess Bride and sees Deadpool kidnap an adult Fred Savage in order to force him to listen to a sanitized version of Deadpool 2. Ryan Reynolds shared an image from the set via Instagram that sees the book now in Savage's hands, with an adorable Deadpool curled up on his lap to hear the tale.

It's a much nicer storytime than what we get in the film, where Fred Savage is taped to the bed so that he's unable to leave.

Once Upon a Deadpool only made about $6 million in its theatrical release, but that's somewhat to be expected considering that it was ultimately just a re-edited version of Deadpool 2, a movie that had come out only a few months earlier. Still, a portion of ticket sales were donated to the charity Fudge Cancer, and a portion of the sales of Blu-ray will be as well, so if you pick up the disc, you'll be doing some good in the world.

As a proof of concept, Once Upon a Deadpool showed that the Merc with a Mouth doesn't need to use that mouth to swear in order to be funny. At the same time, the movie was clearly re-edited and it felt like it. If the movie had been filmed with a PG-13 rating in mind, it likely would have been just fine, but since they had to make a lot of cuts to make that work here, the movie feels rough with some lines that have been overdubbed about as well as your average in-flight movie.

If your family was the target audience for PG-13 Deadpool, then the ability to own the film so soon will likely be nice. As Ryan Reynolds says in his post, your kids no longer need to ask you permission to watch Once Upon a Deadpool which may get them to stop trying to see the original cut of Deadpool 2 behind your back.

Although, now I have to wonder what it would be like if you actually saw Once Upon a Deadpool first. A few years down the road, an older teen can watch the original version of Deadpool 2 and see everything they missed. That would probably be a pretty interesting experience.

As to the answer whether I was too glittery-eyed to see Pym in the movie scene: yes but not so much because I got no favoritism to any Marvel characters.
