Banning controversial movies

[Resolution]

Do you think it's right when countries ban controversial movies so people are not allowed to watch them in a country? I don't mean censorship in the sense that it goes against a countries beliefs or anything, but just movies that are so offensive or gory that a country has refused to age rate it.

I know that this has happened a couple of times for some movies. Such as the UK banned the Manhunt movie that I think was based off the game with the same name. Apparently it was so gratuitously violent that the film board refused to rate it. Do you have any other examples?

No, most of the time it won't solve the problem and just makes people mad. Censorship never saves it just ruins.

I think that by banning things it just makes people more determined to go against the main grain to find the thing that's banned in a more illegal way. I don't personally have any examples of this that I know of but I think that it is something which isn't going to be beneficial to the countries which do it.

Banning a movie is pointless in my opinion because it's just like anything else. If you tell someone to not do something then they'll just want to do that one thing. Banning a movie will just make people view it under other means and pirate it. Unless something is illegal I don't think it should be banned.
