SAW VI X MOVIE

[Baraka]

I'm really angry....mad as hell, to be more specific...I'll explain myself:

As you can see on my awful english, I'm spanish. Well, here, in Spain, our loved Ministry of Culture gave SAW VI an X rating. Yes. For that masterminds Saw VI (and only this one) is a pornographic movie.
This implies the movie can only be exhibited in 8 theatres (I didn't know there were only 8 x rated cinemas in spain), and some of that 8 theatres can't exhibit the movie because the machines (that machine to put the movie....sorry, i don't know it's name in english: proyector) are too old for the format the movie is filmed in. Fearing the large loss of money, the producer has stopped the opening of saw VI in Spain. Also any marketing is forbidden, and people under 18 is BANNED, alone or with an adult.

And my question is: What the hell are they thinking? Why an x rating? They say Saw makes "Violence apology"....WHAT? and the other 5?. Extreme violence....What about HOSTEL, dear Minister?. Too much blood: BRAINDEAD had no problems in Spain, for God's sake.
Let's talk about apology: the Minister of culture (the same bitch has given a horror movie an X) wrote the script of "Mentiras y gordas" (big fat lies), a movie basically about teenagers having sex and snorting cocaine. No argument, no lessons. Teenage unprotected sex is funny and drugs are cool. Great movie for 15 years old boys and girls (they were the target public).

In Spain we had decades of fighting against the rest of the world seeing us as an untracatholic conservative country. Keep on trying, Ministry of Culture. You are doing really fine.

...and you couldn't post this in the Saw VI thread why?

I think I'll move this to the rant forum. :)

I thought that SAW X would be rated X.

I wish this awful abortion of a movie wasn't playing anywhere near me, but alas, it is.
I'd count my blessings, if I were you, good sir...

You guys can make cute "OMG U R LUKY CUZ SAW SUX" jokes, but his rant is actually a quite valid statement on how people feel when they are censored by their governments...

Saw VI wasn't that bad as to warrant an 18+ age group. I thought it was actually a pretty good movie, better than the last few entries in the series anyway.

Can anyone explain what "Violence Apology" means?

I snuck in after a saw something else and watched the last ten minutes, i would say from what i witnessed an 18 rating is appropriate, even though i feel the whole rating system is a joke and should be done away with, going by the standards of the Mpaa, this film is pretty damn brutal.

And oh no, i enjoyed what i watched, this series, no matter how much i put it down, does have a certain mesmerizing appeal because of the level of brutality on display.

It may appear that i'm being hippocritical, but seriously Saw fatigue sets in eventually, that's why it didn't make as much as the others( plus people wanted something different this Hween), but it certainly looks interesting, i will have to see the entire film now

if you thought the last 10 minutes were brutal you should see the first 10.

a kid who had to be about 9 and his dad sat down next to me right as Saw 6 was about to start. i mean, my dad took me to some shit when I was young but nothing like the Saw movies.
