Superman Kissing Scene Cut, Does it Go Too Far?? 😐

Apparently, India has removed a kissing scene from the upcoming Superman (2025) movie, deeming it "too sexual." The person who shared it was a mother with a lesbian daughter, who actually agreed with the cut. Her argument was, "Why would James Gunn push his heterosexual agenda in a kids' movie? How am I supposed to explain to my lesbian daughter why a man would do that with a woman?" Now, I can see the perspective there – it makes you pause and consider what kind of messaging we expect in family films. However, it also immediately made me wonder: where do we draw the line? Is removing content, even if some find it problematic, a step towards censorship or limiting creative expression? And what exactly defines "pushing a heterosexual agenda" in a film that typically features heterosexual relationships? What are your thoughts on this 👀 #Superman #MovieCensorship #FreeSpeech #Representation #HeterosexualIdentity #JamesGunn #FilmDebate #Parenting #Movies

Debate｜Should Biopics That Lie Be Called Out?

Let’s be real—most of us watch biopics to learn something about a person or a major event. Even if it’s dramatized a bit, we still assume the core story is true, right? But what if it’s not? Take Hotel Rwanda. It made Paul Rusesabagina look like Africa’s Schindler—a hero who saved lives during genocide. But later, survivors accused him of extortion, and he was even sentenced for terrorism-related charges (later released). Turns out, many people in that hotel were hostages caught in political negotiation—not saved because of his bravery. So… If a “true story” movie twists facts that much, does it still deserve to be called a biopic? And if the audience only felt moved because they were misled—is that emotion even real? Have you seen any other “based on true events” films that turned out to be totally off? Drop the names 👇 #Entertainment #movie #filmdebate #biopic #historyvsdrama #HotelRwanda #moviethoughts
