Films always have the ability to anger us, divide us, shock us, disgust us, and more. Usually, films that inspire controversy, outright boycotting, picketing, banning, censorship, or protest contain content that includes graphic sex, violence, homosexuality, religious, political or race-related themes. They usually push the envelope regarding what can be filmed and displayed on the screen, and are considered taboo, "immoral" or "obscene" due to language, drug use, violence and sensuality/nudity or other incendiary elements. 'Controversial' films have always been considered a threat to mainstream, traditional (or decent) community standards. Inevitably though, controversy helped to publicize these films and fueled the box-office receipts. >> See article: The 100+ Most Controversial Films of All-Time |
