I just learned about the censorship of this film from “SARAKADEE” magazine. It was banned because it concerns homosexuality. But fortunately, and absurdly, the censorship board does not control the Thai television broadcast, so this film was shown in Thai cable TV. This is an interesting thing in Thailand: some films are banned from showing in theatres, but are allowed to be shown to Thai TV audience in every age group.


3.TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU (1999, GIL JUNGER)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/
The rumour said that this film was banned in theatres because the Thai censors don’t like some relationships between students and teachers in this film, but this film was allowed to be shown on Thai television. Hahaha.


4.RUN LOLA RUN (TOM TYKWER, A+)
I think it was banned because the leading male protagonist deals drugs.


5.BLOW (2001, TED DEMME)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0221027/
The same reason as the above.


6.MOONLIGHT (2002, PAULA VAN DER OEST)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245294/
The Thai censorship board doesn’t like some behaviors of children in this film.


7.FRAILTY (2001, BILL PAXTON, A-)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264616/


8.FRIVOLOUS LOLA (1998, TINTO BRASS)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0174931/
I’m not sure about the banning of this film, but this film was promoted that it would be shown in Thailand, and then it disappeared without a trace.


I’m still waiting to see LITTLE CHILDREN (2006, TODD FIELD), and I hope that the behaviors of the characters in this film don’t resemble the behaviors of the Thai censors’ parents, because it seems that whenever the behaviors in any films resemble the behaviors of the Thai censors’ mums or dads, those films will be banned in Thailand.
