Forbidden Images (higher resolution) (via CineGraphic) (via @sandysandy)
The short was made as a comment on how current censorship will look to future generations. It is a series of scenes cut from old films because they didn’t “meet the local moral standards of the time”.
I can understand why some of these scenes were cut. There was a time when bare ankles and shoulders were considered risque and suggestive. For some, it still is.
Silhouettes teased the imagination and eroticism was about what you weren’t able to see as much as it was what you did.
But aside from the query about whether future generations will think what we censor is ridiculous, I have to wonder if it can also be construed as a comment on how crass and overt modern society has become.
