In Reply to: Why Othello is controversial. posted by Remiel on August 31, 2001 at 22:54:06:
Ebert (the tubby bitch himself) said that this is a movie all teens should see, but like another great flick Requiem for a Dream, teens can't because it's....SURVEY SAYS...rated R/18A. And that sucks.
: Othello is controversial because teens are playing the roles of the characters. Since it is a tragedy, some teens will be killed. Everyone just doesn't want this film to relate to another Columbine situation. If all the actors were adults, then there would be no controversy.
