Thursday, January 24, 2013

Chinese authorities cut down almost a quarter of the US epic movie Cloud Atlas starring Tom Hanks. The authorities are said to delete some scenes saying that they showed nudity and some weakened the plot, and ultimately confuse the audience. Based on the David Mitchell novel, the film interweaves six story lines spanning several centuries, from “an 1849 diary of an ocean voyage across the Pacific" to "a rebellious clone in futuristic Korea”, according to the movie website IMDb
