When Hollywood was Censored (The Hays Code)
Вставка

- My family started Universal Studios, and I make videos about their work and legacy. The Hays Code was a set of motion picture censorship guidelines introduced to the film industry in 1934, and enforced until 1968. Named after Will H. Hays, it enumerated specific guidelines filmmakers were to follow to allow their movies to be screened in theaters. Today, you can tell a lot about a film by knowing if it was made before the code, during the pre-Code era, or during the enforcement of the Code. Film historians disagree on whether film censorship stifled the industry, or sparked creativity, as writers and directors worked to get risqué or controversial topics across to audiences. Though we don't have film censorship anymore, we do have a remnant of that era: the MPA (formerly the MPAA) who created the code, later created the rating system of G, PG, PG-13, R, and NC-17 that we use today.

Well, well, well...look who stepped into the lounge.
Welcome back, AC -- your mere presence improves YT by a thousandfold.
Rosco Arbuckle didn't kill or attack Virginia Rappe, the incident happened in Rosco's suite (He hated the term "Fatty") at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco but he was exonerated. Virginia died of from a ruptured bladder and secondary peritonitis after four days. The person you need to look towards is Bambina Maude Delmont, a convicted criminal who attempted to extort money from him. She never too the stand and it emerged in court that the prosecution had used intimidation to force several witnesses to testify against Rosco Arbuckle. He was tried three times and ended up a broken man. He attempted a comeback but that moment and the trial became an imovable shadow around him. His last day saw him signing a contract with Warner Bros. and celebrating his first wedding anniversary quoted as saying "This is the best day of my life." He died of a heart attack that night in his sleep.
Until recently, I was unaware of that Labor Day Weekend party a hundred years ago in San Francisco, and it is sobering to think that it was exactly a century ago that the aftermath was unfolding in court and in newspapers, and yet, nobody knows or will ever know exactly what happened in that hotel room between Mr. Arbuckle and Ms. Rappe. But it was his party and he was certainly the star attraction among the partygoers, a wildly wealthy Hollywood star there to have a good time with young women in a few hotel rooms for a few days. And he had a couple of buds to enjoy the festivities with him, and they had driven all the way up the coast in his custom car, and it was ultimately a bad trip for them and a deadly party for her.
@@robbchastain3036 Fattywas not even there. He was innocent of all charges. I love how you ignire the evidence and excuse yourself with phrases like "perhapes we may never know" when we know full well. As has been stated Fatty wasthe victim of attempted blackmail and a smear campaign. You probably still want to blame Johnny Depp for the false accusations of Amber Heard.shame on you.
I was about to point that out myself. Arbuckle was innocent. I was starting to like these videos but comments like this make you wonder how much she really knows.
There were actually 2 Supreme Court rulings that contributed to the demise of the Production Code. What you referred to was Burstyn vs Wilson. The other one was US vs Paramount from 1948. The Court ruled that the studios could not also operate theater chains. This monopolistic practice enabled the major studios to prevent unapproved films from independent studios from being shown. The breaking of the stranglehold the studios had on both production and exhibition lead to the end of the Studio System.
Nice 👍 to see you back I enjoy very much watching your Hollywood vintage videos excellent top five star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ job continued success all ways with much healthy happiness
Good to see you again!
Glad to see you back.
I’m kinda glad that the Hay’s Code is abolished, because there is a lot of things that I feel like don’t need to be censored.
Your videos, commentary, and history of these films/Universal is the best.
Yay welcome back!!
Glad to see you back, this was so very interesting,
thank you, Movies were a lot better back then, shame we don't have it today!🎃🎃
Shame we don't have it today? It was puritanism gone crazy. A couple of the many ludicrous examples: No mixed race relationships, can't show a toilet or say the word pregnant. And God forbid anyone said "God forbid", blasphemy was a total no-no. As for whiter-than-white Hays himself, he was found guilty of taking backhanders of over $250000 for helping Harding to get into the Whitehouse (in court he gave 3 different excuses as to how he got the money) and in 1930 he was caught paying backhanders to so called moral leaders who were supposed to give impartial opinions on the purity of films. It was a code for weasels, written by weasels and liars. I was gonna say it's a blessing we don't have it today, but with the rise of Woke cancel-culture it seems to be rearing its ugly head again.
Awesome video!!!!
Hi
I'm Lennox Lämmle, I'm 15 years old and I live in Switzerland, but my grandfather is from Germany. Could it be that we are related.
I love your videos I have 4 siblings and I hope I can come to Hollywood someday.
Another great video!!!
Great video!
Happy New Year 2022! 🎆
The subtitles have multiple errors, and that framed picture behind you is crooked, but I have no complaints about you or your delivery. You provide interesting information, you seem comfortable, and you're not hard on the eyes. Thanks for doing these videos. Your great-granduncle was a wonderful man. Thank you for carrying on his legacy.
Yay! You’re back! 😀
I’m almost never in favor of limiting the creative freedom of an artist so I’m wholeheartedly against the code. I think the ratings system we have now is near perfect as it tells you before you even watch the film what “offensive” material is depicted in it. We still have plenty of wholesome entertainment today that if people want to consume it’s there for them. I think it’s wrong to have to change entertainment moral standards to appease another persons sensitivity. Ive seen plenty of stuff I don’t like out there and find offensive but that is a trade off of living in a country with the freedom of speech.
I think the horror genre in film has pushed itself to its limits of its depiction of sex and violence and would eventually have gotten to the same state it’s currently in with or without the code.
I don't know much about much. This is the 1st time I've paid attention to anything about the Hays Code. To me, it sounds a lot like AA's 12 Steps to Recovery. A code made by well meaning people to help the corrupted get back on the "Righteous Path". That begs the question: Righteous according to who? And, are the viewers of such coded material at risk of being involuntarily indoctrinated toward the views of "the Righteous" (whom ever they deem themselves to be)?
Interesting analogy. I tend to feel #AA does good work- several people I know got help through them. I am not sure we can get #addicted to movies in the same way we can be to alcohol, what I do remember vaguely is seeing a #BoDerek movie when I was 11 or 12 or so on #BritishTV that I probably shouldn't have seen until I was at least 15. While I didn't think it did me any harm at the time looking back it probably wasn't that good for me, & certainly I would have protected my own kid at that age from it . Clearly parents disagree what is appropriate so some kind of rating system by age appropriateness is needful.
Great video! Though I think your cat may have been in violation of the Hays Code. 😂
Just on the code and horror movies. The code came in in 1934. Bride of Frankenstein, Mad Love, and Dracula's Daughter were after the code. These three movies seem to push the boundaries as much as any. And didn't horror disappear because of a British ban? But a fun look at the code and thanks.
Censorship blows
Love your videos!
I think the code was censorship. We wouldn’t want these people bleeping out parts of music or covering up statutes and paintings in museums. They even censor social media and its just too much.
Oh yes I remember when Hollywood was strict back then it had to be decent back in the day they didn't show any vulgarity or any bad language in movies or tv back in those days Hollywood was classy back then and more clean to now Hollywood shows everything these days now shows and has all kinds of junk in them now Hollywood was better back then but we still have great stuff these days as well in Hollywood
Yes, endless flow of whitewashed, from each other indistinguishable Bible and Western stories, not junk of course
cant even make a movie in Ohio
Well this is just my opinion but the Hays Code was STUPID!!!
!!!WAS????😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Antonia you are so beautiful
