Your Favorite Movie Might Have Been Banned In These Countries
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
Here’s another beloved film that wasn’t banned by one film, but actually by three! It turns out that not everyone thought ET was a cute and loveable alien. Authorities in Sweden, Norway, and Finland banned the film from anyone under the age of 12 – but why?
They felt that the family might have scared young children and so they banned young kids from watching the movie in cinemas. Also, Nordic traditions didn’t approve of how the film portrayed ‘adults as enemies of children’. Can you imagine not watching this growing up?
