Review of Cleanflix (2009) by Jeff B — 19 Jun 2011
Very interesting documentary about a group of Mormons who formed a rental store that edits films and makes them more "family friendly" for everyone. You may have heard about them or seen commercials, but it really is a fascinating story and you can't help but laugh and be upset at everything that takes place here.
Cleaflix and other variations are video rental places that take mainstream films and edit out all of violence, sex, and profanity and make them wholesome for the mormon community. Unforutnately, filmmakers and studios aren't too fond of these people butchering these films and making a profit off of the edited material.
It is a very interesting film, the footage of the "edited" films they show is pretty hilarious, and just seeing the titles on dispay in the stores I keep thinking how the heck they managed to edit everything out and still have a feature length film that has he same impact.
Films like The Matrix, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart. I hope this gets a wider release, film fans should check this out.
