"My heart just broke. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it; I want people to experience the entire film," Wilde, the film's director, said.Variety
LOS ANGELES -"Booksmart" director Olivia Wilde and stars Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein expressed shock and disappointment over news that an edited version of their film shown on an airline cut out the film's lesbian sex scene. "I don't understand it," Wilde told Variety's Marc Malkin on the red carpet at the Academy's Governors Awards on Sunday night."There's censorship, airline to airline, of films, which there must be some kind of governing board to determine. We rate it a certain way. If it's not X-rated, surely it's acceptable on an airplane."
She continued,"There's insane violence of bodies being smashed in half and yet a love scene between two women is censored from the film. It's such an integral part of this character's journey. I don't understand it. My heart just broke. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it; I want people to experience the entire film."
Wilde did not name an airline censoring"Booksmart" during the red carpet. However, social media reports called out Delta in particular for editing down the queer storyline."We're on the case to get this rectified. Our movie is a beautiful representation of the queer experience as young people," the actor, who first read about the news on Twitter during her car ride to the award show, said."I'm a queer person.
Aww she’s a lesbian 😢
She should be naked all time.... this is an actual problem. I too am outraged.
I think we have too many graphic sex scenes already, of any type. It is unnecessary. Particularly the more animalistic, eating each other type kissing and roughness. Booooooooooo
If olivia wilde did her own lesbian sex scene nobody would censor it. They'd nut it
NBC STILL Covering up MattLauer & HarveyWeinstein Rapes & Abuse. Several Women Sexual Abuse, Rape & Harassment MeToo . Watch: Weinstein
Why would a loving scene be edited out? Because it's two women together? That's ridiculous.
Other than activists, who cares?
I'm 'Wilde' about Olivia
Watch all of the trumpers have a problem with it
Good! Our lgbt family should be allowed to exist in our media 🇺🇸
miss 13
That was censorship? It seemed like just the right amount of sex for a movie that didn't need any graphic sex in it regardless of who. I bet there's a director's cut to it and much like every other great movie, you realize it was better how it was released.
I still recall Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in 'Black Swan.' 😍😍
News flash: You have the right to have sex with whatever you want, but not everyone is going to want to see it in a movie.
Don’t quite understand this. If you have a problem with the lesbian sex scene, why are you even showing it on a plane?
I'm no prude, far from it, but do we really need that much guff on the telly? Go buy some hustler ffs. Lol
This is an outrage! Censorship at its worst! Let's see the scene!
Who cares!!
Because in America violence is acceptable sex and the human body are not
We should ban all SEX SCENES from all Media. There's no need to emphasize so much sex in our culture! BAN IT!
