10 Controversial '70s Films That Were Too Dangerous For Their Own Time

Описание: I discovered ten films from the 1970s that were so dangerous they triggered Supreme Court cases, ended careers, and got banned for decades. Carnal Knowledge nearly became illegal nationwide after a theater manager was arrested just for showing it. Soldier Blue depicted American cavalry massacres so graphic that a Wounded Knee survivor called it the most horrifying thing he'd ever seen. Apocalypse Now literally killed its crew through toxic exposure and Martin Sheen's actual breakdown made it into the final cut. The BBC banned Scum before it ever aired, terrified it would spark prison riots—and it eventually forced the British government to abolish their entire juvenile detention system. These weren't edgy indie experiments—they starred Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, and Helen Mirren, cost millions, and still couldn't escape censors. I'm breaking down why studios funded films this radical, how they slipped past the rules, and why modern Hollywood can't replicate their audacity even when they try.
