France Said No To ‘All Quiet on The Western Front’
The movie All Quiet on the Western Front is based on Erich Maria Remarque’s book of the same name. Due to its anti-war message and unfavorable portrayal of German soldiers, the 1930 film was outlawed in many nations, including Italy, Australia, and France. The Benito Mussolini-led Fascist government in Italy outlawed the movie because it posed a danger to his rule and its nationalist philosophy. Due to the unflattering portrayal of German soldiers, the movie was also outlawed in France and Australia. Early in the 1960s, the French government lifted the ban on All Quiet on the Western Front; the Italian and Austrian governments followed suit in the 1980s.

The Birth of A Nation Was Banned In The US For Its Abhorrent White Nationalism
A 1915 American silent epic drama film called The Birth of a Nation was directed and co-produced by D. W. Griffith, with Lillian Gish as the lead. The movie was a financial success, ranking among the highest-grossing movies of its day, but it generated a lot of controversy because of how black people were portrayed and because white supremacy was supported in the film. The movie has drawn flak for portraying African Americans historically incorrectly and for advocating white supremacy. It is still debatable today, which is totally understandable, and has been outlawed in a number of nations and eight states. Although it is not currently prohibited in the US, it is not currently shown as frequently and when it is, it is only done so with disclaimers or in a historical context.
