Pacific nation of Samoa bans Elton John biopic 'Rocketman' because of its depictions of homosexuality.
The Pacific nation of Samoa has banned the Elton John biopic"Rocketman" because of its depictions of homosexuality.
Samoa's principal censor Leiataua Niuapu Faaui told the Samoa Observer on Tuesday that the homosexual activity depicted on screen violated laws and didn't sit well with the country's cultural and Christian beliefs. Apollo Cinemas Samoa wrote on Facebook that"due to censoring issues we have had to cancel Rocketman."
A Russian distributor censored scenes from"Rocketman" that featured gay sex and drug use, and John wrote in a joint statement with the filmmakers that it was a"sad reflection of the divided world we still live in and how it can still be so cruelly unaccepting of the love between two people."
