It turns out that the mainland is very strict about the content of films set in a contemporary timeframe. You can't touch upon present-day politics, and can't make disparaging allusions to modern history. The censors there also have grave reservations about fantasy. The end result is that your creative freedoms are seriously constricted.
原來，大陸對時裝片的內容審查嚴格，不能借今諷古、不能涉及現實政治，對「怪力亂神」的類型電影也很感冒，創作自由度受到很大限制，例如導演李安得到威尼斯影展金獅獎的《色戒》，就曾因「美化漢奸」與「大膽裸露」等理由，被修剪後才准上映。
