Which film uses the c word the most

There’s a key scene at the beginning of this month’s lacklustre superhero sequel Kick-Ass 2 in which Hit-Girl, the film’s deadly teenage heroine, protests against a household swear jar recently installed by her legal guardian. It’s a knowing callback to the first Kick-Ass, in which the same character – then just 11 years old – famously addressed a gang of villainous henchmen with a word borrowed from the vocabularies of Derek and Clive. With that in mind, the remainder of KA2 plays out as a tedious slog towards the inevitable reprise, which dutifully arrives in the film’s final moments. Because we all know it ain’t over til the little girl says «cunt».

train
Train Pulling Into A Station.

Ever since cinemagoers declared themselves too sophisticated for the simple thrills of Train Pulling Into A Station, filmmakers have sought out more and more extreme methods of shocking their audiences.

The Cult director Tod Browning challenged taboo when he cast actors with actual physical deformities in his 1932 horror classic Freaks, much to the consternation of backers MGM. Test screenings were riotous: one audience member claimed the spectacle had caused her to miscarry, and sued the studio for damages.

eden
1955: Naturist “documentary” The Garden Of Eden brings full-frontal nudity to British cinemas, under the pretext of offering educational value.

With the collapse of Hollywood’s draconian Hays censorship code in 1968, the path was cleared for a wave of increasingly frank films throughout the 70s.

Audiences eager for extreme violence could see The Last House On The Left; those in search of graphic sex could see Last Tango In Paris; and those of the Mary Whitehouse persuasion could see society going to hell in a handcart.

Today, with the internet threatening to outpace Hollywood in the shock video stakes, movie makers have been growing more imaginative. Srdjan Spasojevic’s infamous 2010 torture-porn effort A Serbian Film packed so many memory-searing horrors into its two-hour runtime that its plot synopsis read more like Vlad The Impaler’s rap sheet.

ARISTOCRATS

But shock tactics aren’t solely the preserve of horror directors and arthouse provocateurs any more – now they’re frequently being employed to drum up interest in otherwise conventional studio blockbusters. Few were expecting the montage of debauchery that played out over the end credits of mainstream comedy The Hangover a couple of years ago, but by the time the threequel hit cinemas this summer, the graphic giraffe decapitation scene that opened the film barely raised an eyebrow.

Whitehouse
“The showing of The Devils, Straw Dogs, Clockwork Orange, Oh! Calcutta and now Last Tango In Paris all produce a sense of outrage in people who know that life has more to offer than violence, promiscuous sex, drugs and pornography” — Mary Whitehouse, 1971. Photograph: Photoshot/Hulton Archive

It’s easy to see how the ubiquity of such shock tactics ends up rendering them ineffective, especially in the age of the advance teaser trailer. I haven’t seen the new Jennifer Aniston comedy We’re The Millers yet, but I have been inundated with enough TV spots, YouTube pre-rolls and red-band trailers to know that the film’s major set piece involves a tarantula bite to the scrotum. Once the actual movie comes around, the big surprise might be how little of a shock it actually holds.

One word which is most often used in today’s times, be it in newspapers or on television, is CORRUPTION. Everyone is up in arms against the C word. Everyone wants change but the problem is nobody WANTS to change – whether it’s the corrupt politician or the corrupted public at large or the lowest rung police hawaldar or the high ranking official at Mantralaya.

Politicians have been the most corrupt in this scenario because that’s where it all starts from – the root of all evil so to speak. Right from awarding tenders to non-deserving candidates or siphoning off monies meant for organising a prestigious games event. They are like the virus which is eating away into the very fabric of Indian society. Sometime’s it feels like, that the pre requisite of becoming a politician is the absence of conscience, guilt and transparancy. I wouldn’t want to put a blanket on all politicians but a majority of them seem to be falling into the bracket of irresponsible citizens who have been instated into positions requiring great responsibility.

In the past three years some of the biggest scams have hit the nation, the 2G scam or the Commonwealth Games ghotala being the most prominent ones. Every other week, one reads about a lot of lesser evils being picked up and put behind bars but most of the major players are still unassailable, which I think is the most frustrating part of being an Indian. It is akin to the driver of a influential man being jailed for a hit and run committed by the owner himself. Most of these powerful politicians enjoy some kind of diplomatic immunity which makes them above or at least beyond the law of the land and they roam freely thinking up more ways to scam the Indian.

Then there is the corrupt cop hiding behind a tree waiting to pounce on an errant driver who has jumped a signal or hasn’t buckled up!!! They are never visible before you have broken a red light, which makes one wonder whether they are there to prevent the law being broken or to actually facilitate it! Had he been standing at the crossing, the driver wouldn’t have broken the signal in the first place. And then the proverbial 100 rupee note exchanges hands but to give the Indian police force its due, let me quote Mr bachchan from one of his most popular movies – ITNE PAGAAR ME GHAR NAHI CHALTA, IMAAN KYA CHALEGA, COMMISSIONER … its tough to put your life on the block when your own family is living hand to mouth..

And that brings me to the most corrupt of all – The Indian populace at large! We are probably one of the most easily corruptible nations in the world. Think about how many times you have greased the palms of an official at MTNL to get a telephone connection out of line, how many times have you slipped a 100 rupee note to the traffic hawaldar saying bachchon ke liye mithai le lena,how many times you’ve even given a sizable donation to the school of your choice so that your child gets good education. In other words, our lives start with a bribe. We are not the mirrors of purity and definitely not above corruption so unless ‘WE’ change, no LOKPAL bill will have any windfall effect on the country and its administration. The people and their psyche have to change. Easier said than done I know, but we have to start somewhere so instead of protesting and holding dharnas for the release of Anna Hazare, start thinking like Anna and SAY NO TO CORRUPTION IN YOUR OWN LIVES!

The use of profanity in films has often been controversial, but has increased significantly in recent years.[1][2] The use of the word fuck in film draws particular criticism; in 2005, the documentary Fuck dealt entirely with this phenomenon.[3] The word fuck is thought to be the vulgar term used most in American film.[4]

The 1927 Motion Picture Production Code, better known as the «Hays Code», banned the use of profanity outright.[5] It was not until 1968 that the Motion Picture Association of America established a system of ratings to use as a guide to determine the appropriateness of the film’s content.[6] In 1970, M*A*S*H became the first American major motion picture to use the word fuck.[7]

The MPAA rating system typically assigns a PG-13 rating if a film contains the word used once not in the context of sex.[8] The R rating is normally required if the film contains more than one utterance or if the word is used in a sexual context; however, there are exceptions to this rule. In some cases, filmmakers appealed the rating because their target audience might avoid an R-rated film. Censors have been more lenient about the word in films that portray historical events.[8] The ratings system is voluntary; there is no legal requirement that filmmakers submit their movies to be rated.[6]

This is a list of non-pornographic, English-language feature films containing at least 150 spoken uses of the word fuck (or one of its derivatives), ordered by the number of such uses.

Hamlet & Ophelia

Hamlet & Ophelia, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Within the past few decades, a difference has arisen between British and American English concerning ‘the C word.’ I won’t repeat the word here, as it’s arguably the most offensive in English, but most will know what I’m talking about (it rhymes with ‘hunt’ and refers to female anatomy).

The C-word is still extremely shocking in American English. While other profanity has lost its power to offend in all but the most formal contexts, this one word remains taboo even in offhanded conversations.

This supremely offensive status is arguably a recent trend. After all, of the major English profanities, the C-word is the only to be uttered (almost) explicitly in Shakespeare, as per this pun in Hamlet:

HAMLET Lady, shall I lie in your lap?

OPHELIA No, my lord.

HAMLET I mean, my head upon your lap?

OPHELIA Ay, my lord.

HAMLET Do you think I meant country matters?

Get it? Even in the 20th-Century, the word only seems to have adopted its disproportionate infamy more recently. D.H. Lawrence, Samuel Beckett and Tennessee Williams all used the term in their literature, and while none are particularly uncontroversial writers, their use of the C-word didn’t seem to garner them an abnormal share of outrage.

Getting back to the point though. Within the past half-century, the C-word appears to have increased somewhat in the UK. And unlike the US, where the word is typically reserved for the female gender, the British C-word often refers to men. Where did this convention begin?

I recall an interviewee in the Sex Pistols documentary ‘The Filth and the Fury‘ suggesting that the British punk scene gave rise to this particular usage. And yet it’s fairly clear that using the term as a derogatory word for a man predates the era of mohawks and fashionable safety pins. After doing a Google Books Search (which took me on a whirlwind tour of the 20th-Century’s most horrible erotica), the earliest British use of this type I could find was in the 1967 novel Poor Cow.  So this unique insult seems to date back a bit further, its origin still mysterious.

And it’s curious as to how this emasculated use became popular in the UK, but much less so here in the States. Any ideas?

Каждый год в апреле в городе Ногинске
Московской области проходит Международный
детский конкурс английского языка “Good Luck”,
организаторами которого являются Международный
Центр творческой инициативы и Администрация
Ногинского района.

“Good Luck” – это культурно-образовательный
проект, в котором дети 10-11 лет проявляют свои
знания английского языка, литературы, истории и
демонстрируют свои творческие способности.

Конкурс проходит в несколько этапов. К его
финалу (а это красочное, великолепно
поставленное режиссёром шоу) допускаются 14
участников из числа победителей отборочных
туров. Тема конкурса объявляется за год, чтобы у
ребят было время подготовиться как следует и как
можно лучше проявить себя в отборочных турах, а,
если посчастливится, – то и в финальном шоу.
Попасть в финал не просто. В течение года будущие
участники совершенствуют свое мастерство в
исполнении танцев и песен, развивают навыки
монологической и диалогической речи на
английском языке, значительно пополняют свой
лексический запас, обогащают свои знания и
расширяют кругозор по теме предстоящего
конкурса.

Темы конкурса каждый год – разные: «Вокруг
света», «Морской мир», «Музыка», «Кино», «Театр»,
«В мире животных», и т.д.

Победители и призеры финального шоу
награждаются культурно-образовательной
поездкой в англоязычные страны.

В данной публикации привожу тест, который
составила и использовала для подготовки ребят к
этому конкурсу. Тест позволяет проверить у них
знание лексики по теме «Кино», грамматики, правил
чтения, умение строить вопросительные
предложения, языковую догадку, знание реалий
страны изучаемого языка.

тестами и по другим темам.

ОТВЕТ
1) Cinema a century ago

A long time ago, before television appeared was the Golden Age of cinema. People were always excited about going to the cinema, as it was a special event. During this time, film stars were treated like kings and queens. Actors were entertaining people all around the world through simple black−and−white films. Silent films were the way to go, because there was no way to record sound back in the days.

2) Cinema and theatre

People always had a debate on whether cinema is better than the theatre or it’s the other way around. Nowadays it’s easy to say that the first one is more popular than the latter. There are a few reasons for that. First of all, not every place has theatres, cinema has a higher availability. Secondly, theatres are by far a more expensive option, therefore many elect to simply go to a cinema. Theatres also have longer lasting plays, cinemas normally have rather short films. And lastly, cinemas are simply more entertaining to a bigger audience.

3) Cinema today

Nowadays, cinemas are a bit more expensive than before. However, there is a ton of brand new film, which are certainly worth it. Movies are of better quality, as well as have better sound. With all the modern technology and equipment available, films can be enjoyed even in
3D. A lot of special effects are added to improve one’s experience event more. Overall, cinema today is great.
4) Films of different kinds

Films are made for all types of audiences. There are many types of films for everyone to enjoy. That is logical, as different people prefer different films. Movies are also created for many countries, as they have different cultures and, therefore, different preferences. Some prefer to watch old films, and others like new ones. Films aren’t made to be enjoyed by everyone, so a variety should be present.

Перевод ответа
1) Кино век назад
Давным−давно, до появления телевидения, был золотой век кинематографа. Люди всегда были в восторге от похода в кино, так как это было особое событие. В то время к кинозвездам относились как к королям и королевам. Актеры развлекали людей по всему миру простыми черно−белыми фильмами. Лучше всего было немое кино, потому что в те дни не было возможности записывать звук.
2) Кино и театр
Люди всегда спорили о том, лучше кино, чем театр, или наоборот. В настоящее время легко сказать, что первое более популярно, чем второе. На это есть несколько причин. Во−первых, не везде есть театры, кинотеатры более доступны. Во−вторых, театры намного дороже, поэтому многие предпочитают просто ходить в кино. В театрах также есть более продолжительные спектакли, в кинотеатрах обычно показывают довольно короткие фильмы. И, наконец, кинотеатры просто более интересны для более широкой аудитории.
3) Кино сегодня
В настоящее время кинотеатры стоят немного дороже, чем раньше. Тем не менее, есть масса совершенно новых фильмов, которые, безусловно, того стоят. Фильмы имеют лучшее качество, а также имеют лучший звук. Со всеми доступными современными технологиями и оборудованием фильмы можно смотреть даже в формате 3D. Добавлено множество специальных эффектов, чтобы еще больше улучшить опыт. В общем, кино сегодня прекрасное.
4) Фильмы разных жанров
Фильмы делаются для всех категорий зрителей. Есть много типов фильмов для всех, чтобы наслаждаться. Это логично, ведь разные люди предпочитают разные фильмы. Фильмы еще создаются для многих стран, так как у них разные культуры и, соответственно, разные предпочтения. Одни люди предпочитают смотреть старые фильмы, а другим нравятся новые. Фильмы не созданы для того, чтобы всем нравились, поэтому разнообразие должно присутствовать.
