Where is Guillaume?

Joking aside, I think this is pretty accurate.

There are viewers who believe that there is too much violence on television and in current films at the cinema. Why does one think that one would change society for the better if one pressured for more considerable censorship?

I am of the opinion that there is too much explicit violence in films. In fact, there has been a surge of violence in the cinema. Nowadays the plot of any film must include/understand an image of combat or death to attract a greater audience. This kind of violence has evolved in the United States, one of the more violent countries of the world.

Although it is obvious that the violent imagery has an influence on the ideas of impressionable youngsters in our large cities, it is certain that censorship is not the single answer. The majority of viewers would never think to copy a criminal act of fiction. The problem is not the cinema, it is society itself.

The most violent plots in the world, in my opinion, are in Japanese films, a country where one sees fewer brawls in the street. The question of censorship is not so important. What is more necessary is a debate on the reasons why Americans in particular are more predisposed to copy the actors in action films.

Oh dear, that passage presents opinion as fact far too often.

Certains spectateurs croient et pensent qu'il y a trop de violence dans les films actuels et à la télévision. Pourquoi pensent-ils qu'on changerait la société pour le meilleur si on faisait pression pour une censure plus considérable ?
Je suis d'avis qu'il y a trop de violence gratuite dans les films. En fait, il y a eu un déferlement de la violence au cinéma. De nos jours,le scénario de n'importe quel film doit comprendre une image de combat ou de mort pour attirer une plus grande audience. Le genre de la violence a évolué aux Etats-Unis , un des pays les plus violents au monde.
Bien qu'il soit évident que l'image violente a une influence sur les idées des jeunes imitateurs dans nos grandes villes, il est certain que la censure n'est pas l'unique réponse. La majorité des spectateurs ne penserait jamais à copier un acte criminel de fiction. Le problème n'est pas le cinéma, c'est la société elle-même.
Les scénarios les plus violents du monde sont, à mon avis, filmés au Japon, un pays où les rixes sont moins visibles. La question de la censure n'est pas tellement importante. Ce qui est plus nécessaire,c'est un débat sur les raisons pour lesquelles les américains en particulier sont plus prédisposés à copier les acteurs dans les films d'action.


Pas beaucoup mieux,Barbarossa !

Far to much French in this thread please cease and desist or I'm sending the Daleks in.

[Barbarossa]

I think the person that told me I'm shit at French should translate the original block of text as requested, or STFU

Okay, now these are the changes I've made to it.

There are viewers who believe that there is too much violence on television and in current films at the cinema. Why does one think that one would change society for the better if one pressured for more considerable censorship?

I am not opposed to violence in movies, although I do see some of it as unnecessary. In fact, there has been a surge of violence in the cinema. Nowadays many films include/understand an image of combat or death in an attempt to attract a greater audience. Most of these movies are those produced in the United States, one of the more violent countries of the world.

Although it is obvious that the violent imagery has an influence on the ideas of impressionable youngsters, it is certain that censorship is not the answer. The majority of viewers would never think to copy a criminal act of fiction. The problem is not the cinema, it is society itself.

In my opinion, some of the most violent movies in recent years have come from Japan, a country with a very low violent crime rate. The question of censorship is not so important. What is more necessary is a debate on the reasons why some people are so easily influenced by fictional acts and what can be done to stop them from hurting themselves and others.

Please re-translate this into French if it's not too much trouble

Bumped to circumvent the dinglefest.

That worked well...

Any progress on this?

Hoping Skweeky can come up trumps on this.

Personally, I'm not understanding the point of this homework

Translate some French into English, and then back into French again
