15 Controversial Movies That Actually Live Up To The Hype
14. South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut
The Film:
Sadly, the only feature-length South Park film to date. In this comedy musical, the parents of South Park get America into a war with Canada after a Canadian TV show causes the kids to swear more. This is just as brilliant as the TV show it follows and is arguably one of the best animated films, one of the best comedies and one of the best musicals of all time.
Controversy:
This had to be submitted six times to the MPAA before they gave it an R Rating and it also holds a Guinness World Record for the most swearing in an animated movie.
It's South Park, so naturally it offended everyone. Any film depicting Satan and Saddam Hussein as gay lovers was always going to be controversial.
Why It Was Right:
This film mocks virtually everything, so everyone will have been offended by something in the film. Mocking censorship, America's race problems, America's foreign policy and too many different subjects to count, this basically takes modern culture and tears it apart in a truly scathing manner.
As well as this, the film is full of obscene swearing, gory violence and tasteless jokes, so the backlash was hardly surprising. Worst of all, a lot of younger South Park fans were trying to see it which understandably didn't make people very happy.
It was impossible for this movie not to have been controversial and Matt Stone and Trey Parker wouldn't have it any other way.
