The Hays Code from 1934 to 1968 had a rule against showing clergy as criminals in movies. Beyond ridiculous. Countless clergy commit crimes and always have. 🙄🎬 #HaysCode

No word of a lie I was speechless when I heard the film’s writer made it so Ben-Hur and Messala were actually former lovers 😱

months older and still very happy with this one! currently doing some work on a piece about "California, Here I Come"! So still old, and I do give "The Thin Man" (1934) a shout-out.

The Hays Code era (1934–1968) restricted what Hollywood showed on screen. 📽️ How did self-censorship influence creativity under constraint & what does it mean for the public domain?

I've been watching a bunch of pre-code era movies (before 1934) and it is WILD how much has been censored and sanitized. Like, there are movies in the 20s/30s about gay people, poly relationships, trans people...just a bunch of stuff we've been brainwashed to think are modern inventions. #hayscode
