Olivia Wilde speaks out against censorship of lesbian sex scene in 'Booksmart.'
"My heart just broke. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it; I want people to experience the entire film," Wilde, the film's director, said.Variety
LOS ANGELES -"Booksmart" director Olivia Wilde and stars Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein expressed shock and disappointment over news that an edited version of their film shown on an airline cut out the film's lesbian sex scene. "I don't understand it," Wilde told Variety's Marc Malkin on the red carpet at the Academy's Governors Awards on Sunday night."There's censorship, airline to airline, of films, which there must be some kind of governing board to determine. We rate it a certain way. If it's not X-rated, surely it's acceptable on an airplane."
She continued,"There's insane violence of bodies being smashed in half and yet a love scene between two women is censored from the film. It's such an integral part of this character's journey. I don't understand it. My heart just broke. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it; I want people to experience the entire film."
Wilde did not name an airline censoring"Booksmart" during the red carpet. However, social media reports called out Delta in particular for editing down the queer storyline."We're on the case to get this rectified. Our movie is a beautiful representation of the queer experience as young people," the actor, who first read about the news on Twitter during her car ride to the award show, said."I'm a queer person.
