'Fifty Shades of Grey' Banned: "More Pornography than a Movie"

The Fifty Shades of Grey movie was banned in Malaysia.

Fifty Shades of Grey premieres in Berlin next week but, will not be released in Malaysia. The film was denied a certificate by the Malaysian Film Censorship Board and the February 12th release has been cancelled, according to Variety.

The LPF chairman Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid said it is “more pornography than a movie.” “The board made a decision in view of the film containing scenes that are not of natural sexual content. The content is more sadistic, featuring scenes of a woman being tied to a bed and whipped,” Abdul Halim said.

"The Fifty Shades of Grey" features Jamie Dornan as a wealthy businessman and Dakota Johnson as a literature student who develop a relationship featuring bondage sex. The movie is based on best-selling novel by E.L. James.
