Okay, this isn't about WLS, but....
I saw the flick last Saturday, and it was fun, it was filmed just for fun. Three hours of fun and not a dull moment. Really, the era the film is set is early 18th century, so why the sensitivity? If the Chinese cut the film up,

then, we'd have to slash the whole of "Last Samurai".

And the "Memoires of a Geisha".
