18.The use of the word"imitation"(模仿) reminds me that we ought to make some more comments on the risk of people imitating what they see on the screen in the way of crime or violence.First,there is always a risk of children acting out scenes which could be dangerous.For example,I remember a woman who was head of a middle school telling me that she had happened to look out of her window at some childre who were on the playground and saw them putting a small boy on a chair with a rope round his neck and then pulling the rope over the branch of a tree; fortunately she had enough time to get there before the child was hanged.I particularly remember a film in which the hero who had been imprisoned escaped by electrocuting (用电刑处死) his guard,and the technique of how this was done was shown in detail.This is the kind of scene which should be cut.
In films for young people and adults we always tried to keep off the screen with details of criminal techniques,such as how to open a locked door with a piece of hard plastic or how to open a safe; if we were consulted before production,I used to advise that these kinds of details should not be shown.When I gave talks in prisons about censoring (审查) films,I had full support for this,since fathers,who were in prison for criminal offences,did not want their children to turn to crime.
Every time I gave a talk in a prison,someone used to mention the rench film Rififi made by Jules Dassin in 1954.This eye-catching film showed in great detail a robbery of a jeweler's shop.The robbery lasting about half an hour and backed only by natural sound is one of the most brilliant film sequences of all time.I remember our discussion at the time.We thought that the robbery could only be accomplished by the use of advanced and obviously expensive equipment and that only the most experienced and skilled criminals could possibly imitate it; we believd therefore that it was relatively safe.When talking with prisoners some years later,I learned that there had been several robberies in which the techniques had beencopied,so perhaps we were wrong.
