Article Abstract:
British newspapers and the British Government are joining forces to increase censorship of moving image media, including video, television and cinema. The United Kingdom already censors more material than elsewhere in Europe and the government apparently refuses to acknowledge the moving image culture. The Government claims to be protecting the consumer by supporting the effects theory which states that viewers will replicate screen activities and behaviour. However, this theory is not a true supposition of how viewers actually relate to screen images.

Article Abstract:
The professor of film and television studies at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, explains how he plans to sue the release of the final installment of The Lord of The Rings films, The Return of the King, to study other cultural takes on fantasy and to test whether or not Hollywood is colonising the world's imagination. The aim of the study will be, once all the data is collated, to fully understand why and how a story such as The Lord of the Rings matters to different people, and how they relate the film and its themes into their wider lives.
