Director Paul Roland, whose award-winning feature film EXEMPLUM began streaming earlier this year, recently appeared on Timcast’s Pop Culture Crisis where he discussed Hollywood’s censorship of classic movies.
last week, the Criterion Channel, a streaming platform that prides itself on the preservation of classic cinema, was discovered to have been airing a censored version ofthat inexplicably removed the line in which Gene Hackman’s character, Popeye Doyle, utters the N-word and an anti-Italian slur. The scene, as John Nolte explained, established Doyle as a flawed anti-hero:
Doyle is no hero. He is a classic anti-hero from this era—a complicated, deeply flawed, frequently unlikable, and unsympathetic narcotics detective. Yes, Doyle is fascinating, one of the most fascinating characters in American movies, but even in the end, he is not the hero. The French drug dealer he pursues escapes, and the obsessed Doyle shoots down a fellow cop during that pursuit.
