Kermode's view of censorship

Kemode is arguing against censorship. Kermode begins by supporting Forna's argument that word's can have a strong emotive effect by insulting the reader and praising himself. However he then reveals that this is merely the opinion of 'Britan's film censors', portraying them as patronising and arrogant, with an overly negative faith in the viewer's integrity. He then goes to explain why censorship is damaging to creativity and thus our experience as a viewer, using examples such as Bad Lieutenant. Kemode argues that although a viewer may be applaled by a film 'it didn't corrupt them'. He argues that unless the law is broken in the process of making a film it should not be banned. Later he broaches the topic of censorship for the saftey of children who may accidently watch it, he conters this by telling the readers to be better parents, I find this a very weak and lazy argument with a severe lack of empathy for parents who are unable to supervise their children 24/7 or children who do have bad parents. Kermode concludes his essay by referencing 1984, George Orwell an unoriginal choice but a very relevant novel that seemingly  foreshadowed this era. Kermode states that 'the idea of policing the effect of movies at some kind of national level is impossible', I disagree that it would be impossible however it would undeniably be very difficult.
