When film fans heard Titanic was to be brought to life in eye-popping 3D, they were thrilled by the promise of action so real you could almost touch it. And that’s precisely why government censors in China ruled one of the blockbuster’s steamier scenes had to go. The immortal sequence in which Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, paints Kate Winslet’s character Rose in the nude has been butchered for Chinese audiences. An official at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television said: ‘Considering the vivid 3D effects, we fear that viewers may reach out their hands for a touch and thus interrupt other people’s viewing. ‘To avoid potential conflicts between viewers and out of consideration of building a harmonious ethical social environment, we’ve decided to cut off the nudity scenes.’ a blog about the country’s internet culture, quoted one commenter as saying: ‘I waited 15 years to see 3D boobs, not 3D iceberg.’
