Chinese Internet users expressed surprise after watching the broadcast, circulating subversive lines from the movie including: ‘The people should not be afraid of the government, the government should be afraid of the people.’ The film was once banned in mainland China, the state-run China Youth Daily reported, and was not shown in Chinese cinemas.”
