Statement: Should it be allowed to make movies with controversial plots? Arguments: Yes. A movie is made to entertain its audience and should have the freedom to have any plot. No. Controversial plots might offend some groups of people. Correct Answer Only Argument I is strong.

Most often than not, movies are a work of fiction and should be allowed to have any plot that would entertain the audience. Keeping a check on the plot of the movie would curb the right of creative freedom of its makers. People might end up getting offended but it is not the fault of the makers and not allowing them to freely make the movie is not a viable solution. Therefore, movies should be allowed to have any plot and option 1 is the right answer.
