out of the blue 2006 New Zealand film 

out of the blue directed by Robert Sarkies is a film about a true story of a outcast becoming New Zealand's most notorious mass murderer when an argument between neighbors results in a shooting.  

after its first released at the Toronto film festival members of the Aramoana community contacted the office of film and literature and expressed their skepticism about the film, this scored it a R15 restriction by chief censor Bill Hastings after it was submitted for review because of its "violence that may disturb" as well as its connection to real events New Zealanders have experience.

even thought Robert protested that this was "pc gone mad" when the film was submitted for review, the outcome of the R15 restriction was actually agreed with by the director because he believed that at that age people will be able to understand the film.
