Best Answer

In the scene where Jules and Vincent are transporting Marvin from the house and Vincent turns around and accidentally shoots Marvin in the face, the original cut included a shot of a fake head exploding on camera - then it cutting to a follow shot of blood splattering all over the inside of the car. Originally, this scene was dubbed too violent due to the head exploding and thus considering this film was already pushing boudries for an R-Film, the MPAA bumped the rating to an NC-17. Quickly realizing this, Tarantino agreed to cut out the head exploding scene, but the scene itself is still very graphic.

What is the meaning of movie rating x?

It means no one under 17 admitted. Even if accompanied by a parent or guardian. The old X rating is now the NC17 rating. Back in the day the X rating was given for extreme violence (Robocop got an X rating at first, until they trimmed a lot of the shotgun killing at the beginning.), extreme gore (The first Dawn Of The Dead was rated X, until Romero decided to release it unrated) or for pervasive sexuality (Midnight Cowboy was rated X, and was the first X rated movie to win an oscar. It has since been re-rated as a R The same with Fritz The Cat which added drug use to the sex.) It almost sounds like the X rating is a catch-all for anything someone at the ratings board is bothered by, doesn't it?

Does censorship violate freedom of press religion assembly or speech?

Censorship restricts (and therefore violates) freedom of the press and sometimes freedom of speech too. The violation of 'freedom of assembly' and of 'freedom of worship' are usually described using these words and are also serious violations of fundamental rights.
