The year saw the conclusion of Hollywood\u2019s biggest franchise with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows- Part 2, the re-emergence of Tom Cruise with Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol, and the last instance in which Steven Spielberg directed two films that were released in the same year. <\/p>\n<p>Although it was a jam-packed year filled with comic book films, including The Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Thor, X-Men: First Class, and Captain America: The First Avenger, none of them made the top ten highest-grossing films of the year list.<\/p>\n<p>2011\u2019s most notable entertainment industry moment had nothing to do with film, as it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/the-20-greatest-hbo-shows-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">year in which Game of Thrones premiered on HBO<\/a>. Although there were still high-quality television shows like Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, and Justified that were on the air, Game of Thrones marked a paradigm shift in which audiences could expect cinematic quality storytelling on the small screen. <\/p>\n<p>It would be only two years later that House of Cards would premiere on Netflix and change distribution forever, and only a year before The Avengers sent every studio in a craze to create their own shared universe. Given the state of world politics during the first half of the Obama administration, audiences were also a bit more willing to look for hope at the movies, and had a better stomach for darker content.<\/p>\n<p>Five movie scenes from 2011 that you\u2019d never get away with today  <a class=\"fw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"\"> ADD AS A PREFERRED SOURCE ON GOOGLE <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/faroutmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/far-out-magazine\/img\/google-discover.svg\" alt=\"\"\/> <\/a>   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Far Out \/ Sony Pictures \/ Curzon Artificial Eye \/ Momentum Pictures \/ Summit Entertainment Sat 30&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612623,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[82360,96,26011,41976,2839,56,54,55,1829],"class_list":["post-612622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-david-fincher","tag-entertainment","tag-mel-gibson","tag-michael-fassbender","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wuthering-heights"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612622","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612622"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612622\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612622"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612622"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
