I was sitting watching TV when i saw a trailer for a movie called J.Edger and when i was watching the trailer i thought that it was going to be rated PG-13 but no, it was rated R, i mean look at this Trailer, it doesn't have the factors that make up a Rated R movie, which brings me to my second question what factors make up a Rated R movie. Is it something that cause fear and creates nightmares because different people find different things scary, for example if you give a kids puppet movie a G-rating, but someone finds puppets scary then that movie should be rated R, therefore if rated R movies are rated of fears then all movies should be rated R. if thats not it does it mean that they rate movies with R because they want to protect people, but that doesn't work either because people are raised in different ways and certain things don't affect them, Which says that if rated R movies are rated in that way then only certain people should have the rated R rating, the point that i am trying to make is that to me the movie rating system is broken and needs to be fixed.

Jourden,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I'm guessing that trailer had to be kept fairly clean because otherwise they wouldn't be able to put it on TV where a person any age could see it.
If you're interested in the movie ratings system, I'd strongly encourage you to checkout the documentary called "This Film is Not Yet Rated." It takes a close look at the process that movies go through in order to get rated. I walked away from it realizing just how arbitrary that process is and the countless flaws that exist in the system. Let me know if you see it - I'd love to discuss it more!
