NC-17 is more like how adults talk, R is more like kids in school. EDIT: DAMN DUDES! I wrote this smack dab in my freshmen year of college. Please cut me some slack, I was a foul-mouthed idiot. I no longer think this way, but will keep the post up because it's informative at least. It's been five years, please stop.
shadow 626 I agree so much they baby kids and think there stupid and the only things they can handle are fart jokes and friendship. Because, god forbid a single “frick” or ‘idiot/stupid’ or I’m calling the police and my lawyer
"It's rated G! So it's only for kids." Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, a film that touched upon themes such as lust, genocide, damnation, and aspects of religion is rated G. Yeah, the MPAA really does sucks and its rating system is so confusing.
I am the same way about the Hunger Games film. Children get murdered and it's PG-13. Bully, a very important documentary about bullying in schools, was rated R due to a few swears so it can't be shown in schools even though it SHOULD be.
Greg Sanders, eins2001, and LotrSpazz you’re all right on how it’s stupid that a movie like Hunger Games a movie that depicts child murder as a good thing, but yet it’s a PG-13 movie that gets shown in the schools in the United States, but yet Bully a documentary about bullying in the school system is R rated just because of swearing, and it’s not allowed to be shown in the school system even though Middle schoolers and high schoolers cuss up a fucking storm.
[Insert current meme here] it depicts child murder as a good thing because the wealthy people are living like hogs, and the poor people are starving without using the use of child murder, so my point was that if you can’t show a movie like Bully because it’s “not school appropriate” then you shouldn’t show Hunger Games for the same reasons.
That was a shocker, when I saw it. Pinocchio was rated G. Yet it has a scene of children smoking and drinking. Pinocchio seems to get killed by the whale. That is messed up. Back in the day animated movies got away with murder.
Cause it's the "kiss of death" for commercial films. Most theater chains won't show an NC-17 film, and most television networks and newspapers won't run ads for them. It almost guarantees your movie will be a commercial flop.
In Australia, rating's work like this: G: General Audiences, i.e Innocent kids and family movies PG: Parental Guidance, family movies that have some mild violence, themes etc. M: Mature Audiences, movies that older kids/teens *can* watch, but may contain sexual/drug references, swearing (more than just darn or damn) and more 'gritty' violence. MA15+: Mature Audiences 15+, these are very adulterated movies that are too much for M, but not enough for the next option, these are violent, 'colourful' and even sometimes 'saucy' films that are usually action or horror films. R18+: Restricted Age 18+, these are movies that contain Sex, Nudity, Gore and other 'GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THERE' triggers, that says it all. No one will read this comment but thank you if anyone actually cared.
And yet people still take their kids to the R rated ones then have nerve to get angry that something sexual or bloody happened on screen that scared their kid.
Movies: **contains child murder, violence, and gore** Movies: **gets PG rating** Other movies: **a character said frick** Other movies: **gets R rating**
PG is way too safe today. I’ve seen parents review a movie saying that PG isn’t enough and “this movie should be PG-13 because my four-year-old wasn’t comfortable with it!”
You cant shield kids from anything. The moment they type "under" in the search bar, first reccomendation could lead to the talk. ANYTHING can lead to it.
*"I was just imagining a rope around that pretty neck"* *"I know what you were thinking about"* *"The time has come gypsy. You stand on the brink of the abyss. But even now it's not too late. I can save you from your unholy demise. Choose me or the fire."* *"For justice, for Paris, and for her own salvation, it is my sacred duty to send this unholy demon back where she belongs!"* And EVERY LYRIC IN HELLFIRE; THE WHOLE MOVIE GOT A G RATING. HUNCHBACK WAS DEEMED MORE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN THAN OLAF
There's also one line that Frollo says--I don't remember it exactly but it goes something like this: "Wait between lashes, or else the sting of the first one will dull him to the second." (talking about WHIPPING SOMEONE TO TORTURE THEM)
Instead of having a rating, why not just have a warning label associated with the title? Like, *WARNING! This movie contains blood and gore, profane language, [etc], parents be advised.* Just say what the movie contains as a warning instead of putting a general label over it, like we do with a lot of consumer products.
It's a werid thing i noticed is that in kids media is you can do horrible graphic things to non human characters. The more non human the more can be done.
That's a very good note that is overlooked. I did a presentation about that once for my college (still enrolled) and used Samurai jack as my example of how non human decapitation and mutilation can be allowed into a children's show (I am not criticizing Samurai Jack, It is one of my all time favorite series).
@@captainvader921 IIRC, TF:Prime had Cliffjumper get brutally executed and turned into a zombie in the first episode. Not to long after, Bulkhead ripped a Vehicon's inside's out.
It can go even better. There's movie out there with nudity, multiple suicide attempts (one of which is even successful in full view), murder, adultery, and hundreds of people dying slow and horrible deaths, and it's rated PG 13. The best part is that we've all seen it, because it's Titanic.
Maybe it was also the themes of depression and psychology that garnered the PG rating, but even then, they're still great life lessons that should be appropriate for people of all ages.
To be fair Inside Out carried a lot of heavy psychological themes that could be hard for a child to understand (that's why the film's so great because it's a good way to teach them) but yeah, it definitely should have been a G just like Toy Story. Hunchback on the other hand is going surprisingly far into a PG-13 for a Disney movie
tv shows are also having mixed up ratings and such. Family guy censors the "S" word, but shows extremely intense scenes of extreme graphic violence, and it's TV-14 for some reason, but in angry beavers, a character saying "Shut up" had to be censored. It makes no sense
And then there's The Black Cauldron, which had scenes of mass graves and ends with the villain's flesh being violently shredded off his bones and his skeleton being sucked into the titular Cauldron. *A **_fehhhmly_** pic-cheh!*
I mean, come on the song "Hellfire" from The Hunchback of Notre dame is about Frollo's sexual attraction towards the much younger Ezmeralda, and culminates in him declaring to god that if she wont be his, he'll Kill her.
+kyotheman69 As someone who read the books and didn't watch the movies, I always assumed that the movie was toned down from the books, because they get DARK. Even if they weren't as toned down as I thought, there was some stuff I know they didn't put in it, and that difference could be what made the rating go from R to PG-13
nothing in zootopia seemed out of place to me :/ while the junior ranger scouts and tiger jumpscare did make every kid in the theater start crying, the former seemed very true to life and something a lot of kids myself included have experienced directly.
There was that whole "naturalist" scene. You know, that one time in the movie where it was basically hammering your head with how all them animals were basically nude.
Here’s the way I see it G - *lalala kids movie blahblahblah* PG - A SpongeBob episode’s level of random adult jokes stretched into a movie PG-13 - *_Ow, the edge_* R - *insert Lenny face* NC-17 - Instant demonetization on RUclips
G - general poeple PG - blood ,violence, muder, ????? - sex sences ull rarely see it in public television. if u want to watch like shaded gray u better watch it in ur computer
Because the original Toy Story was rated G, so the MPAA automatically rates Toy Story 4 the same. Cars was rated G, as it should have been, there was no adult edge in it. But Cars 2 was also rated G despite having torture scenes and characters being blown up and burned to death, but the original was rated G so obviously the sequel should be too. The MPAA is a total joke.
Ljn Toys and games oh and I forgot about this. Finding Nemo: opens up like Bambi with a mother and her unhatched eggs getting eaten by a wild fish, has a little hint of blood that makes a friendly shark go crazy and try to eat the main characters and a savage fish who just roars also try to eat the main characters. MPAA: ya this is fine for all ages you get a G rating Finding Dory: Dory is mentality retarded. MPAA: THATS A THEMATIC ELEMENT, PG.
To be honest, I'd take it a step further. You know what censorship practice doesn't really make any sense? Bleeping out swear words. Here (and for reference, here is Bulgaria), movies and tv programs generally just follow a much simpler rule. If you're a show that's going to be watched by kids, you don't swear And I don't mean use stupid sounding stuff like "gosh" (or it's equivalent, of course). I mean just...you don't swear. At all. And if it's not going to be watched by kids, you just swear as much as you want, because who the fuck cares? Bleeping out curse words just makes no sense. Because when a child is watching a movie or a show and they hear a sudden bleep in the middle of someone's dialog, they're of course going to ask their parents or whoever else is watching it with them "why was there a bleep in there?". I know why it's done, no need to explain, by the way. It's the same reason why basically so many movies movies are PG-13 these days - it gives you access to a broader market, thus it gives you a greater chance for your movie to make back it's money. (interesting how this seems to happen with movies that are, at best, average)
So we can't show nipples in movies without getting an R rating, yet nude paintings are put up on display in art museums? Should we give a rating system to museums too??? Doug made a great point on that. Why should we shield something most people have? Social taboo my ass.
Fun fact; there IS a documentary called Babies (2010) which had a PG rating for "cultural/maternal nudity" descriptor. Everyone else gave it basically PG/G ratings except for Japan & Singapore, Japan noscoped it to PG-12 while Singapore gave it a M18. No joke.
@@cartoonmaster2401 Well, Disney didn't actually own the rights to the X-Men at the time this film was made, 20th Century Fox did. That's why the X-Men, Fantastic 4, and Silver Surfer were absent from the MCU. However, NOW Disney owns 20th Century Fox, so they will be making MCU films including these characters in the future.
Title character gets drunk and smokes cigars in Pinocchio: G Title character literally stabbed in the back in Beauty and the Beast: G Villain asks the Virgin Mary to send female lead to Hell if she won't sleep with him in Hunchback: G "Size doesn't matter" in Frozen: PG If there's been any change in the ratings system, I'd say it's becoming stricter.
+K McAlpine I remember that movie Super 8 that came out a couple years ago was PG and they said the F-word once, which surprised me because I wasn't expecting it.
I think the real issue is that, back then, the MPAA defaulted animation to the G rating with some exceptions. Now, studios are probably demanding a PG to make their cartoons more marketable to wider audiences who think they’re too cool for animation.
G- Preschool movies PG- Literally every single kids movie made today PG-13- Has distinctive adult humor and violence but it’s pretty mild at best R- Ouch, there’s a lot of stuff going on NC-17- Don’t even get me started
I'm sorry, The Dark Knight almost got an R-Rating for DRINKING? Pirates of the Caribbean is full of drinking rum and it's PG-13. Alice in Wonderland had all that stuff you said and it was a PG. THERE ARE RELIGIONS WHERE KIDS CAN DRINK. I could get the swearing and sex stuff, but DRINKING?! SERIOUSLY MPAA, GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!
There's a difference; Dark Knight is modern-based, Pirates is historical based which makes the comparison a bit unfair. Drinking factor was historically accurate.
I think it's abundantly clear that somehow the MPAA become more careful about dishing out the "PG" rating to movies with something some parents might object to- whether it be creepy stuff that could frighten kids, really dramatic stuff that could make kids cry, adult subject matter that could confuse or misinform them, or crude and brash humor you may not want your kids to pick up on. I think movies like Frozen being PG may be a little too far with this policy. There are hardly any G-rated movies anymore. But I guess for nitpicky parents who want a high level of control over their kids' media lifestyle, I guess it's alright. I think that in the mid 90's the MPAA was bizarrely eager to give the "G" rating to movies that were really good or had a general all-ages appeal, even if those movies had a few scenes of thrilling violence, borderline erotic sensuality, et cetera. Just look at the Lion King. That shit when aired on Disney Channel is now TV-PG, and for good reasons. Actually, TV-PG is just a tad more "adult" than movie PG has probably ever been, since it covers The Simpsons and Family Feud. Not mention how Babe got a G rating despite a scene where one the sheep gets bitten and bleeds profusely and fairly terrifyingly. That shit was way too intense for the four year old me. No doubt it would get PG these days. Still a good film.
I agree The Hunchback of Notre Dame had a women get killed by Frollo and when Frollo sings that hell song. And all Frozen has is that foot size joke. Thank god in Canada Frozen is rated G and so is Inside Out and movies like The Raiders of The Lost Ark are rated 14a which is a rating in Canada.
If you dont know The Canadian rating list is G for movies like Inside Out and Many Disney Movies C8+ for movies like Despicable Me PG for movies like Shrek 14A for movies like Independence Day and Raiders of Lost Ark and finally 18A or R for movies too gory for teens.
Yet in the UK it's... Inside Out and Shrek: U (equivalent to your G rating) Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pokémon: The First Movie, Frozen, and the first Toy Story: PG (Actually, there's probably some consistency there, Idk lol) Edit: And Watership Down is "rated U", but the director of the BBFC says that it 'would be rated PG today' lol Edit 2: Apparently the first Toy Story is a PG here because the BBFC were worried about kids imitating things in the film with matches and fireworks, while the sequels, having no matches and rockets, got U ratings. That makes sense to me, honestly.
Disney's Deadpool won't be rated R. As soon as they got it the edited the hell out of Deadpool 2 and re released it as a PG move. And the original films will be shoved onto Hulu so that people won't associate it with the Disney brand, assim I'll ng they don't try to bury them outright
Steven Higgins it won’t be Disney’s Deadpool. Disney owns Fox, just like they own Marvel Studios. They don’t directly produce these movies, the studios they own do. This means that if that if Fox and Marvel Studios wanted to make Deadpool rated R still, Disney can give them permission. Afterall, Disney does own Miramax and that studio makes rated R movies all the time, like the new Halloween.
Frozen: Talking snowmen and fun art styles, with 'love is an open door' and 'in summer' HoND: Death, genocide, religion, sex, and discrimination, featuring 'god help the outcasts' and 'hell fire'. WHICH DESERVED THE PG RATING??
They should break PG into two smaller ratings, one for soft PG like Madagascar and one for hard PG like Puss in Boots 2, otherwise parents are going to be upset when their kids watch the new Puss in Boots thinking that it won’t have any dark themes or gruesome deaths.
To be fair, virtually all violence you see in movies, even graphic violence, is all simulated and faked, while a nude scene in a live-action movie often involves watching a real person actually stripping down in front of the camera. And with my experiences seeing how people behave in our culture, people seem to have a very hard time developing a clear understanding of what a healthy and loving sexual relationship is, (at least much more than they do understanding that it is wrong to shoot someone, etc.). Now I do not exactly believe we should shelter young people from sex or act in paranoid ways that it will "corrupt" them like its the Devil, but I find it understandable that sex is taken more seriously than violence in some ways.
Thats how it was when I watched Jason X on AMC this Haloween. When the 20th century A.I. teens took off their clothes, the breasts were cropped off frame. When a teen had her head frozen in liquid nitrogen and crushed with the inside of her head showing, that was kept in the program even though it was rated "TV-14 LSV".
What did Inside Out even get a PG rating for? Wait, I can look it up. Hold on, where's Imdb? *looks* Ok, so we've got a couple of states of undress far too goofy to be risqué (one naked toddler moment, and one pantsless-in-public nightmare), the word "heck" used three times and Anger's constant attempts to use a profanity which is never actually sounded, and a few slapstick moments which certainly can't be worse than death by impalement, which was the climax of The Little Mermaid, and a dog's body splitting in half, which, if I remember correctly, was a concept for a pretty prominent character in the also G-rated Toy Story. Someone'd better call the little purple dude in my head, because I am soooooo scared!
I read somewhere (can't recall where) that the scene in The Avengers where Loki stabs Coulson was heavily scrutinized, and had to be re-filmed in a certain way so it wouldn't get the R rating. This makes NO sense if you watch the television series "Supernatural" where humans possessed by demons get beheaded (on-camera) on an almost regular basis. So characters getting beheaded on a TV show is fine..... but someone getting stabbed in a movie has to be scrutinized so it won't give the film an R rating.
The tip of the spear protruding from his chest was removed for a PG-13. The far more sensible BBFC in the UK allowed it uncut at 12A (our PG-13 equivalent) because "the image is not dwelt upon and serves an important narrative purpose". The UK home releases were cut but that was the distributor's fault for including the wrong version, as it was already passed uncut at 12A for cinema.
X Files has even worse violence. Frozen head shattering on the ground, eye balls popping out, faces melting off, rape, lots of eye stuff, children hit by trains, babies buried alive then dissected, an absolute shit-ton of incest, lots of cracking open bodies. Point is, Supernatural is less violent and "mature" then X Files
So this is a stereotype right? I remember taking my christian mother into incredibles 2 (which I now know she didn’t really want to see) and we literally laughed when every freaked out over “hell” and “damn” being said. A way to correct this would be to break it down. “White, over the top, overprotective, Christian mothers.”
i never got why "hell" is a swear word. here in germany it's just...the firery place down there where the devil lives... it CAN be used for swearing...but usually it is not. what is so bad about it? is it that awful american christianity?... so weird..
Sergeant Cyro yeah, no. On a technicality it’s not. Most Christians aren’t that over the top, it’s just that atheists pretend like they are better than Christians.
I got a good one for you. Remember the show Reboot? The animated series done by Mainframe Entertainment. There is an episode when Enzo is having a birthday. When they submitted that episode to be rated/censored. They said Dot's breasts were to large. Even tho they didn't change anything about them from the previous 10 episodes. So they were like "Screw that." and resubmitted the episode 3 more times, each time. Making her breasts bigger. Then finally, on the last submission. They took the breasts down 2 sizes and were OK'd for tv. So in the end. They made them bigger by 1 size and proving how stupid the system is.
Used to love that show as a kid ... although I tried to watch it a year ago ... it did NOT age well at all, I remember it being so much cooler aaah the wonders of childlike nostalgia.
It's like when the Deadpool film first got released and there were parents rioting about it having a sex scene, and I'm like, "it's R-rated for f*ck's sake, get over it"
PG movies like Spider man: Into the spider verse, they would have a good reason to be PG, and some movies like Finding Dory and Christopher Robin, they would make PG seem like a joke.
@@legojedi626 They should have. Christopher Robin should be G because there’s nothing wrong with it. And you’d think Finding Dory would be G just like Finding Nemo was.
@@Warrior2044 And don’t forget about Star Wars and Tron Legacy, those have good reasons to be PG. You know the story is dark when it involves people competing in disc battles and light cycle races where the aim is to kill each other. And what about when those stormtroopers killed Luke’s uncle and aunt and their corpses were shown?
And then you get PG-13 movies like Jurassic Park where the rating was completely unnecessary and overprotective. Jurassic Park should be PG. How the hell can people not see this? America’s ratings suck.
It's ironic when the material called "mature" in this day and age happens to be less mature than the stuff made with children as the targeted audience.
@@theautisticfancriticshow2000 seriously Finding Nemo had more tense scenes then finding Dory. The only tense scene in finding Dory is the car chase scene
The American rating system never made any fucking sense: Guns, teens getting killed. "totally fine" Sex mentioned, nipple appears, mention of homosexuality. "OH GOD THE HORROR!!!!"
Examples? Seriously, a lotta people who complain about the MPAA like it has this grand influence actually today in the age of the Internet where people can scrutinize a movie's appropriateness more precisely, act like Happy Feet or ParaNorman got PG-13 ratings. Are you talking about these days recently or yesteryear?
I wish Deadpool level violence was in PG movies Until that happens I will never be satisfied. Homosexuality is a subject that can easily get it a PG or PG 13 rating
Honestly, I feel like the matrix is one of those movies that didn't really deserve an r rating. I could see it perfectly as pg-13, but r is kinda pushing it.
The matrix deserves its R rating. Pointing an automatic weapon at what looks like a police officer and pulling the trigger, causing bloody holes to spread throughout his body is an R rated moment. Also, I can see Jack Reacher being rated R. That movie is surprisingly violent. I love both of these movies, but I really agree with the ratings. The matrix also has a scene where a knife is thrown into someone’s head, and that other scene where that bug thing was sucked out of Neo’s stomach.
You can only say "Fuck" in a PG-13 movie *once* in a non-sexual context. That would have pretty much ruined that scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; a movie that otherwise would be Rated PG-13 because there no other offensive or disturbing content beyond the mental image of John Candy's hand being "between two pillows" somewhere on Steve Martin's body. ;) But that scene in PT&A is so totally worth it, it's just an awesome scene and, oddly, probably either intentionally or unintentionally makes the point TNC makes here about the rating system not making sense when one scene filled with a bunch of uses of the "F-Word" overcomes the other 88 minutes of the movie that is totally benign.
***** I don't get it, though. I've been watching that since I was a kid, that's my family's thanksgiving movie. Sure, there's F bombs, but kids can understand that, and why it's unacceptable. Indeed, the rudeness is part of what makes his karmic retribution so much funnier; "You're fucked." I still think that needed a pg13. At the most. I mean really, that felt like a pg movie.
Did you know My Little Pony: The Movie (a movie based on a toy line meant for little girls mind you) GOT a PG rating for "Mild Action"?... Clearly whoever gave it that rating has NOT watched this video. I mean they had the perfect opportunity to bring the G rating back into the spotlight... and they give it a PG rating. I expected that to happen to Cars 3 but MY LITTLE PONY!? And no thanks to that, Cars 3 got a G rating and was not that big of a hit, and My Little Pony: The Movie (which SHOULD be rated G) got a PG rating. The MPAA rating system can suck my balls!
NCfanboy1 I know, I know. That pissed me off too. I mean, the movie DOES have some intense scenes (Tempest's backstory, the Mane 6 nearly drowning, Storm King's death), but it's not so bad that they need a fucking PG rating.
LOL I saw that movie because I'm a massive fan of MLP. I have no idea how it got that rating. There are moments in the actual show that have 10 times more "Mild Action" than that movie did!
If it were up to me: Today’s PG and G would be combined into G. PG-13 would become PG. R would pretty much stay the same but the rules would change a bit.
It gets weirder in the publishing world. If you write what you want classed as "Young Adult Fiction", the only restriction is that your characters are not allowed to smoke.
because of the homophobic old white men in hollywood thinking a gay moment will influence the minds of kids and turn them gay as well so one kiss is deemed more scarring than someone being dragged to hell to live in torture for eternity. Yup totally logical.
How odd that the extended cut of Drag Me to Hell was unequivocally R, yet it was released as Unrated. And here I thought releasing a movie without a rating was to avoid the stigma of NC-17.
Believe it or not, I think Television has a better rating system than movies... which is *really* saying something. You have the rating, and then a brief summary via a simple letter system that tells you why it got that rating. Example: TV-M-LSV would mean "Mature- Language, sex, violence", that is a lot better than the current movie system. R tells me nothing of your movie. "LSV" tells me exactly what to expect and that it is for mature audiences.
I'm going to edit out everything past "In my honest opinion" I was tired as fuck when I wrote this and I have no idea where it came from. but, if you want to read it, it is copied below.
No idea why I put this in the original comment, but here it is for anyone who gives a shit. "In my honest opinion, I think straight up porn should be more acceptable in society than gore-y, violent films. How many times are you going to see someone get decapitated in real life? I'm not saying you won't, but not everyone will because that is a rather rare occurrence. However, literally *everyone* has genitalia and got here via sex in one way or another, why do we demonize it so much? We wouldn't exist without it."
Derrick Marler I'm not saying we do that either, I'm saying we should stop demonizing sex so much. Neither you nor I would be here without sex, it is perhaps the most important thing for the survival/longevity of our species.
Melting Sky I'd be willing to say that a 13yo should already know about sex, so unless it is straight out pornography, I'd say it'd be ok for a "love scene" in a PG13 movie, full frontal and all. I mean, of course in moderation.
I think the biggest problem with this or many systems is trying to have ratings that apply to everyone. My parents used to be friends with another couple who had a son the same age as me. This kid was the biggest wimp I have ever met. He was terrified of everything. Notable examples include the tunnel scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, the Street Sharks, literally every resident of Halloween Town in Nightmare Before Christmas, the Foot Clan from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and No Heart from the Care Bears. yup, kid was scared of something from Care Bears. Like, run-from-the-room-shrieking terrified. At the same age I was unaffected to bored by those things, and was already a budding horror junkie. Raiders of the Los Ark was one of my favourite movies when I was 6. My favourite Disney films were, and still are, Fantasia, The Great Mouse Detective, Alice in Wonderland, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, all of which have some content that could get them labelled PG or PG 13 now (sexy mouse dance, anyone?). The idea that any film rating would have reflected what we could both stomach based on age alone is ridiculous.
They aren't meant to reflect every child, or any child really. They're meant to be general guidelines for parents regarding objectionable material. A child being frightened has nothing to do with ratings. Still, your friends' parents can apply the rating system to him as much as any other parent can. They must know he's a super-pussy, so they'll know all films above 'G' are too intense, and even 'G' films can be iffy. They must be dying of embarrassment. 🤕
Here's my idea: YK (Young Kids): Stuff that only very young kids would only enjoy that adults wouldn't (Those Airbuddies movies, Alpha and Omega Sequels, The Oogieloves, Teletubbies etc.) G: Enjoyable and appropriate for all audiences (Most Disney and DreamWorks movies). It would basically be our current PG. PG: Use it properly like only for more violent and creepy family movies like Coraline and Monster House for example. I guess that could still stereotype G as being uncool though, sametime I don't think that's much of an issue between E and E10 rated games. Some stuff that was barely PG-13 like 9 and Isle of Dogs could have also worked under this PG. PG-13: it can stay the same, maybe allow for a bit more cursing though. R: It's fine. NC-17: It's fine.
This rating system really pisses me off. I've noticed that some randomly selected Pixar movies in the past few years seem to have more reasonable ratings. For example: While The Good Dinosaur isn't Pixar's best, I think a PG rating is pretty fitting. But people did complain about how the movie's too dark for kids, which ticks me off since most if not all of Disney's films of the Golden age gave kids nightmares as well and they're all rated G! And Monsters Universe and Cars 3 are rated G, too, which I also think is fitting.
No. When I was in 6th grade at elementary school, we went to Wisconsin Dells to celebrate us moving on to middle school. The drive was 2 hours, so we had Cars and Finding Nemo as our choices. This was 4 years ago.
Well my parents really keeping their eyes close on what I can and can't watch until I was 12. Since then I'm pretty much watch any kind of movies that I want
I remember the rule of my elementary school was that if a student wanted to bring in a film to watch it had to be rated G. I really hope that rule doesn’t still apply with next to no modern films being rated G.
he said the Vessel previews would be skipped and he says: they will still be on the site and RUclips on the usual appropriate days, but two Vessel previews will be skipped so we can take the proper time to get our lives back on track with our current loss.
Australia has a rating system that goes like follows: G - General. This is approved for people of all ages PG - Parental Guidance. For kid movies that contain cartoons (Like Adventure Time or Gravity Falls), or live action, more mature films (Like Beauty and The Beast (2017) and Star Wars: A New Hope) M - Mature. For more edgy movies for older kids. (Pirates of the Caribbean and Most Marvel Movies.) MA 15+ - Mature Audiences. This is for teenagers and adults. If younger viewers watch this then they must be accompanied by an adult. (Like Deadpool and The Nice Guys) R 18+ - Restricted. This is usually only for horror movies/shows. (Roanoke and Breaking Bad) These are also the ratings for games, but R18+ is used much more frequently and PG less so.
I'm an American, and I think it's a very reasonable rating. I knew about meth at the age of 15, and knew it was bad for you. Breaking Bad actually came out when I was 16. I haven't seen it, but I do know (1) don't do meth and (2) it's a work of fiction. If you can't grasp those two concepts, you're just an idiot.
Right? When I saw it, my friend and I were literally the only people in the theater over the age of 7 that weren't parents. It was 100% fine, too. I didn't think there was anything those kids shouldn't be seeing.
For the majority of the time watching the film, I was trying to see where this lesbian stuff was coming from but I didn't. Or at least nothing that was directly pointing towards that. It felt like people were complaining to much about some hinting that felt like it could of been taken in any 2 ways.
'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', rated G despite intense torture scenes and on-screen deaths 'Inside Out', rated PG for showing a baby's buttocks 'The Dark Knight', rated PG-13 despite intense violence and gore 'Billy Elliot', rated R for language. These rules don't apply here in the UK but they're still ridiculous nonetheless. Over here, 'The Dark Knight' is a 12A and 'Billy Elliot' is a 15 for similar reasons though!
Ned Grabiec Har Har Har.....in Germany Billy Eliot is FSK 6. That means it is for children aged 6 or older. Language or nudity dosen‘t count in a country where you can see bare breast at 15:00 in the TV. But don‘t use violence. If you have violence in yor movie it is faster rated FSK 16 than you can say Cheeseburger. Except for cartoons or animated stuff. They all get FSK 0 or FSK 6, regardless the amount of violence.
@@MabuseXX I remember someone asked "How was Elfen Lied only 15 in the UK?" Germany was wise enough to give it an 18. It's still rated TV-MA (17+) but that's our TV highest rating.
I've never gotten what the big deal was with nudity. Not sex, nudity. Nudity doesn't always equate to sex, you could just be changing clothes or getting into the shower. And yet, to some degree, people will get more upset with that than vicious, horrendous gore, like Doug said. We all know what the naked human body looks like, since we are all humans, and have seen our own naked bodies before, and will most likely see someone else's. So why is this so upsetting to us? Why is disgusting amounts of gore and violence okay, but a nipple, something that is on literally every human being, so much worse? This especially makes no sense with programs on Adult Swim. i mean, who's supposed to get offended? Adult Swim airs at night, and during the wee hours of the morning, a time when usually, most kids are in bed. And yet, the second someone takes off their clothes, no matter the reason, up go the black censor bars. And yet, they have absolutely no problem at all with intense gore and violence. Are they censoring it for that one type of sensitive adult who is offended by the naked body but has no problem seeing that body being mutilated or in agony? It's just so strange. I guess sadism really is just a natural part of the human mind.
I think Adult Swim does it to parody censorship. At one Robot Chicken episode, Gargamel watches Smurfet bathing naked and her breast is blurred. He then turns to the camera saying "I don't know why you blur that out. Smurfs have no nipples." and the blur disappears.
Thank you! It's the similar issue with video games aswell! A game can be as gory it can (MKX) but oh man if they show a nipple then it's a risk of having an "AO" rating.
But why is nudity a problem to begin with? We all have been nude at some point and we all have seen someone of the opposite sex nude at some point in our life. I mean, I get why someone doesn't want others to see himself/herself being nude. But if the actor/actress in a movie has no problem with being filmed nude, why should we have a problem watching her/him being nude? For the record, I am not suggesting that everyone should run around nude, I simply don't get why a nudity scene in a movie causes so much fuss.
@marianne mccrank pg-13 was basically for teens who loved the super heroes and dinosaur stuff I thank children should not watch pg-13 movies at all it's the perints who don't read the labels it's like giving a kid gta because it has cars
This is how I would make the viewing system. A - Anyone A11 - Anyone, if under 11 need guardian A15 - Anyone, if under 15 need guardian A18 - Anyone at or over 18
Britain has a similar system U- everyone PG- 11ish-anyone 12- anyone 12 or over 15- anyone 15 or over 18- anyone 18 or over The game rating system also works really well 3- no mature themes 7- some mature themes but little heavy maturity (drugs; sex or coarse language) 12- mature themes 16- violence and heavy mature themes, most horror games are 12 or 16. Also may contain sexual references 18- sex, drugs, violence, etc. There are also little icons that state what the game actually contains (fear, drugs, coarse language, etc.) And a parental guidance rating for games involving online interactions and in game payments.
And my game rating system would be... A - Anyone A8 - Anyone 8 and up can buy by self A13 - Anyone 13 and up can buy by self A16 - Anyone 16 and up can buy by self AD - only ages of 18 and up can play. Children are not advised/permitted to play
In the Deathly Hallows part 1 when Hermione is tortured they had to cut out that scene because due to Emma Watson's acting in the scene would have given the movie an R rating. Even Helen Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) had to stop to make sure Emma was ok at the end. I know movies now only get an R rating if they have any kind sex, nudity or extreme gore and violence. But an R rating from just acting out an scene were you are in make believe pain is impressive.
"Love is Strange" and "Drag Me to Hell" both received 15 ratings from the BBFC. I used to study media law and broadcasting at university so I've always been fascinated by the UK ratings system from the 70s onwards. Never really considered the American ratings system when I was studying it though haha.
It's crazy that Willy Wonka was rated G for implying that there was a possibility that the kids survived while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had to show all of them make it out alive in order to get a PG rating.
@@karstenschoenberg9736 yeah but I mean in the scene you didn't know if he was telling the truth or not and Gene Wilder said himself that Wonka was supposed to seem untrustworthy. I always thought they were fine but it always left it up to the imagination what really happened to them. The Johnny Depp version just overly says over and over again that the kids were totally fine and then showed them come out of the factory which honestly took away from how impactful all the scenes with the kids were compared to the original.
The 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory showed the kids survive and leave the factory because the film was being faithful to what happened in the book, which showed them survive
I still LOVE the fact that earlier this year parents tried to pressure Fox studios into Re-shooting a PG13 Deadpool movie XD Theres a reason it's rated R people! No one wants to sit through a sex scene with a ten year old next to them!
I took my 15 year-old to watch it. I told her to cover her eyes at that part (as she didn't really want to see it, either). But, I knew she was a fan of Deadpool, so I brought her along. In front of us, though, was a guy with his, like... EIGHT year-old son, and didn't bother doing the same, or covering his eyes. -.- Like, seriously, dude? He's not even _near_ hitting puberty, yet.
Steamboat Willie The Parental Guidance also tells parents that they'll want to see it before they let _any_ child see it, or watch it with them to determine, for themselves if: 1. this is something their particular child can handle 2. it is something they deem appropriate for their child (there is naked Deadpool, and a scene with Ryan Reynolds getting pegged... I think more than a few parents would have issues with this, even for their teenagers) The R ensures that the parents have no right to bitch about their kid seeing the movie, if they don't approve of the content.
You have banned GTA5 for violence against women (while there is literally ONE female who dies for the sake of the story. Not even killed, she just dies). You people are very sensitive, it seems.
I think another big part of the problem is deceptive marketing. So often, many studios and filmmakers like to exploit the loopholes of the system to get the most attention for their movies. This was often done by advertising a movie to look a certain way so that the audience thinks they know what to expect, but then something in the movie itself pulls the rug out from under them. While most like to be pleasantly surprised, nobody likes to be deceived or disappointed. So, because too many people got triggered by the deceptive practices of certain studios and filmmakers, the system has to constantly be altered, making it hard for new creators to find an audience.
I gotta agree with you on this NC; why in the hell is something as nightmarish graphic as Drag Me to Hell only a PG-13, but the idea of two men kissing and sleeping in the same bed, fully clothed, an R rating? Does the idea of having to explain to your kid why these consenting adults are living together, kissing, going to bed on one futon but are two men scare parents that much? That's probably the reason. But more to the point, who would take their kid to see Drag Me to Hell in the first place? I mean, aside from the kind of parent who wanted to punish their child for, say, saying "Poopie!" in school. If the day comes that I'm a parent and I had the choice to show my kid a movie at home, I'll show them Love is Strange. Hm, maybe I'm too edgy to be a parent.
sonowhyzass Love is Strange also has some swearing, which is the only reason why it's rated 15 in the UK (our equivalent of R), the same rating as Drag Me To Hell.
the documentary mentioned here, "this film is not yet rated", goes into detail about this. basically the ratings board consists of "regular parents". and because of that, they also bring in their own prejudices, resentments and morals. afair kevin smith is interviewed and mentions his movie "jersey girl", with someone telling citing the scene in which liv tyler talks about masturbation and saying that he has a daughter himself and that (because of that) this scene made him feel uncomfortable.
A movie thats G but should be Pg: The Hunchback of Notre Dame A movie thats Pg but should be rated G: Inside Out A movie thats Pg but should be Pg 13: Alice in Wonderland A movie thats Pg 13 but should be rated Pg: Spiderman 1 A movie thats Pg 13 but should be R: Drag me to hell A movie thats an R but should be Pg 13: The Kings Speech Just as an example of how I would rate these films
I Love Inside Out and watched it many times and I still do not know why it is rated PG, I could not find anything in that movie that warrants it the only conclusion I can find is that if you watch the commentary the orginal draft was going to have a 3rd act and maybe the MPAA gave the PG rating to them on that but still it makes no snese
Spider Man 1 is right at PG-13 - despite the lack of blood the violence is still strong and intense, along with the retribution theme. It's rated 12 in the UK, with only the fantasy context and positive moral framework keeping it from earning a 15 (our equivalent of R).
These are the ratings nowadays
G - Baby Movies
PG - Animated Movies
PG - 13 - Action Movies
R - Adult Movies

Yea true
NC-17 is more like how adults talk, R is more like kids in school.

"It's rated G! So it's only for kids."
Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, a film that touched upon themes such as lust, genocide, damnation, and aspects of religion is rated G.
Yeah, the MPAA really does sucks and its rating system is so confusing.
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave.
Look it up. That shit is crazy.
That movie should have been PG.
Yeah that's totally g rated.
I believe that in a book they're more leinient on violence and strict as balls on sexual content.
I still stand by the theory that Disney bribed someone for that G rating for Hunchback of Notre Dame
I am the same way about the Hunger Games film. Children get murdered and it's PG-13. Bully, a very important documentary about bullying in schools, was rated R due to a few swears so it can't be shown in schools even though it SHOULD be.
Yes. Swear words are so commonplace in schools aswell...
Or how the comedy movie Eight Grade written to closely mirror the atmosphere of an eight grade class was given an R rating for excessive swearing.
Greg Sanders, eins2001, and LotrSpazz you’re all right on how it’s stupid that a movie like Hunger Games a movie that depicts child murder as a good thing, but yet it’s a PG-13 movie that gets shown in the schools in the United States, but yet Bully a documentary about bullying in the school system is R rated just because of swearing, and it’s not allowed to be shown in the school system even though Middle schoolers and high schoolers cuss up a fucking storm.
@@RoronoaZoro-ur6hr I agree except hunger games doesn't depict child murder as a good thing. What makes you think it does
[Insert current meme here] it depicts child murder as a good thing because the wealthy people are living like hogs, and the poor people are starving without using the use of child murder, so my point was that if you can’t show a movie like Bully because it’s “not school appropriate” then you shouldn’t show Hunger Games for the same reasons.
All Dogs Go To Heaven had alcohol, murder, smoking, death, and a scene where the main character dreams about Hell. What was it rated? G.
Toa Matoro You forgot gambling
because it was portrayed as bad things and not promoting it?
Yes. I wasn’t so intimidated on all dogs go to heaven as a kid. It was to shown kids to be agent drugs and gambling!
That was a shocker, when I saw it. Pinocchio was rated G. Yet it has a scene of children smoking and drinking. Pinocchio seems to get killed by the whale. That is messed up. Back in the day animated movies got away with murder.
And yet Tinkerbell gets a PG rating LOL!!!!!!

Cause it's the "kiss of death" for commercial films. Most theater chains won't show an NC-17 film, and most television networks and newspapers won't run ads for them. It almost guarantees your movie will be a commercial flop.

In Australia, rating's work like this:
G: General Audiences, i.e Innocent kids and family movies
PG: Parental Guidance, family movies that have some mild violence, themes etc.
M: Mature Audiences, movies that older kids/teens *can* watch, but may contain sexual/drug references, swearing (more than just darn or damn) and more 'gritty' violence.
MA15+: Mature Audiences 15+, these are very adulterated movies that are too much for M, but not enough for the next option, these are violent, 'colourful' and even sometimes 'saucy' films that are usually action or horror films.
R18+: Restricted Age 18+, these are movies that contain Sex, Nudity, Gore and other 'GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THERE' triggers, that says it all.
No one will read this comment but thank you if anyone actually cared.
so the rating system for video games?...
And yet people still take their kids to the R rated ones then have nerve to get angry that something sexual or bloody happened on screen that scared their kid.

@@petelee2477 In Hunger Games we literally see two children die in the same scene
Hungar games was Rated PG-13 though and really was intense enough for an R rating.

@@YeetZmeN Aceptable, I think
Instead of having a rating, why not just have a warning label associated with the title?
Like, *WARNING! This movie contains blood and gore, profane language, [etc], parents be advised.*
Just say what the movie contains as a warning instead of putting a general label over it, like we do with a lot of consumer products.
Thats what records have
Well said
If you watch a preview and pause on the rating screen you can read exactly what it's rated for. It's been that way for a long time!
Basically what video games do
Nobody would take the time to read it. A quick label would be easily noticed though.
It's a werid thing i noticed is that in kids media is you can do horrible graphic things to non human characters. The more non human the more can be done.
Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.
That's a very good note that is overlooked. I did a presentation about that once for my college (still enrolled) and used Samurai jack as my example of how non human decapitation and mutilation can be allowed into a children's show (I am not criticizing Samurai Jack, It is one of my all time favorite series).
Yeah, I noticed that with Transformers. They can do all sorts of violence with robots, but with humans, it deserves an R-rating
That's what I've been noticing. If you punch out a human's heart, then it's inappropriate. But if it's a robot, that's cool.

Don't forget kids dying too.
Hunchback of Notre Dame with a G has violence, lust and themes of damnation. Inside Out with a PG has a short clip of Riley's behind. WHAT EVEN.
Maybe it was also the themes of depression and psychology that garnered the PG rating, but even then, they're still great life lessons that should be appropriate for people of all ages.
To be fair Inside Out carried a lot of heavy psychological themes that could be hard for a child to understand (that's why the film's so great because it's a good way to teach them) but yeah, it definitely should have been a G just like Toy Story. Hunchback on the other hand is going surprisingly far into a PG-13 for a Disney movie
tv shows are also having mixed up ratings and such. Family guy censors the "S" word, but shows extremely intense scenes of extreme graphic violence, and it's TV-14 for some reason, but in angry beavers, a character saying "Shut up" had to be censored. It makes no sense
Is that why it's a PG?
And then there's The Black Cauldron, which had scenes of mass graves and ends with the villain's flesh being violently shredded off his bones and his skeleton being sucked into the titular Cauldron.

+kyotheman69 As someone who read the books and didn't watch the movies, I always assumed that the movie was toned down from the books, because they get DARK. Even if they weren't as toned down as I thought, there was some stuff I know they didn't put in it, and that difference could be what made the rating go from R to PG-13
I admit, the subtext and meanings and symbolism was lost on me.

There was that whole "naturalist" scene. You know, that one time in the movie where it was basically hammering your head with how all them animals were basically nude.

Inside Out is PG.
Toy Story 4 is G.
Why aren’t they both G?!
Because the original Toy Story was rated G, so the MPAA automatically rates Toy Story 4 the same. Cars was rated G, as it should have been, there was no adult edge in it. But Cars 2 was also rated G despite having torture scenes and characters being blown up and burned to death, but the original was rated G so obviously the sequel should be too. The MPAA is a total joke.

Finding Dory: Dory is mentality retarded.

You know what other censoring thing didn't make sense?
Is when a character said "Ass hole" but they bleeped "hole" instead of "ass"
Or when someone says "goddamn" and they bleep "god" instead of "damn."
even AVGN talked about that for a few seconds
To be honest, I'd take it a step further. You know what censorship practice doesn't really make any sense? Bleeping out swear words.
Here (and for reference, here is Bulgaria), movies and tv programs generally just follow a much simpler rule. If you're a show that's going to be watched by kids, you don't swear And I don't mean use stupid sounding stuff like "gosh" (or it's equivalent, of course). I mean just...you don't swear. At all. And if it's not going to be watched by kids, you just swear as much as you want, because who the fuck cares?
Bleeping out curse words just makes no sense. Because when a child is watching a movie or a show and they hear a sudden bleep in the middle of someone's dialog, they're of course going to ask their parents or whoever else is watching it with them "why was there a bleep in there?".
I know why it's done, no need to explain, by the way. It's the same reason why basically so many movies movies are PG-13 these days - it gives you access to a broader market, thus it gives you a greater chance for your movie to make back it's money. (interesting how this seems to happen with movies that are, at best, average)

+K McAlpine I remember that movie Super 8 that came out a couple years ago was PG and they said the F-word once, which surprised me because I wasn't expecting it.
I think the real issue is that, back then, the MPAA defaulted animation to the G rating with some exceptions. Now, studios are probably demanding a PG to make their cartoons more marketable to wider audiences who think they’re too cool for animation.
Little kids aren’t even going to understand that adult joke in frozen
I actually never understood that "foot size" joke in Frozen

G- Preschool movies
PG- Literally every single kids movie made today
PG-13- Has distinctive adult humor and violence but it’s pretty mild at best
R- Ouch, there’s a lot of stuff going on
NC-17- Don’t even get me started
Toy Story 4 was just rated G and even 50-year old men cried reading the script.

Mmmmmm tell me about NC-17

No wonder, especially considering that the brain is pretty much a haystack in a nutshell.
I'm sorry, The Dark Knight almost got an R-Rating for DRINKING?
Pirates of the Caribbean is full of drinking rum and it's PG-13. Alice in Wonderland had all that stuff you said and it was a PG. THERE ARE RELIGIONS WHERE KIDS CAN DRINK. I could get the swearing and sex stuff, but DRINKING?! SERIOUSLY MPAA, GET IT TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!
We also can't forget the scene from Dumbo where Dumbo and Timothy get drunk after accidentally drinking champagne. LOL
Shut the fuck up, and calm down.
The Incredibles 2 had a lot of drinking and it was PG.
By 2025 they will give NC17 rating to movies that have females in them for "sexual content"
There's a difference; Dark Knight is modern-based, Pirates is historical based which makes the comparison a bit unfair. Drinking factor was historically accurate.

Frozen and Inside Out: PG??? ._.
but mewtwo was so frikin creepy
omg
I think it's abundantly clear that somehow the MPAA become more careful about dishing out the "PG" rating to movies with something some parents might object to- whether it be creepy stuff that could frighten kids, really dramatic stuff that could make kids cry, adult subject matter that could confuse or misinform them, or crude and brash humor you may not want your kids to pick up on. I think movies like Frozen being PG may be a little too far with this policy. There are hardly any G-rated movies anymore. But I guess for nitpicky parents who want a high level of control over their kids' media lifestyle, I guess it's alright.
I think that in the mid 90's the MPAA was bizarrely eager to give the "G" rating to movies that were really good or had a general all-ages appeal, even if those movies had a few scenes of thrilling violence, borderline erotic sensuality, et cetera. Just look at the Lion King. That shit when aired on Disney Channel is now TV-PG, and for good reasons. Actually, TV-PG is just a tad more "adult" than movie PG has probably ever been, since it covers The Simpsons and Family Feud.
Not mention how Babe got a G rating despite a scene where one the sheep gets bitten and bleeds profusely and fairly terrifyingly. That shit was way too intense for the four year old me. No doubt it would get PG these days. Still a good film.
I agree The Hunchback of Notre Dame had a women get killed by Frollo and when Frollo sings that hell song. And all Frozen has is that foot size joke. Thank god in Canada Frozen is rated G and so is Inside Out and movies like The Raiders of The Lost Ark are rated 14a which is a rating in Canada.
If you dont know The Canadian rating list is
G for movies like Inside Out and Many Disney Movies
C8+ for movies like Despicable Me
PG for movies like Shrek
14A for movies like Independence Day and Raiders of Lost Ark
and finally 18A or R for movies too gory for teens.
Yet in the UK it's...
Inside Out and Shrek: U (equivalent to your G rating)
Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pokémon: The First Movie, Frozen, and the first Toy Story: PG
(Actually, there's probably some consistency there, Idk lol)
Edit: And Watership Down is "rated U", but the director of the BBFC says that it 'would be rated PG today'
lol
Edit 2: Apparently the first Toy Story is a PG here because the BBFC were worried about kids imitating things in the film with matches and fireworks, while the sequels, having no matches and rockets, got U ratings. That makes sense to me, honestly.
Fox entertainment is now under Disney
Disney now has Deadpool, an R rated movie
Disney's Deadpool won't be rated R. As soon as they got it the edited the hell out of Deadpool 2 and re released it as a PG move. And the original films will be shoved onto Hulu so that people won't associate it with the Disney brand, assim I'll ng they don't try to bury them outright
Steven Higgins it won’t be Disney’s Deadpool. Disney owns Fox, just like they own Marvel Studios. They don’t directly produce these movies, the studios they own do. This means that if that if Fox and Marvel Studios wanted to make Deadpool rated R still, Disney can give them permission. Afterall, Disney does own Miramax and that studio makes rated R movies all the time, like the new Halloween.
Apparently they’re planning to make Black Widow R rated
Frozen:
Talking snowmen and fun art styles, with 'love is an open door' and 'in summer'
HoND:
Death, genocide, religion, sex, and discrimination, featuring 'god help the outcasts' and 'hell fire'.
WHICH DESERVED THE PG RATING??

Thing is, Hunchback of Notre Dame almost did get a PG rating, because of the dark themes and whatnot.
@@MasterAnakinSkyWalker it actually is rated pg in australia.

@@shadow4040 mild or not... still death.
It blows my mind that Frozen is rated PG. Absolutely insane.
Should’ve been G-rated. If they wanted to get the coveted PG movie, they should’ve made more movies like Shrek and The Incredibles.
Oh don't let it get to you...just Let It Go!
Same rating as Jaws
They should break PG into two smaller ratings, one for soft PG like Madagascar and one for hard PG like Puss in Boots 2, otherwise parents are going to be upset when their kids watch the new Puss in Boots thinking that it won’t have any dark themes or gruesome deaths.
@@wafflepenguin4440 So what would that make Bambi?
"Sex is bad and violence is good." That's honestly how I think content management is being handled right now.
To be fair, virtually all violence you see in movies, even graphic violence, is all simulated and faked, while a nude scene in a live-action movie often involves watching a real person actually stripping down in front of the camera. And with my experiences seeing how people behave in our culture, people seem to have a very hard time developing a clear understanding of what a healthy and loving sexual relationship is, (at least much more than they do understanding that it is wrong to shoot someone, etc.).
Now I do not exactly believe we should shelter young people from sex or act in paranoid ways that it will "corrupt" them like its the Devil, but I find it understandable that sex is taken more seriously than violence in some ways.
Odd brother as my mother would say:
MLK
More Killing
Less
Kissing
True. I saw a horror movie on tv that edited out the part when I girl took her shirt off, but later showed that same girl getting decapitated.
Thats how it was when I watched Jason X on AMC this Haloween. When the 20th century A.I. teens took off their clothes, the breasts were cropped off frame. When a teen had her head frozen in liquid nitrogen and crushed with the inside of her head showing, that was kept in the program even though it was rated "TV-14 LSV".
Canada's case: "Violence is bad & sex is good." Britain's case: "VIOLENCE IS THE BANE OF ALL EXISTENCE!"
I agree. There should not be a parent present while watching *MR. MCGOO.* There should be no one present while watching *MR. MCGOO.*

Connor R Not all G rated movies are for babies

@@cradica most animated movies are the one that should be G other pg movies similar to home alone should be pg in my opinion
Melon Lord okay
I think Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is more deserving of a PG rating than "Inside Out."
I'm pretty sure Inside Out is G (we call it U) in the UK
What did Inside Out even get a PG rating for? Wait, I can look it up. Hold on, where's Imdb?
*looks*
Ok, so we've got a couple of states of undress far too goofy to be risqué (one naked toddler moment, and one pantsless-in-public nightmare), the word "heck" used three times and Anger's constant attempts to use a profanity which is never actually sounded, and a few slapstick moments which certainly can't be worse than death by impalement, which was the climax of The Little Mermaid, and a dog's body splitting in half, which, if I remember correctly, was a concept for a pretty prominent character in the also G-rated Toy Story.
Someone'd better call the little purple dude in my head, because I am soooooo scared!
Agreed. The "Hellfire" sequence alone should have earned it a higher rating.
@@jaschabull2365 I was thinking the PG rating for Inside Out was more due to the themes of depression than anything else.
@@jaschabull2365PURPLE GUY??????
I read somewhere (can't recall where) that the scene in The Avengers where Loki stabs Coulson was heavily scrutinized, and had to be re-filmed in a certain way so it wouldn't get the R rating.
This makes NO sense if you watch the television series "Supernatural" where humans possessed by demons get beheaded (on-camera) on an almost regular basis.
So characters getting beheaded on a TV show is fine..... but someone getting stabbed in a movie has to be scrutinized so it won't give the film an R rating.
The tip of the spear protruding from his chest was removed for a PG-13.
The far more sensible BBFC in the UK allowed it uncut at 12A (our PG-13 equivalent) because "the image is not dwelt upon and serves an important narrative purpose".
The UK home releases were cut but that was the distributor's fault for including the wrong version, as it was already passed uncut at 12A for cinema.
X Files has even worse violence. Frozen head shattering on the ground, eye balls popping out, faces melting off, rape, lots of eye stuff, children hit by trains, babies buried alive then dissected, an absolute shit-ton of incest, lots of cracking open bodies. Point is, Supernatural is less violent and "mature" then X Files
I swear Supernatural is a 15/R though
One movie that used its PG rating really well was the Incredibles movie.
Especially after watching it again. That movie is really dark.
I'm suprised as how dark it was. could have gotten a PG-13.
The Incredible-s was PG due to more advanced content and developed story line. G rating is basically for little kids.

Sergeant Cyro yeah, no. On a technicality it’s not. Most Christians aren’t that over the top, it’s just that atheists pretend like they are better than Christians.
I got a good one for you. Remember the show Reboot? The animated series done by Mainframe Entertainment. There is an episode when Enzo is having a birthday. When they submitted that episode to be rated/censored. They said Dot's breasts were to large. Even tho they didn't change anything about them from the previous 10 episodes. So they were like "Screw that." and resubmitted the episode 3 more times, each time. Making her breasts bigger. Then finally, on the last submission. They took the breasts down 2 sizes and were OK'd for tv. So in the end. They made them bigger by 1 size and proving how stupid the system is.
Used to love that show as a kid ... although I tried to watch it a year ago ... it did NOT age well at all, I remember it being so much cooler aaah the wonders of childlike nostalgia.
wildefice1 Yeah. Its a little rough at times but I watched it about 3 years ago and I still enjoyed it. Especially the later seasons.

True
Parents should be responsible for their kids. Provide a minimum age rule and remove ambiguous ideas.
It's like when the Deadpool film first got released and there were parents rioting about it having a sex scene, and I'm like, "it's R-rated for f*ck's sake, get over it"
Jargon Madjin "But its a super hero film! Those are for kids!"
Said highly ignorant people.
Ha ha! Not anymore! Adults are taking back the superhero movie!
PG-13 ranges from "Just barely not PG" to "How is this not rated R?"
PG movies like Spider man: Into the spider verse, they would have a good reason to be PG, and some movies like Finding Dory and Christopher Robin, they would make PG seem like a joke.
@@Warrior2044 I thought those were G.
@@legojedi626 They should have. Christopher Robin should be G because there’s nothing wrong with it. And you’d think Finding Dory would be G just like Finding Nemo was.
@@Warrior2044 And don’t forget about Star Wars and Tron Legacy, those have good reasons to be PG. You know the story is dark when it involves people competing in disc battles and light cycle races where the aim is to kill each other. And what about when those stormtroopers killed Luke’s uncle and aunt and their corpses were shown?
And then you get PG-13 movies like Jurassic Park where the rating was completely unnecessary and overprotective. Jurassic Park should be PG. How the hell can people not see this? America’s ratings suck.
It's ironic when the material called "mature" in this day and age happens to be less mature than the stuff made with children as the targeted audience.
Yeah. Apparently swearing and crass sex jokes equal maturity, when its really the opposite.
True. Never thought of it like that.
I know! There's more to being mature/adult than just swearing, crass jokes, sex, alcohol, violence or drugs. Just watch Fantasia.
Tohab A lot of adult cartoons have this problem. But thankfully, they're getting better with shows like Rick and Morty and BoJack Horseman.
Troin don't forget Futurama!
Finding Nemo is G, Finding Dory is PG. Finding Nemo was more intense than Finding Dory.

The American rating system never made any fucking sense:
Guns, teens getting killed. "totally fine"
Sex mentioned, nipple appears, mention of homosexuality. "OH GOD THE HORROR!!!!"
Examples?
Seriously, a lotta people who complain about the MPAA like it has this grand influence actually today in the age of the Internet where people can scrutinize a movie's appropriateness more precisely, act like Happy Feet or ParaNorman got PG-13 ratings. Are you talking about these days recently or yesteryear?
+Daniel Iverson Recently, obviously. People getting gunned down in movies, totally cool. A woman's nipple? Viewers will become evil!
I wish Deadpool level violence was in PG movies
Until that happens I will never be satisfied.
Homosexuality is a subject that can easily get it a PG or PG 13 rating
Hunger Games should be PG-13. Overly sexual, bloody or college humor films should be rated R.
I think how relatable and tempting these themes are contributes to the rating.
Honestly, I feel like the matrix is one of those movies that didn't really deserve an r rating. I could see it perfectly as pg-13, but r is kinda pushing it.
The matrix deserves its R rating. Pointing an automatic weapon at what looks like a police officer and pulling the trigger, causing bloody holes to spread throughout his body is an R rated moment. Also, I can see Jack Reacher being rated R. That movie is surprisingly violent. I love both of these movies, but I really agree with the ratings. The matrix also has a scene where a knife is thrown into someone’s head, and that other scene where that bug thing was sucked out of Neo’s stomach.
Nah dude, Matrix should have been PG-13. Sure, its themes are dark, but there’s minimal language and the violence is fine
In the Netherlands it’s a 12
Maybe even PG
@@jaelie8398 nah
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is another example, rated R for just a guy going in a fit and swearing a couple of times. Nothing else.
A "couple" of times. ;-)
It would've likely been PG-13 if the fit was limited to a few fucks. However, the dozen times gave it a guaranteed R.
Wtf? THAT had an R rating?
But it was so tame...
You can only say "Fuck" in a PG-13 movie *once* in a non-sexual context. That would have pretty much ruined that scene in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; a movie that otherwise would be Rated PG-13 because there no other offensive or disturbing content beyond the mental image of John Candy's hand being "between two pillows" somewhere on Steve Martin's body. ;)
But that scene in PT&A is so totally worth it, it's just an awesome scene and, oddly, probably either intentionally or unintentionally makes the point TNC makes here about the rating system not making sense when one scene filled with a bunch of uses of the "F-Word" overcomes the other 88 minutes of the movie that is totally benign.
*****
I don't get it, though. I've been watching that since I was a kid, that's my family's thanksgiving movie.
Sure, there's F bombs, but kids can understand that, and why it's unacceptable. Indeed, the rudeness is part of what makes his karmic retribution so much funnier; "You're fucked."
I still think that needed a pg13. At the most.
I mean really, that felt like a pg movie.
Did you know My Little Pony: The Movie (a movie based on a toy line meant for little girls mind you) GOT a PG rating for "Mild Action"?... Clearly whoever gave it that rating has NOT watched this video.
I mean they had the perfect opportunity to bring the G rating back into the spotlight... and they give it a PG rating.
I expected that to happen to Cars 3 but MY LITTLE PONY!? And no thanks to that, Cars 3 got a G rating and was not that big of a hit, and My Little Pony: The Movie (which SHOULD be rated G) got a PG rating.
The MPAA rating system can suck my balls!
NCfanboy1 I know, I know. That pissed me off too. I mean, the movie DOES have some intense scenes (Tempest's backstory, the Mane 6 nearly drowning, Storm King's death), but it's not so bad that they need a fucking PG rating.
Lmao, we have to make sure the kiddos aren’t seeing ponies use their horns to blast people.
I got a kick out of that when I had to watch it with my little cousin
LOL I saw that movie because I'm a massive fan of MLP. I have no idea how it got that rating. There are moments in the actual show that have 10 times more "Mild Action" than that movie did!
lol
If it were up to me:
Today’s PG and G would be combined into G. PG-13 would become PG. R would pretty much stay the same but the rules would change a bit.
Maybe lower the age required to see an R film alone to 14 or 15.
Neil Jacob Nacilla and also some PG-13’s would probably also qualify for the R-15

Believe it or not, I think Television has a better rating system than movies... which is *really* saying something. You have the rating, and then a brief summary via a simple letter system that tells you why it got that rating. Example: TV-M-LSV would mean "Mature- Language, sex, violence", that is a lot better than the current movie system. R tells me nothing of your movie. "LSV" tells me exactly what to expect and that it is for mature audiences.
I'm going to edit out everything past "In my honest opinion" I was tired as fuck when I wrote this and I have no idea where it came from. but, if you want to read it, it is copied below.
No idea why I put this in the original comment, but here it is for anyone who gives a shit. "In my honest opinion, I think straight up porn should be more acceptable in society than gore-y, violent films. How many times are you going to see someone get decapitated in real life? I'm not saying you won't, but not everyone will because that is a rather rare occurrence. However, literally *everyone* has genitalia and got here via sex in one way or another, why do we demonize it so much? We wouldn't exist without it."
I don't think violent films should be demonized either.
Derrick Marler I'm not saying we do that either, I'm saying we should stop demonizing sex so much. Neither you nor I would be here without sex, it is perhaps the most important thing for the survival/longevity of our species.
Melting Sky I'd be willing to say that a 13yo should already know about sex, so unless it is straight out pornography, I'd say it'd be ok for a "love scene" in a PG13 movie, full frontal and all. I mean, of course in moderation.
I think the biggest problem with this or many systems is trying to have ratings that apply to everyone. My parents used to be friends with another couple who had a son the same age as me. This kid was the biggest wimp I have ever met. He was terrified of everything. Notable examples include the tunnel scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory, the Street Sharks, literally every resident of Halloween Town in Nightmare Before Christmas, the Foot Clan from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and No Heart from the Care Bears. yup, kid was scared of something from Care Bears. Like, run-from-the-room-shrieking terrified. At the same age I was unaffected to bored by those things, and was already a budding horror junkie. Raiders of the Los Ark was one of my favourite movies when I was 6. My favourite Disney films were, and still are, Fantasia, The Great Mouse Detective, Alice in Wonderland, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, all of which have some content that could get them labelled PG or PG 13 now (sexy mouse dance, anyone?). The idea that any film rating would have reflected what we could both stomach based on age alone is ridiculous.
I used to be scared of No Heart when I was 4. I got over it after one episode.
I nearly died laughing at the things this kid was scared of
They aren't meant to reflect every child, or any child really. They're meant to be general guidelines for parents regarding objectionable material. A child being frightened has nothing to do with ratings. Still, your friends' parents can apply the rating system to him as much as any other parent can. They must know he's a super-pussy, so they'll know all films above 'G' are too intense, and even 'G' films can be iffy. They must be dying of embarrassment. 🤕
13:35 - 13:37
Love him or hate him, Nostalgia Critic is spitting straight facts.
True.
Here's my idea:
YK (Young Kids): Stuff that only very young kids would only enjoy that adults wouldn't (Those Airbuddies movies, Alpha and Omega Sequels, The Oogieloves, Teletubbies etc.)
G: Enjoyable and appropriate for all audiences (Most Disney and DreamWorks movies). It would basically be our current PG.
PG: Use it properly like only for more violent and creepy family movies like Coraline and Monster House for example. I guess that could still stereotype G as being uncool though, sametime I don't think that's much of an issue between E and E10 rated games. Some stuff that was barely PG-13 like 9 and Isle of Dogs could have also worked under this PG.
PG-13: it can stay the same, maybe allow for a bit more cursing though.
R: It's fine.
NC-17: It's fine.
The Buddies movies were my childhood. :’)

I've noticed that some randomly selected Pixar movies in the past few years seem to have more reasonable ratings. For example: While The Good Dinosaur isn't Pixar's best, I think a PG rating is pretty fitting. But people did complain about how the movie's too dark for kids, which ticks me off since most if not all of Disney's films of the Golden age gave kids nightmares as well and they're all rated G! And Monsters Universe and Cars 3 are rated G, too, which I also think is fitting.

the critics mother passed away so the next review is going to be delayed.
he said the Vessel previews would be skipped and he says: they will still be on the site and RUclips on the usual appropriate days, but two Vessel previews will be skipped so we can take the proper time to get our lives back on track with our current loss.
are u serious
+darrius lacy fuck you
what did i do to u
For real? That's so sad.
Australia has a rating system that goes like follows:
G - General. This is approved for people of all ages
PG - Parental Guidance. For kid movies that contain cartoons (Like Adventure Time or Gravity Falls), or live action, more mature films (Like Beauty and The Beast (2017) and Star Wars: A New Hope)
M - Mature. For more edgy movies for older kids. (Pirates of the Caribbean and Most Marvel Movies.)
MA 15+ - Mature Audiences. This is for teenagers and adults. If younger viewers watch this then they must be accompanied by an adult. (Like Deadpool and The Nice Guys)
R 18+ - Restricted. This is usually only for horror movies/shows. (Roanoke and Breaking Bad)
These are also the ratings for games, but R18+ is used much more frequently and PG less so.
Breaking Bad got a MA15+ in Australia lol.
I'm an American, and I think it's a very reasonable rating. I knew about meth at the age of 15, and knew it was bad for you. Breaking Bad actually came out when I was 16. I haven't seen it, but I do know (1) don't do meth and (2) it's a work of fiction. If you can't grasp those two concepts, you're just an idiot.
There should be a "will traumatize adults" rating.
That would destroy the bad movie industry overnight, one of Hollywood's most profitable. Therefore it is a pipe dream.
it's called European X
So...Rated T for "Triggering!!!"?
yeah, I was not expecting lesbian necrophilia and cannibalism... and Keanu Reeves
I remember when I was a kid I didn't find Itchy and Scratchy cartoons violent and now I'm a little disturbed by them.
Then shouldn't video this be called "Does The Film Rating System Mean Anything Anymore?"
I have literally no idea why Finding Dory is PG. There is nothing in there to justify that.
Is it the lesbianism bit, you think?
Would that require a PG rating any more than if it were heterosexuality instead?
I don't know. Probably not, but I heard that bit was double entendre-y in nature. I haven't seen the film, so I could be wrong.
Right? When I saw it, my friend and I were literally the only people in the theater over the age of 7 that weren't parents. It was 100% fine, too. I didn't think there was anything those kids shouldn't be seeing.
For the majority of the time watching the film, I was trying to see where this lesbian stuff was coming from but I didn't. Or at least nothing that was directly pointing towards that. It felt like people were complaining to much about some hinting that felt like it could of been taken in any 2 ways.
no no no critic mr magoo shouldn't be nc-17
it should clearly be an x rating
Nc17 replaced x in 1990
Not an X, but a Triple R!
It's porn?
'The Hunchback of Notre Dame', rated G despite intense torture scenes and on-screen deaths 'Inside Out', rated PG for showing a baby's buttocks 'The Dark Knight', rated PG-13 despite intense violence and gore 'Billy Elliot', rated R for language. These rules don't apply here in the UK but they're still ridiculous nonetheless. Over here, 'The Dark Knight' is a 12A and 'Billy Elliot' is a 15 for similar reasons though!
Ned Grabiec Har Har Har.....in Germany Billy Eliot is FSK 6. That means it is for children aged 6 or older. Language or nudity dosen‘t count in a country where you can see bare breast at 15:00 in the TV. But don‘t use violence. If you have violence in yor movie it is faster rated FSK 16 than you can say Cheeseburger. Except for cartoons or animated stuff. They all get FSK 0 or FSK 6, regardless the amount of violence.
@@MabuseXX I remember someone asked "How was Elfen Lied only 15 in the UK?" Germany was wise enough to give it an 18. It's still rated TV-MA (17+) but that's our TV highest rating.
I’m the UK this is how we rate films
U - universal
PG - parental guidance
12 - age 12 or over
15
18
I’m sure you get the other two
James Kelly in the UK toy story (which is rated G in America) has a PG rating there.
What about R-18?
what if every movie just got a rating of 0 through 17. implying the minimum recommended age of seeing it.
...so basically PEGI's rating system?
That's basically the current system.
that would be ridiculously complicated. They already can't keep the few ratings they have straight.
0, 7, 13 and 17 would be a better system.
Isn't that that the gaming system?
I've never gotten what the big deal was with nudity. Not sex, nudity. Nudity doesn't always equate to sex, you could just be changing clothes or getting into the shower. And yet, to some degree, people will get more upset with that than vicious, horrendous gore, like Doug said. We all know what the naked human body looks like, since we are all humans, and have seen our own naked bodies before, and will most likely see someone else's. So why is this so upsetting to us? Why is disgusting amounts of gore and violence okay, but a nipple, something that is on literally every human being, so much worse?
This especially makes no sense with programs on Adult Swim. i mean, who's supposed to get offended? Adult Swim airs at night, and during the wee hours of the morning, a time when usually, most kids are in bed. And yet, the second someone takes off their clothes, no matter the reason, up go the black censor bars. And yet, they have absolutely no problem at all with intense gore and violence. Are they censoring it for that one type of sensitive adult who is offended by the naked body but has no problem seeing that body being mutilated or in agony? It's just so strange. I guess sadism really is just a natural part of the human mind.
Because it's weird to look at naked people that is why we wear clothes.
I think Adult Swim does it to parody censorship.
At one Robot Chicken episode, Gargamel watches Smurfet bathing naked and her breast is blurred.
He then turns to the camera saying "I don't know why you blur that out. Smurfs have no nipples." and the blur disappears.
Thank you! It's the similar issue with video games aswell! A game can be as gory it can (MKX) but oh man if they show a nipple then it's a risk of having an "AO" rating.
Well, one key difference is that the violence is fake, not real, where as the nudity is real. Not sure why exactly, but there is a difference there.
But why is nudity a problem to begin with? We all have been nude at some point and we all have seen someone of the opposite sex nude at some point in our life.
I mean, I get why someone doesn't want others to see himself/herself being nude. But if the actor/actress in a movie has no problem with being filmed nude, why should we have a problem watching her/him being nude?
For the record, I am not suggesting that everyone should run around nude, I simply don't get why a nudity scene in a movie causes so much fuss.
They really need to go back to just G, PG, and R. It was so simple, and movies didn't care as much about ratings then.
Don't forget X. That rating had a purpose too.
marianne mccrank or make them K for kids.
@marianne mccrank pg-13 was basically for teens who loved the super heroes and dinosaur stuff I thank children should not watch pg-13 movies at all it's the perints who don't read the labels it's like giving a kid gta because it has cars
That’s actually what they do for Manga
Manga ratings
All ages
Teen 13+
Older Teen 16+
Mature 18+
This is how I would make the viewing system.
A - Anyone
A11 - Anyone, if under 11 need guardian
A15 - Anyone, if under 15 need guardian
A18 - Anyone at or over 18
Britain has a similar system
U- everyone
PG- 11ish-anyone
12- anyone 12 or over
15- anyone 15 or over
18- anyone 18 or over
The game rating system also works really well
3- no mature themes
7- some mature themes but little heavy maturity (drugs; sex or coarse language)
12- mature themes
16- violence and heavy mature themes, most horror games are 12 or 16. Also may contain sexual references
18- sex, drugs, violence, etc.
There are also little icons that state what the game actually contains (fear, drugs, coarse language, etc.) And a parental guidance rating for games involving online interactions and in game payments.
Some nerd 157 if under 11 can u not watch of films in cinemas?
@@hobiday5833 family tickets i guess
@@hobiday5833 I think he meant anyone - 11ish
And my game rating system would be...
A - Anyone
A8 - Anyone 8 and up can buy by self
A13 - Anyone 13 and up can buy by self
A16 - Anyone 16 and up can buy by self
AD - only ages of 18 and up can play. Children are not advised/permitted to play
In the Deathly Hallows part 1 when Hermione is tortured they had to cut out that scene because due to Emma Watson's acting in the scene would have given the movie an R rating. Even Helen Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) had to stop to make sure Emma was ok at the end. I know movies now only get an R rating if they have any kind sex, nudity or extreme gore and violence. But an R rating from just acting out an scene were you are in make believe pain is impressive.
If I could, I would change the rating system to:
G
7+
10+
13+
15+
18+
khaledking1019k2 except for the 10+ rating,all of those exist in Turkey.
Funny, you got almost all ratings on my country
khaledking1019k2 so... the European rating system?
khaledking1019k2 how about
G
10+
13+
18+
khaledking1019k2 pg is 8+ so 8+
"Love is Strange" and "Drag Me to Hell" both received 15 ratings from the BBFC. I used to study media law and broadcasting at university so I've always been fascinated by the UK ratings system from the 70s onwards. Never really considered the American ratings system when I was studying it though haha.
It's crazy that Willy Wonka was rated G for implying that there was a possibility that the kids survived while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory had to show all of them make it out alive in order to get a PG rating.
They didn't imply Wonka specifically said that the children would be be fine
@@karstenschoenberg9736 yeah but I mean in the scene you didn't know if he was telling the truth or not and Gene Wilder said himself that Wonka was supposed to seem untrustworthy. I always thought they were fine but it always left it up to the imagination what really happened to them. The Johnny Depp version just overly says over and over again that the kids were totally fine and then showed them come out of the factory which honestly took away from how impactful all the scenes with the kids were compared to the original.
The 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory showed the kids survive and leave the factory because the film was being faithful to what happened in the book, which showed them survive
I still LOVE the fact that earlier this year parents tried to pressure Fox studios into Re-shooting a PG13 Deadpool movie XD Theres a reason it's rated R people! No one wants to sit through a sex scene with a ten year old next to them!
decusq ) PG-13 means that anyone at the age of 13 or over can handle the film by themselfs, i think Deadpool should have been rated PG-13 UNEDITED.
decusq Fuck these oversensitive parents! ...Do you think they're the reason SJWs exist?
Yeah I know about the fact Deadpool almost was PG-13 but their common sense came in and we got a great action/comedy superhero film.
I took my 15 year-old to watch it. I told her to cover her eyes at that part (as she didn't really want to see it, either). But, I knew she was a fan of Deadpool, so I brought her along. In front of us, though, was a guy with his, like... EIGHT year-old son, and didn't bother doing the same, or covering his eyes. -.- Like, seriously, dude? He's not even _near_ hitting puberty, yet.

The Parental Guidance also tells parents that they'll want to see it before they let _any_ child see it, or watch it with them to determine, for themselves if:
1. this is something their particular child can handle
2. it is something they deem appropriate for their child (there is naked Deadpool, and a scene with Ryan Reynolds getting pegged... I think more than a few parents would have issues with this, even for their teenagers)
The R ensures that the parents have no right to bitch about their kid seeing the movie, if they don't approve of the content.
In Australia we have:
G (general)
PG (parental guidance recommended)
M (mature Audiences 15+)
MA (Must be 15 or older)
R (Must be 18 or older
I thought your PG-13 was M
Darth Utah 66 Actually you're right.
G, PG and M are not restriction based, someone under 15 can see an MA film if they're with someone who is over 15.
You have banned GTA5 for violence against women (while there is literally ONE female who dies for the sake of the story. Not even killed, she just dies). You people are very sensitive, it seems.
Ivan Dankob GTA 5 is not banned in Australia...
Holy shit, you're right!
I do have a nipple.
like two of them.
XD
I'm not sure what to say because I'm not sure whether you're male or female.
I think another big part of the problem is deceptive marketing. So often, many studios and filmmakers like to exploit the loopholes of the system to get the most attention for their movies. This was often done by advertising a movie to look a certain way so that the audience thinks they know what to expect, but then something in the movie itself pulls the rug out from under them. While most like to be pleasantly surprised, nobody likes to be deceived or disappointed. So, because too many people got triggered by the deceptive practices of certain studios and filmmakers, the system has to constantly be altered, making it hard for new creators to find an audience.
I gotta agree with you on this NC; why in the hell is something as nightmarish graphic as Drag Me to Hell only a PG-13, but the idea of two men kissing and sleeping in the same bed, fully clothed, an R rating? Does the idea of having to explain to your kid why these consenting adults are living together, kissing, going to bed on one futon but are two men scare parents that much? That's probably the reason.
But more to the point, who would take their kid to see Drag Me to Hell in the first place? I mean, aside from the kind of parent who wanted to punish their child for, say, saying "Poopie!" in school. If the day comes that I'm a parent and I had the choice to show my kid a movie at home, I'll show them Love is Strange. Hm, maybe I'm too edgy to be a parent.
It really matters about timing.
sonowhyzass Love is Strange also has some swearing, which is the only reason why it's rated 15 in the UK (our equivalent of R), the same rating as Drag Me To Hell.
the documentary mentioned here, "this film is not yet rated", goes into detail about this.
basically the ratings board consists of "regular parents". and because of that, they also bring in their own prejudices, resentments and morals.
afair kevin smith is interviewed and mentions his movie "jersey girl", with someone telling citing the scene in which liv tyler talks about masturbation and saying that he has a daughter himself and that (because of that) this scene made him feel uncomfortable.
A movie thats G but should be Pg: The Hunchback of Notre Dame
A movie thats Pg but should be rated G: Inside Out
A movie thats Pg but should be Pg 13: Alice in Wonderland
A movie thats Pg 13 but should be rated Pg: Spiderman 1
A movie thats Pg 13 but should be R: Drag me to hell
A movie thats an R but should be Pg 13: The Kings Speech
Just as an example of how I would rate these films
I Love Inside Out and watched it many times and I still do not know why it is rated PG, I could not find anything in that movie that warrants it
the only conclusion I can find is that if you watch the commentary the orginal draft was going to have a 3rd act and maybe the MPAA gave the PG rating to them on that but still it makes no snese
Spider Man 1 is right at PG-13 - despite the lack of blood the violence is still strong and intense, along with the retribution theme.
It's rated 12 in the UK, with only the fantasy context and positive moral framework keeping it from earning a 15 (our equivalent of R).
A movie that is PG that should be R: Jaws
OK what's wrong with Monsters University. It has a good story about choosing a new path to get to the same destination
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't exactly good either. It never really justified its own existence.
Basically what you said.
It's basically what would happen if the first one met generic college movie.
MU sucks massive ballsack when compared to the first one.
Why compare it to the first one?
