I haven't seen Coraline to be fair. As for the rest, even The Matrix wasn't great, a lot of the writing direction/plot was cliched commercialism that went against the movies ultimate philosophy. Red Dawn? Come on. That movie was just nationalistic 1980s propaganda trying to bring back the red scare in an era that had to deal with tensions in the Middle East/the cold war instead. What trash. The only movie you listed that was good (and I do say good lightly as, although visually quite freaky, it was ultimately slightly above meh) is Poltergeist. The movie industry is garbage pandering to the arrested development modern audience expecting to watch more "crossing taboos purely for its own shock value sake" garbage. Just admit it already.
I agree that the MPAA is really stupid when it comes to rating some of the movies they view. I've got an example for you...two, in fact. *HALLOWEEN* (1978) This film was rated R. What little blood that's shown is very mild and not frequent at all for a horror film. There are *NO* F-bombs at all. The only sex depicted was covered up by a bedsheet. Hell, you could see something like that in a made-for-TV film! It was scary and had a few jump-scares. But, nothing in this film warranted an R rating. Today, it could've easily passed with a PG-13 rating. *THE FOG* (1980) This film was also rated R. In this case, it's even tamer than Halloween (above) was. There was *NO* blood at all, no F-bombs, and not even any sex at all! Like Halloween, it was scary and also had a few jump-scares. This could have easily passed with a PG-13 rating today. And, even in 1980, it could have passed with a PG rating. Both of those films were unfairly given an R rating for *NO* reason at all. Compare those films above with these films below. *JAWS* (1975) This film was rated PG. Blood and gore far surpass either of the two films above. Let that sink in for a while. You've got dismembered limbs, a corpse missing a freaking *EYEBALL* in one very disturbing scene, and very graphic deaths shown on-screen...one of which was a *CHILD!* All this carnage in a PG-rated film! This should have easily been rated R, even in 1975. *JAWS 3-D* (1983) Like the first Jaws film, this one was also rated PG. Just one year before the existence of the PG-13 rating, this film has even more blood and gore than the first film did! One extremely gross scene shows a badly mutilated corpse...shown in extreme close-up, mind you! When I first saw this scene as a young boy, I reacted pretty much the same way Mike Brody did when he saw the corpse in the film. As with the first film, this one should have also been rated R. In fact, in my opinion, that one scene borders close to an NC-17 rating (or X back then)! *POLTERGEIST* (1982) This film was rated PG. This film was very scary, very disturbing, and contains one of the grossest scenes that I've ever seen. I'd say the gore content matches that of Jaws 3-D above. The scene I'm referring to is when a guy rips his face off (on-screen, no less). We see chunks of flesh coming off with accompanying blood and gore. I definitely gagged when I saw this scene for the first time as a kid. Even today, I still can't watch that scene because it makes me cringe and turns my stomach! This film should definitely be rated R! I could go on and on with more examples of graphic movies being rated less than R, but I think I've proven my point. What I can't figure out is why the more graphic movies were passed with either a PG or PG-13 rating while the tamer movies were slapped with an R rating. It doesn't make any sense to me.
The new ratings system will go like this, PG-12+ (Formerly the 'G' and 'PG' rating) T-14+ (teens 14 and up. the former 'PG-13' rating now discontinued) M-16+ (older teens 16 and above 'light R') and finally R-18+ (Adults only! under 18 not admitted)
Fun Fact: Director Kurt Wimmer made the "EC-10 for Emotional Content" rating in "Equilibrium" as a dig at the MPAA and was worried they`d catch on and cut that key plot point out, luckily they did not in fact catch on and the plot point remained in the film!
I watched my first Rated R movie when I was 16, it was the first Matrix movie. The NC-17 rating used to be X. A few PG-13 movies I've seen or am aware of Harry Potter films 2-8, all the Indiana Jones movies including the one I saw last night, Dial of Destiny and all the James Bond movies are rated PG-13.
America basically restricts everything adult. AO and NC-17 gets too much restrictions. Look at Austraila and UK, the R18+/X18+ and 18/R18 gets no restrictions the X and R18, gets them too, but it's less
It`s because of our cultural puritanism and fear of anything intellectually challenging or that might humanize those we tend to demonize more than we are comfortable with.(I.e. The poor, disabled ,LGBTQIA+ folks and minorities).
Hi, Fudged. The document that you showed was not the actual standards manual that the MPAA uses. _That_ is actually a three-ring binder that lists very specific things. It is not available to the public, but I'm able to tell you that the standards really haven't changed much since around 1986 or so. Here are some examples I _do_ know about: Language is a big one with the MPAA and they actually draw a fairly clear line between "frank sexual dialogue" and "pornographic dialogue". Frank dialogue was Helen Hunt in *_The Sessions,_* a film which was rated R. Pornographic dialogue was Maria de Medeiros in *_Henry & June._* This sucker was rated NC-17, and for good reason, I might add! Nudity is another feature with specific standards that the MPAA adheres to. For example, you can show a so-called full frontal 'beaver shot' in an R-rated motion picture, but the very second you show labia majora from the rear, it's an automatic NC-17 (think *_Monster's Ball_* and *_Basic Instinct._* for example). This is as it should be. The standards for frontal and rear male nudity are quite similar. The violence runs along similar lines, and standards include such things as the number of arterial spurts per attack, realistic severed heads, etc. Think *_Law-Abiding Citizen._* So there's your deep dive, my friend. Peace.🎥🎬
I plan on writing a children's book, and I'm terrified of the book equivalent of the MPAA! It isn't fair to go easy on more successful people, and then throw the book at the little guy! I expect my book to be the book equivalent of PG, because it's meant for kids who are ten to twelve (you know, the bratty age)! I know people will be offended by what I write, but it doesn't justify punishing creators for creating art! To all the rating systems, are you seriously afraid of the big guy getting competition? What if the little guy is more successful than the guy you're protecting? Imagine how embarrassing that would be (2019's Joker)! How embarrassing it must be to be utterly humiliated by a product you demonize! To this video, thank you for pointing out the criticisms of the MPAA! They should be criticized when they pull stunts like the movies I've mentioned, and the movies you've mentioned!
The F-word being in a s-xual context (only censoring because I hear RUclips censors comments) being automatic R isn't even consistent. I watched a film called Deep Impact, from 1998, it's rated PG-13, and it used the F-word as a verb in such a manner. Now, I haven't seen A Ghost Story, but I'd imagine it's similar in use. In the UK, both films share the same 12 rating, Deep Impact for "infrequent strong language and moderate disaster scenes" and A Ghost Story for "infrequent strong language, images of dead bodies"
I think PG got screwed up the most since movies like Finding Dory got a PG, which is the same rating as the Beastmaster (has nudity) and Beetlejuice (has F bomb). Since Finding Nemo was rated G and was arguably more disturbing for a kid, it was more deserving of PG (shouldn’t be rated that however). And they always slap the “thematic elements” onto the rating description which basically says “We don’t know or won’t say why it’s rated PG”
You said that the OT rating has more of a separation from the T rating. I say these are more clear cut because the MPAA’s separation between PG-13 and R is very vague with the only rules being “more than one use of “fuck”. And realistic violence.” From what you’re saying about manga ratings it seems like the rules have more explanation than the MPAA
G=E=TV-G PG=E10+=TV-PG PG-13=T=TV-14 R=M=TV-MA NC-17=AO There are no movie or video games equivalents of TV-Y or TV-Y7 and no TV equivalent of NC-17 or AO. I feel like the movie ratings would be better if they added a Y7 rating. Also I saw a TV-14 show where they actually did say the f word in a $exaul context but it wasn’t on tv.

15:14 "YOU! ARE! A! (BEEP)ING! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!"
That just improved one of my Top 10 favorite movies. :)
Jaws, Coraline, Unplanned, Poltergeist, The Matrix, Red Dawn (Original), etc. Must I go on?

ROTTMNT Movie is TVY7, despite the content
I agree with @davidcolantuono3622
This content has been rated by MPAA!
Rated R: For strong language
My buddies and I rented pulp fiction when we were ten. Told them we were getting it for my older brother. We were ultra bad asses like that 😂

Austin powers movies rated PG 13

For TV TV-MA isn’t restricted either but it’s the equivalent of R there is no NC-17 which is better
America doesn't restrict everything adult. Many Adult manga are found in bookstores like Barns and Noble.
It`s because of our cultural puritanism and fear of anything intellectually challenging or that might humanize those we tend to demonize more than we are comfortable with.(I.e. The poor, disabled ,LGBTQIA+ folks and minorities).

The MPAA desperately needs a PG16 rating in between PG13 and R.
Great video
i love MPAA
Oui
Manga ratings are better
G=A
No ratings=PG(Which is better)
T(13+)=PG-13
OT(16+)=R(There is more of a separation)
M(18+)=NC-17
That’s what the MPAA needs just clear cut guild-lines. Thanks for pointing this out!
@@FudgedupFilms can you explain? I am not saying I don’t agree I’m just not sure what you mean by “clear cut”
