Censorship In Motion Picture Association Of America

I believe censorship is permissible in certain circumstances. I find it necessary to censor violent and sexual movies for young children. Im one for scary movie and action & adventure, theyre fun to wacth, its excting. But theyre has to be an age restriction on some of these movies espicially now a days where we need more violence and fighting to find somehting exciting and fun. We have become totally immune to all the violence ont elevision. Children however need to be cesnured frmrom thi immunity. Not only will it be more likely for them to have violent tendencies, i find it inhuman for us to put a child through a scne where someone is getting sawed in half. Thta to me is a form of child abuse and torture. Putting your 2 year old child in front of a saw movie is outright torture, children are delicate beings they can face trauma this way. Everythign we see on the media effect our lives in one way or anpther this efdeec is even greatr when started at a young age.

This sort of rating usually subverts common horror ratings as it is very low but this was requested by the film makers. The film starred Daniel Radcliff an actor who starred in the renowned harry potter series of films all rated at 12A so Radcliff’s fans that are usually younger were attracted to the film which aided in it’s lower rating the film makers wanted to appeal to this so the film was not as graphic as some other horror films but some parents and the BBFC still has some concerns for the children watching it at age of 12 because they found that supernatural being convincing children to kill themselves and murdering people would disturb younger children the children who wouldn’t usually watch horror films were brought by Radcliff another scene were concerns were raised was with the woman in black hanging herself from a noose and the young girl setting herself on fire with an oil lamp so they cut certain scenes darkened certain shots and reduced sound affects to achieve the lower rating which is all unconventional of a horror

The data indicates that movies with a PG-13 rating have an average rating of about 3.8 for sex/nudity, 4.7 for violence, and 4.3 for profanity. The rating category with the highest variance is

The MPAA rating system, which was created and is regulated by the Motion Picture Association of America, was set in place to help determine how old you have to be in order to view different movies (MPAA Ratings). This system is supposed to help determine whether a movie is deemed appropriate for different age levels, but most of the age groups are quite broad and how a person views the level of appropriateness can be biased. The current rating system was created in 1968, which replaced the original system called, “The Production Code” (also known as the “PCA” or the Production Code Administration) (Rocchi). Not all systems are perfect, which is why this one was revised and eventually turned into the more recent MPAA rating system.

All it will do is make them want to watch the movie more. Rating and cencering a movie is easy but, stopping underaged people from watching is hard. Just because the rating is put on the movie and a age is applied doesn’t mean kids and teens won’t watch it at all. What adults aren’t seeing is that youth listen to everyone. Youth picks up on things and can easily learn about explicit

In 1968s, a voluntary rating system was set up for keeping the youngster from seeing undesired or unsuitable film. This system is called the MPAA (the Motion Picture Association of America). Based on “This Film is Not Yet Rated” (2006), inside of the MPAA, there is an anonymous group of parents gather to rate films. They give out the final rating result out like: G, PG-13, NC-17, R, and PG. Basically, G means all ages admitted; PG, there are some material may not be suitable for children, parental guidance suggested; PG-13, Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13; R, under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian; NC-17, nobody 17 or under should be admitted. Filmmaker must submit their films to the MPAA, then, MPAA

I love rated-R movies because they are actually interesting and keep me in the edge of my seat. If this movie wasn't as blunt as it is I probably wouldn’t like it. Usually I would recommend R movies to 10 and up, but I saw it before when I was younger. I had no idea what was going on, and I didn’t understand the message it was sending. So I would probably recommend it to 14 and up, for some children won’t see the message. MPAA rated Training Day rated-R, for it’s brutal violence, pervasive language, drug content, and brief nudity. Overall this is a entertaining movie that doesn’t disappoint. 9/11 would watch

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the people in charge of what you and your family can and cannot see at the theaters. The idea of the system is quite helpful. They regulate the amount of violence, sex and nudity, and coarse language that is allowed in a G, PG, R and NC-17 ratings. They determine the ideal age group that will watch the movie and the age group that is not permitted to see it. In retrospect, movie ratings are great and quite helpful when deciding to what a movie with your parents and younger siblings as oppose to watching a movie by yourself or with friends. Yet, not everything is perfect. There are multiple issues with the MPAA’s rating system. The fact that ratings do not always accurately reflect the content

The individual rating types are also not a good portrayal of the movie as a whole. Bully was a perfect example of this. Amanda Kehrberg from the Phoenix New Times says “The R-rating is based on a handful of swear words used by students in the film who, by the MPAA's standards, wouldn't be allowed to watch

The film explains that members of the MPAA’s review board have children between the ages of five to seventeen according to the MPAA. The MPAA asserts facts like these to convince the general public and opponents of the rating system that the system’s members are just plain, common and everyday people. The MPAA presents this specific fact in the movie, but, the film’s director, Kirby Dick, proves it to be untrue. Dick hires a private investigator to figure out the identity of the members of the MPAA’s review board. The conclusion of the investigation in the film reveals that the MPAA’s fact about their member’s kids ages are false and not in just one instance. The discrepancy between the

    During the last decade, media ratings have been used as a means of addressing concerns about "objectionable" or potentially harmful media content. Politicians, entertainment industry leaders, and parents alike have turned to media ratings as a "middle ground" to such concerns somewhere between direct government censorship and not addressing the issue at all. While movie ratings have been in place for several decades, there was a trend in adoption of a rating system for media such as television. The advent of content blocking categories technologies, such as the V-chip, which requires some form of attendant rating system to be useful, has furthered spurred this trend. There is

What is the true definition for a rated PG-13 movie? My definition is Romeo and Juliet.The Motion Picture Association of America(MPAA) definition is if there is any language, violence,nudity, drug abuse, or strong sexual affection. Romeo and Juliet hit on 3 points violence, drug abuse, and the love scenes.

The Motion Picture Association of America, also called the MPAA, is the gathering of individuals who rate the motion pictures we watch and appreciate. In any case, the question is; is it true that this is alleged rating framework defective? The rating framework for cutting edge gatherings of people is skewed by an obsolete specific conviction framework, there are no standards or rules to rating a specific motion picture, and the entire thing is simply pointless these days.

The Classification and Rating Administration (CARA) is a purely voluntary system supported by The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Association of Theatre Owners (Crecente). The CARA is funded by film distributors and producers who pay a fee to have their film rated (“MPAA Movie Ratings”). The debate on whether the CARA system works or not is highly debatable. I, personally, think that the system is very functional. This system provides parents and other audiences with a recommended rating for a movie. It is a person’s choice on whether or not to deem that rating as appropriate enough for children or others but, they at least have a general idea or understanding of what the film could entail.

In order to establish a group that censors televisions and movies, the Motion Picture Producers Association (MPAA) was created. Each rating category has a description of the appropriate age at which to view the film and whether or not a parent’s accompaniment is necessary. The Motion Picture Producers Association assesses a film and gives it a rating of G (general audiences), PG (parental guidance suggested), PG-13 (parents strongly cautioned), R (restricted), or NC-17 (no one under seventeen admitted). As the film industry has been changing over time, so have the ratings. More and more parents are having issues with the ratings that some films are issued. “The man behind the ratings, Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), says the system works just fine. ‘Parents use it and trust it, and that's why it's lasted for almost 35 years,’ Valenti says. ‘It warns parents in advance about what's in a particular movie, but ultimately, parents are responsible for the behavior and conduct of their children — not the ratings system’ (Hansen 273).”
