The Good Son: Movie Analysis

The film industry was like a toddler learning to walk. The community found it necessary to guide that walk according to its beliefs and values. Above all, a concerted effort was made to protect children. That was perhaps the good thing that arose out of the censorship of the early film theaters content. It is easy to understand the logic and the need to monitor content that would have an impact on children

In terms of violence in E-rated video games, I believe it's up to the parent to decide whether or not their child could play the game. Most E-rated games are either sports and racing games so there's not that many violent moments during the game. Of all the E-rated games they studied, 21.3 percent of games have animated violence, which is a lot tamer than realistic violence. For example, both Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, while they do have violent moments, are less violent then Grand Theft Auto or Gears of Wars. Now there is a new rating which is E10+ and it's for anyone who is 10 years and older. Again, it's the parents job to know which game is suitable for their child and not buying them whatever game they see on the shelve.

The good lie is a movie about a refugee family from war ridden Sudan. They begin as children trying to fight for their lives on the way to safety, losing a brother along the way to a group of soldiers. When they finally reach the refugee camp they find: a safe place to stay, warm food, and new clothes. Shortly after their arrival they lose yet another brother. They patiently wait for a plane ticket out of Sudan, and after thirteen long years, they get their chance. They bored the plane excited to see what is in store only to find out their sister will not be staying with them. The three brothers depart from their sister with a lady named Carrie Davis. They face many new challenges together along with any

As a society, we have been ingrained to reinforce the shame, privilege, and stigmatization towards people of diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations. Kevin Jennings, author of Mama’s Boy, Preachers Son: A Memoir of Growing up, Coming Out, and Changing Americas Schools, directly connects the intersecting challenges of sexual orientation, religion, education, and poverty. Though the intersection of these social issues leaves one to internalize the ideology of inferiority, Jennings demonstrates the need for social justice, the understanding of the mechanisms of oppression, and conquers cultural competence by sharing his unique differences.

Not only do you have to be 17 to see an R rated film, cutting out 22% of moviegoers in 2014 completely, but that R rating also carries a bad connotation with it, deterring others who might have seen it if it weren’t rated so harshly.

Some parent’s argue that the book should be banned but their argument can be overturned. Parents continue to argue about the violence that the book has, but they soon are going to have to notice that the world is filled with violence and if you’re going to ban a book because of the PG-13 violence in the book you should think about what revolves around you every day. The opposition also argues that the book causes nightmares but without evidence that the book was the thing that cause the child to have the nightmare or was it something that your child seen on TV before bed or thought about we will never no because there’s no evidence the book caused the nightmare. Parents in the situation seem as if they want the best for child and try to avoid and hide their child from the violence but as they grow older there are going to be more harsh violence around them in the real world and the book I think is preparing and maturing them for the

The ratings “PG-13” and “NC-17” were added to resolve the issues of people complaining that some PG-13 movies were too violent and because the NC-17 movies had such mature content in them, it surpassed the “R” rating (Rocchi).

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

Year 11 English: AS 90854 (1.10) Form personal response to independently read texts, supported by evidence.

Richard Linklater’s Boyhood leaves the audience questioning, asking, and wanting more. The entirety of the film is a recollection of memories and experiences throughout the course of Mason’s childhood. Overall Boyhood is like an unsolved puzzle with missing pieces that aren’t enough to solve the puzzle. The entire movie is questionable and has so many gaps in-between each memory that there really is no plot. Since there isn’t a plot it makes you question if it is really about boyhood, about family, maybe Mason’s childhood, or girlhood. Certain questions begin to formulate like, why doesn’t Linklater use the typical format of storytelling during Mason’s childhood? How come we never know what happened between Oliva and Mason Sr? Why doesn’t

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

. In today’s society, certain stereotypes have been established towards a myriad of classifications. The separation of gender roles has affected the diplomatic expectation mothers face, whereas Bad Moms (SNX Entertainment), has depicted the standards of a mother in a comical stance.

If a movie is rated 12A, it means children under 12 can watch the movie if they are accompanied by an adult. There have been many complaints about some movies that are rated 12A due to the content in the films. The complaints are mainly about that children under 12, should not be exposed to some of the content included in the movie. Very popular films such as ‘The Bourne Identity’ and ‘The Dark Knight’ are rated 12A. However, these two films are considered by many people as to have been classified as a too low of an age rating, and they should have been rated higher. Children from as young as the age were brought along to watch the movies with suitable adults because the 12A rating allows them to have access to see the movie. A great deal of

First, some movies are rated R because of violence. “A percentage of kids these days play games on gaming devices that have violence and blood in them”.
