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

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 MPAA’s movie rating system has been progressively allowing movies to teach children immoral values and something must be done to fix this. The different topics on which the MPAA base their ratings on have skewed standards. One

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.

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

One of the major reasons why the MPAA rating system is unfair is the fact that everyone has different views on violence. The rating system is designed to measure how different parents react to different types of movies and by doing this, every parent will react differently depending on their opinions towards what is being shown (Wilson). Some parents are okay with a little violence while others are more strict. Another example is video games, some parents may allow their child to play the more violent and gory games while other parents strongly prohibit their child from playing those games; the same thing goes for movies; it just depends on how the parent feels about the subject.

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

Nowadays, people all around the world learn and get their influence from mass media. Also, America is the country that has the most access to any mass media. However, mass media type like PG-13 rated movies have been in question for triple gun violence contents since 1985 (Wilson & Hudson 2013). In 2012, the contents of gun violence appeared in PG-13 rated movies exceeded to the contents in R-rated movies ( Bushman 2013: 1017). Since the movies were rated as PG-13, children who are younger than 13 years old can easily have access to the violence contents in the films ( Bushman 2013: 1017). By exposing violence contents in PG-13 rated movies, young teenagers might act out those violence materials in real life. In addition, PG-13 rated movies earn 45% market share with high-grossing movies (Wilson & Hudson 2013).

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.

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

I have watched a considerable number of movies this semester so it was hard to choose which one to analyze. It came down to “Remember the Titans” or “Good Will Hunting”. However, the movie that I will be analyzing is “Good Will Hunting”. The reason I chose this movie is that it can be analyzed in many different ways. I will be analyzing different scenes of the movie and analyze them from different angles. I will be analyzing about the symbolism that is happening in the movie. I will be analyzing many different things about the movie. The first thing I will analyze in this movie is the symbolism of things, objects, colors, and

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.

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

. 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. This trailer emphasizes the roles of woman in society during motherhood, moreover, by leaning towards the contrast of a “perfect” mother. Mila Kunis’s character, Amy, is a member of a society that houses the ideal perfect mother. In which, she struggles with following the guidelines that allude to a perfect family. Therefore, a group of friends and Amy liberate themselves from the stereotypical life of a mother after they become too stressed out. In the trailer Bad Moms, the director uses a sundry of visual, diction, and satirical devices to emphasize the overall message of motherhood into the premise of this trailer.

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).”
