charliesmumWhy is it, a movie that has an slightly unconventional sex scene is being tagged with an 'NC 17' rating (which would make the movie off limits for viewers younger than 18)but a movie like Four Brothers is only 'R' and is chock full of violence?
Now, I've nothing against violent movies* for them that like them, but why is a shot of naked people more troubling for the youth of the world than multiple people being blown up in cinematic ways?
Why was it not okay for Janet Bloody Jackson to flash her nipple, but it's okay for Pat Robertson, a purported Christian, to call for the murder of another human, even if it is just theoretically?
Sometimes the world really makes me sad.
*Well, actually I do. I don't like them, ergo I don't go see them, and, despite the fact there's the chance to see Colin Firth naked, I'm not 100% sure 'Truth' is a movie I'd rush out to see, since I like my films mostly funny and considerably lacking in murder.
