The film we saw this week really made me question what is happening to our rating system as of late. It was quite an enjoyable documentary and I did like it but looking at the way movies are rated now compared to what was shown in the past and how times change. Things like Saw and Hostel are coming out and it is hard to believe they are actually considered "film" because of their content. The inefficency and lack of consideration that the board has within itself is a display of the inefficency of our society today and how things must go around in circles before they are completed. Also the fact that these board members have no teenage or younger children was quite interesting to me, and i think it helps them decide on ridiculous ratings for movies that are being made now. This also showed what the mainstream media thought of new subjects, the dislike of sex and homosexuals on film. It would seem that our culture isn't fully ready to accept these ideas even though they are so prevalent in our time.
