This Film Is Not Yet Rated


A very amusing and informative mocking documentary about the Motion Picture Association of America which has taken the responsibility to rate films. The director provides a nice overview of how the MPAA rates films and why they are accused of being prejudiced against some topics portrayed on film. They like violence but hate sex. Did you know that a Catholic and an Episcopal priest view every film screened by the MPAA. That's just messed up. Why do those mokes get to see all the films and probably get paid for it? Even more disturbing is the fact revealed here that the MPAA appeals board is made up of the major film exhibition companies. It's a wonder any of us get to see any independent films at all.
Favorite moment: The director delivering his film revealing the secrets of the MPAA to the MPAA for a rating.

Film # 83
