| Questions about the Rating System? (Information from www.filmraitings.com) |
- When did the rating system get started?
(A) The Rating system went into effect on November 1, 1968.
- What is the purpose of the rating system?
(A) The movie rating system is a voluntary system sponsored by the
Motion Picture Association of America and the National Association of
Theatre Owners to provide parents with advance information on films,
enabling parents to make judgments on movies they want or do not want
their children to see.
- Do the ratings indicate if a movie is good or bad?
(A) No; the system is not designed to serve the function of "critic."
The ratings do not determine or reflect whether a film is "good" or
"bad." The system is not intended to approve, disapprove or censor any
film; it merely assigns a rating for guidance--leaving the
decision-making responsibilities to the parents.
- Who gives movies their ratings?
(A) Parents give the movies their ratings-men and women just like you.
They are part of a specially designed committee called the film rating
board of the Classification and Rating Administration. As a group they
view each film and, after a group discussion, vote on its rating,
making an educated estimate as to which rating most American parents
would consider the most appropriate.
- What criteria do they use?
(A) The rating board uses the criteria you as a parent use when
deciding what is suitable viewing for your child. Theme, language,
violence, nudity, sex and drug use are among those content areas
considered in the decision-making process. Also assessed is how each of
these elements is employed in the context of each individual film. The
rating board places no special emphasis on any of these elements; all
are considered and examined before a rating is given.
- What do the ratings symbols mean?
(A)
|
| G |
General
Audience. All ages admitted. This signifies that the film rated
contains nothing most parents will consider offensive for even their
youngest children to see or hear. Nudity, sex scenes, and scenes of
drug use are absent; violence is minimal; snippets of dialogue may go
beyond polite conversation but do not go beyond common everyday
expressions. |
| PG |
Parental
Guidance Suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents
might not like to expose to their young children - material that will
clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are
allowed to attend the film. Explicit sex scenes and scenes of drug use
are absent; nudity, if present, is seen only briefly, horror and
violence do not exceed moderate levels. |
| PG-13 |
Parents
Strongly Cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children
under 13. This signifies that the film rated may be inappropriate for
pre-teens. Parents should be especially careful about letting their
younger children attend. Rough or persistent violence is absent;
sexually-oriented nudity is generally absent; some scenes of drug use
may be seen; one use of the harsher sexually derived words may be heard. |
| R |
Restricted-Under
17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian (age varies in some
locations). This signifies that the rating board has concluded that the
film rated contains some adult material. Parents are urged to learn
more about the film before taking their children to see it. An R may be
assigned due to, among other things, a film's use of language, theme,
violence, sex or its portrayal of drug use. |
| NC-17 |
No
One 17 and Under Admitted. This signifies that the rating board
believes that most American parents would feel that the film is
patently adult and that children age 17 and under should not be
admitted to it. The film may contain explicit sex scenes, an
accumulation of sexually-oriented language, or scenes of excessive
violence. The NC-17 designation does not, however, signify that the
rated film is obscene or pornographic. |
|
- Is the rating system a law?
(A) No, the rating system is strictly voluntary and carries no force of law.
- Can a rating be changed?
(A) Yes, the rules permit movie producers to re-edit their films and
re-submit them in hopes of receiving another rating. Producers may also
appeal a rating decision to the Rating Appeals Board, which is composed
of men and women from the industry organizations that sponsor the
rating system. A two-thirds secret ballot vote of those present on the
Appeals Board may overturn a rating board decision.
- Do all movies have to be rated?
(A) No. Submitting a film is purely a voluntary decision made by the
filmmakers. However, the overwhelming majority of the producers
creating entertaining, responsible films do in fact submit their films
for ratings. All five Classification and Rating Administration rating
symbols have been trademarked and may not be self-applied.
- Who enforces the ratings?
(A) While the decision to enforce the rating system is purely
voluntary, the National Association of Theatre Owners estimate that the
majority of theaters observe the Classification and Rating
Administration's guidelines.
- What else can parents do?
(A) Parents are urged to learn as much about a film as possible before
they permit their children to attend. Reading reviews and feature
articles or speaking with your theater manager and friends are good
ways to gather information in addition to the ratings.
