Documentary Exposes MPAA Hypocrisy
The Salt Lake Tribune carries an interesting story today, Documentary exposes ratings board's hypocrisy.
The article discusses a recently released documentary, This Film Is Not Yet Rated, that highlights the hypocrisy in the movie ratings system, specifically when it comes to sexual content. Similar charges have regularly been leveled at the ESRB.
Through interviews with filmmakers who have gone through the process, and illustrated with clips from the offending films, Dick shows what I and many critics have been saying for years - that the reasons why the MPAA assigns ratings are arbitrary, and reveal a pattern of biases that go beyond the ratings board's stated mission of protecting children.
