3)What is the American Film ratings?
It helps parents to determine what films are suitable for their children to watch.
4)What does each rating mean?
- G-General Audience-This rating means the motion picture is safe for all ages to watch as it doesn't include any inappropriate screenplay i.e. bad language, nudity, drug use.
- PG-Parental Guidance Suggested-This means that the film may include some explicit material that may not be suitable for younger children. This rating tells the parents that the film should be inspected before the children can watch it. There might be slight snippets of violence and brief nudity, but nothing too harsh. There is no drug use.
- PG 13-Material Strongly Cautioned-The material in a PG 13 film might only be suitable for a child above the age of 13 to watch. With this rating it tells us that there could be use of drugs, harsh language and nudity. If there is any nudity, it generally isn't sexually orientated. There may be violence in a PG 13 rating, but nothing realistic, extreme, or persistent.-Children under the age of 17 require
- R-Restricted-Children under 17 are advised to have parental consent-This rating will include some adult material. This would include adult themes/activity, hard language, persistent violence, drug abuse and sexually orientated nudity, parents should take this rating very seriously. Parents are strongly advised to check the content of an R rated film to determine the suitability of the film for their children.
Toy Story 3-G-This is an appropriate rating for this film as the content is acceptable for all ages to watch. It is made for the entertainment of young children, so it doesn't include any inappropriate screenplay i.e. Nudity, drug use, bad language.
Adventures of Shark boy and Lava girl-PG-This film has been rated as a PG because it depicts mild action and some rude humour. This is a sensible rating to give this motion picture as small children shouldn't be introduced to any sort of action or violence at such a young age, and they probably won't understand or enjoy it anyway.
The A-Team-PG 13-There is a lot of intense action and violence in this film which is why it has been given a PG-13 rating. It has some drug usage (tobacco) throughout this film, and although this is a legal drug, it is unsuitable for any young children to see this as they might persevere it as a good thing, as the good guy is doing it. Children 13 or over are a lot less likely to think like this, which is why this is a suitable rating.
About Fifty-R- This is the lowest rating I'd expect to see on a film like this due to the use of bad language, drug use and sexual content. This film shouldn't be viewed by any child under the age of 17 because this sort of content is seen as too harsh and inappropriate for that age group.
Decent-NC 17-This film has been given this rating because it includes a brutal rape which is completely unacceptable material for anyone aged 17 or under to watch. This rating is showing that the content of this film is only suitable for adult viewers which I think is a good decision.
Why do they rate films?
-Movie ratings provide parents with advance information about the content of movies to help them
determine what movies are appropriate for their children at any age.
