Movie Ratings...please somebody explain this to me....
(R)[but of course, there are little kiddies of all ages including that 10 year old hiding his eyes sitting next to his "older" sister of 17, and somehow their "parents", if they're still together that is, let them go see it ALONE, and somehow they got in ALONE]---In this film seven teenagers are brutally and graphically murdered by a sociopath welding a chain saw.[Wes Craven, you're "such a master of the medium of cinema"]
(NC-17)-[no one under 17 better be in the theater, boy]---In this film two consenting adults reveal their nude bodies, have stylized intercourse, and later discuss their reasons for splitting up.[usually in french(spit) w/english subtitles, of course]
Okay, I don't really need an explanation here. I just wanted to make a sociological observation. I know why it is.....at least I THINK I do!
(BTW...I DON'T advocate EITHER film being seen by children under 17...matter of fact...I don't advocate anybody of ANY AGE seeing EITHER film...they've both been done to death...so to speak...I mean, where's Jimmy Stewart when you need him?)
