PG Rating

[McCulloch]

Should the movie ratings people put a warning on films that are too evangelistic?

The Motion Picture Association of America is crystal clear when it describes why its "PG" rating exists _ it's a warning flag.

"The theme of a PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance," states the online explanation of the rating system. "There may be some profanity in these films. There may be some violence or brief nudity. ... The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is thus an alert for examination of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their children. Obviously such a line is difficult to draw."

Disagreements are a given. The Christian moviemakers behind a low-budget film called "Facing the Giants" were stunned when the MPAA pinned a PG rating on their gentle movie about a burned-out, depressed football coach whose life _ on and off the field _ takes a miraculous turn for the better.

Which "thematic elements" earned this squeaky-clean movie its PG?

"Facing the Giants" is too evangelistic.

The MPAA, noted Fuhr, tends to offer cryptic explanations for its ratings. In this case, she was told that it "decided that the movie was heavily laden with messages from one religion and that this might offend people from other religions. It's important that they used the word 'proselytizing' when they talked about giving this movie a PG. ...

"It is kind of interesting that faith has joined that list of deadly sins that the MPAA board wants to warn parents to worry about."

[T]he scene that caught the MPAA's attention may have been the chat between football coach Grant Taylor _ played by Alex Kendrick _ and a rich brat named Matt Prader. The coach says that he needs to stop bad-mouthing his bossy father and get right with God.

The boy replies: "You really believe in all that honoring God and following Jesus stuff? ... Well, I ain't trying to be disrespectful, but not everybody believes in that."

The coach replies: "Matt, nobody's forcing anything on you. Following Jesus Christ is the decision that you're going to have to make for yourself. You may not want to accept it, because it'll change your life. You'll never be the same."

Actually there's penalties for allowing children access to "smut".

Are you sure? The PG-13 rating allows for brief full-frontal nudity, and kids can get in with no adult supervision.

I agree with you. full-frontal nudity is smut.

This is just another attempt by Hollywood to snuff out god's truth.

How do you spell conspiracy theory? Hollywood is not out to snuff out God's truth. Hollywood is out to sell movies.

They deem christianity to be unsuitable for minors while every day the bar for sex and violence falls lower and lower. Even G rated Disney movies contain thinly veiled smut,

Your definition of thinly veiled is quite different from the rest of us.

proving that in today's world you can expose children to sex as early as you please, but exposing them to god deserves a warning sign.

Sex is a part of what each of them will do when they grow up. There is no reason to make it a secret to children. God on the other hand, is completely dispensable and increasingly not needed. Would you have Hollywood expose children to all the various gods or just the One True Godâ„¢?

The Bible is the most important book a child will ever read, without it they become misguided.

Many disagree with your opinion on that. Do you advocate removing the children from misguided Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sihks, Jews and non-theists so that they can get this wonderful guidance?

The PG-13 rating allows for brief full-frontal nudity, and kids can get in with no adult supervision.

I don't know any kids who would be harmed by seeing brief full frontal nudity, do you?

Every Disney movie I've seen contains some filth; like when a female bird in Bambi exposes her breasts, or a split-second flash of a naked woman in The Rescuers, or when Simba flops down in the dirt in The Lion King and the word "SEX" forms clearly in the dust as a form of subliminal messaging to encourage children into sinfulness. I've written several letters to Disney about the pornographic undertones of their movies and have yet to receive a response.

Wow, can any one say parody?
I just had chicken breasts the other day and even while cooking then I felt nothing sexual.
This reminds me of the Victorians that had all those ugly chair and table legs as to not turn on the men.
It might be you suffer from some unhealthy view of sex and maybe your own sexuality that you might end up giving your children with out the rational approach you display.
Bird showing it breasts? Was there a nipple? Birds are not mammals your know?
