The US movie ratings system is strictly voluntary and films are not
required to carry any rating at all.  That being said the ratings are
applied by a group of volunteers (how they are picked I don't know).
Therefore the ratings are simply a matter of personal opinion.  In
some respects ratings in the US have become stricter over the years
and in some ways they have loosened up.  I don't know how the
Canadian system works but if it is similar then I would chalk it up
as a difference of opinion.

Subject: RE: [MV] different ratings? -Reply

Referring to  my previous post concerning our US ratings system I have
to say that it does not bother me at all.  Before the system was
established each local community would review and pass/fail/censor
every movie that came through.  It wasn't unusual for the local
priest to make such decisions.    Because of this there were many
areas where certain films were not allowed.  This system pretty much
eliminated that censorship.

Ratings don't affect me personally since I have to honor of being old
enough to see everything but friends that are parents depend on them
to determine if films are appropriate for their children.  I think
that is the real purpose.  The only real censorship that occurs is
based on finances since an NC 17 rating can limit which theatres are
willing to carry a movie.

If a filmmaker is basing his art on how much money he can make off of
it then I have to question his integrity as an artist.

BTW, the TV rating system is set up so producers rate their own shows
and it is a joke in the industry since producers give shows the rating
that they think is best for their own purposes.

Well, a country needs to protect those that need protection (children), so if they
think that particular films or scenes can be harmful, they need to make sure that
kids are not exposed to them. Obviously the boards differ in their estimation what
is and what is not harmful. In the end that is a matter of culture and how highly
you value free speech as opposed to the protection of individuals. It's a tricky
matter, but  the ratings are merely concerned with children and young adults. It gets
unpleasant when countries start to decide that even adults are not allowed to see a
particular film or scene.

Producers shouldn't be allowed to do ANYTHING except sign the check!!  If
they were to do the rating, all movies would be PG or R to make sure all the
young men between 15-30 will come to see it again and again.  It's because

Well, in effect the studio is the first to do a rating. They keep an eye so that the
films will be rated suitable for the targeted audience. There is no use putting out a
children's film when there are such gratuitious scenes in there that children won't be
allowed to see it.

Example: The original version of Disney's Jungle Book contained a scene, were
Mogli is sexually abused by this big monkey King of the Jungle. I won't go into
details, but they are discgusting - believe me. Then there is another one were the
four Beatles vultures attack Bagira (a reference to Hitchcock's Birds) and tear out one
of his eyes. There is more but I can't remember. All these scenes would have lifted
the film to an 18-rating.

Ok - none of this is true. But it could be. You never know. Producers have to make
sure that they can get the targeted audience. I suppose their are no extremely violent
scences in the film about the sinking ship - simply because Leo is known to attract a
lot of younger female teens. A lot of potential audience would have been excluded
from the film if they had kept the scene where Leo seduces the sheep in the cargo.

It was a fierce battle at the box office over the weekend, but
"Saving Private Ryan" took the hill ahead of "Snake Eyes" and
"Halloween: H20" to claim victory with an estimated three-day gross
of $17.2 million. On Sunday, "Ryan" - in its third weekend - became
the eighth 1998 release to gross more than $100 million. Although it
was third-ranked in the marketplace Friday, the commando team
overcame all resistance Saturday and was expected to press on. The
World War II epic directed by Steven Spielberg was maintaining a
healthy $6,640 average at 2,592 screens to bring its cumulative total
to $103.6 million.

Some points in this thread (some may be rumours or urban legands, but still
they make a point):

A G rating is considered the Kiss of Death, except for movies that are
animated or have talking animals (basically Disney movies)

George Lucas is rumoured to have added a few "objectionable words and
phrases" to Star Wars to get the PG rating.  He thought it would bomb with
the G.

From personal experience and what I have heard of elsewhere, 50% of the
revenue in Hollywood is generated by R movies.  Yet, the first R movie sold
mass-market in the US was Speed.

So the movie ratings in the States are used as a sales pitch, and the more
adult, the better.  What was once used as a guide for parents to decide if
they want their children to see a movie is now used to sell that same movie
to the children, as the ratings are not enforced at the theatres.  And some
parents don't trust the ratings, as what was once a soft R might get by
with a PG, and definately a PG-13

Subject: [MV] Snake Eyes review

Brian DePalma (Mission:Impossible) directs Nicholas Cage in a tense
keep-your-eyes-on-the-screen thriller.  I loved how this movie unfolded.
Take note of the length of the shot from when we first meet Cage's
character - it doesn't cut until the first shot is heard (which is a long,
long time!!).  This makes you feel as if you're right there with him - as
if this is some sort of David Copperfield show where he tells you that he
won't change camera shots so you can see everything for yourself and know
that there is no trickery involved.  This is a fun movie to watch as you
are shown some scenes a multiple of times - from different people's
perspective.  Sometimes from the inside of a door - where you learn a
little more of the plot - and sometimes on the outside - where Nicholas
Cage is interrogating another character.  It's a movie where you feel like
you know what's going on - until someone changes the story and you have to
figure it all out again.  Anyway - I'm rambling now - just go see it...I
give 'er an 88%.
