The movie on Monday reminded me of a documentary called This Film is Not Yet Rated. It's about a man named, Kirby Dick and his exposé about the American movie ratings board. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claims that all its members are "average" parents of children ages 1-18 years old. Dick hires a private investigator to track members of the board. You'd be surprised to know who's actually controlling the ratings for all films you and I see everyday. There is an interesting line drawn for what is rated R verses NC-17. For example, any scene with public hair, a female orgasm, or a gay sex scene most likely is always going to be rated NC-17.
I highly recommend seeing this film the next time you rent a movie...
