This Film is not yet rated
I just watched a very cool documentary called "This film is not yet rated"It deals with the process of the rating of movies by the MPAA, process introduced in 1968 (did'nt we have that question at Trivia night?!).It is very well done, you learn a lot about the history of MPAA, its founder, the mystery surrounding the raters, the discretionary power of the raters and their "intense"relationships with the big studios, the criteria that are kind of inverted compared to the type of ratings we have in Europe (apparently here violence is not a big deal but pubic hairs are), the process of Appeals, and there again the mystery of the compsition of the board of appeals, the religious representant particpating in the appeals, and finally the rating of this very movie. All that illustrated with very funny and smart examples, really good movie!PS: don't forget to go check out the special features, it is hilarious!http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0493459/
