    The advertising director assumes that increasing the budget for advertising will lead to greater awareness of quality movies and potentially larger audiences. The first contention against this lies in factors which are unaccounted by the memo for alternative reasons of fewer box office sales. Fewer ticket sales could be the general effects from an economic recession. It could also have to do with increasing amounts of movie-goers seeking online movie services as an alternative form of entertainment. If either of these is true, the premise of few people being aware of quality movies is irrelevant. Many consumers may be aware of Super Screen movies, but may just choose not to see them for financial reasons…

    Seven years ago, filmmaker Kirby Dick released an eye-opening documentary entitled “This Film is Not Yet Rated.” In it, Dick launched an investigation into the secret review board responsible for the classification of films under the Motion Picture Association of America's umbrella ratings policy. In addition to arguing that the MPAA reacts more favorably to films financed and backed by Hollywood studios while penalizing independent filmmakers, “This Film is Not Yet Rated” highlights the hypocritical attitudes centered on violence and sex, particularly sexual acts depicting homosexuality or female empowerment. Not surprisingly, the MPAA responded by slapping “This Film is Not Yet Rated” with an NC-17 rating of its own.…

    This movie should not be rated PG-13 because of violent languages and adult consents. “F words” are frequently used by high school kids throughout the movie and as well other abusive languages. Joanne Cantor who is Ph.D. has reported that “Seeing is believing for children” (Grossman, Dave, & Degatano, 1999). It is possible to conclude that when children see sexual or violence scenes, they begin to believe that those are the ways they should believe. Many scenes in this movie are not appropriate for children and they should not be allowed to watch…

    The MPAA had a very negative feeing about this film; in terms of violence and language used, language was the bigger issue. Several cuts of the movie were made in order to try and get an acceptable rating. There were three cut made and each one got an “X” rating. De Palma made a bold move and went to the press to complain about the MPAA is butchering this movie. He then prepared to go to court. De Palma got psychiatrist specialist to provide means of how children would be affected, as well as getting the head of organized crime from Miami to explain that it was anti-drug film. De Palma won the case and MPAA change the rating on the third cut from an “X” to an “R”. When submitting the final cut, Stone actually told them to send the first original cut and that is what shown to everyone in theaters.…

    Beetlejuice Analysis

    The film I’m going to be reviewing is called ‘Beetlejuice.’ Beetlejuice is a 1988 Tim Burton film, starring well-known actors such as Michael Keaton, Jeffrey Jones and Winona Ryder. The film is rated as a 15, for the use of bad language, although it’s mild, violence and sexual references. However, I would say that this film should be rated 12A, because although there is some bad language and mild scary scenes, I think that the film overall isn’t as bad as other 12A films, The Woman in Black being a prime example.…

    A rating system for film has been around for quite a while. Since 1926, the film industry has been rated in some manner. Back in 1926, much more was banned sexually and in terms of violence. “For almost 40 years the US film industry was governed by the Motion Picture Production Code, which banned nudity, drug use, religious ridicule, disrespect for the law and other depictions in film that would have the effect of lowering society’s moral standards” ( Feiser, np). Many movies back them were quite subtle compared to today’s day and age. Many filmmakers didn’t get adventuress and stayed well within the parameters of the rules because our society was more modest and pure. There was a much harsher strain on sexuality. “Romantic scenes were heavily scrutinized to uphold ‘the sanctity of the institution of marriage’ and ‘excessive and lustful kissing,…

    The Motion Picture Production Code, made to control the making of talking, synchronized and silent motion pictures, in order to provide wholesome entertainment to the public. There are twelve sections including Crimes against the law, sex, vulgarity, obscenity, profanity, costume, dances, religion, locations, national feelings, titles and repellent subjects. Under Crimes it said that no movie should be produced that will lower viewers moral standards or lead them to sympathize with the side of crime, evil or sin. The technique of murder, brutal killings, revenge and methods of crime including theft, safe cracking, arson and dynamiting should be shown with little detail in a way that will not motivate imitation. The use of liquor and firearms should only occur when they are vital to plot or characterization and illegal drug trafficking and methods of smuggling should never be shown. Under the section governing the use of sex it says that motion pictures should not imply that low forms of sex are common or accepted in order to uphold the sanctity of marriage. Excessive kissing, lustful embraces, suggestive gestures, sex perversion, sex relationships between white and black races, white slavery, sex hygiene, venereal diseases, scenes of childbirth and children’s sex organs should not be displayed or inferred. Unless they are a necessary part of the plot, adultery, scenes of passion, seduction, and rape should not be suggested and should never be displayed. The treatment of disgusting, unpleasant subjects should show good taste. Obscenity in word, gesture, or by suggestion- including pointed profanity such as god, Jesus Christ, and lord- is forbidden. Complete nudity, costumes that permit indecent or undue exposure are also not to be shown. Dances that suggest or represent sexual actions or excessive passion are…
