I've never really thought about it too much, except like 2001 being G and Napoleon Dynamite being PG --- Not that I didn't think they deserved the rating. Especially 2001, because the only violence is National Geographic style, and I don't think a kid could comprehend, or find it disturbing the way an adult would. Compared to stuff in like, say, Labyrinth, 2001 is so perfect for little ones exactly because of the music, and I'll add the symmetries. It's funny though, because on the other hand, I think a movie like Napoleon Dynamite would be more serious to a little kid. I don't see them picking up on the intended humor like an adult, but I think it would still be appropriate, maybe you wouldn't want them picking up those catch phrases or mannerisms, but that's a whole nother story. Gawd. So aside all that, I think sometimes it's what the kid is going to pick up from the movie. Something like The Matrix is a little more confusing for a kid than like Million Dollar Baby, which a kid would probably not want to watch anyway. The US seems so much stricter though. I really wish they'd just explain what was in the movie and leave it at that. The differences between PG and PG-13 are all over the place. And how the hell Speed Racer and Bee Movie are rated the same blows my freaking mind. (It's because Bee Movie has a scene of smoking...) I like the intent of ratings, but not how marketing and lobbying play such a huge part in how the movies are judged. |
