Review of This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006) by Elvia F — 17 Jan 2014

The fact that oral sex toward a female and female sexual pleasure is rated NC-17 while a blowjob and a male sexual experience is rated R is complete b.s. and it promulgates sexism and ignorance within the American culture! A lot of American films are anti-women, especially those crude-humor films marketed to teenagers.

I mean "Scary Movie" (rated R) is far more offensive/vulgar and misogynist than a lot of these films rated NC-17! It's absolutely obvious that the studios work in conjunction with the ratings board to ensure their film is marketed to the masses, while independent and art-house filmmakers are thrust out of the limelight.

This is such an insightful documentary about the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and I highly recommend watching it - not only for film buffs and aspiring screenwriters/directors, but also for anyone who wishes to learn the truth about how the motion picture industry's ratings are run.
