Review of This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006) by Edgar T — 17 Jul 2010

Its a very informative film, but it only tells one side of the story. And while I agree with a lot of what is said, and promoted in the film by the (Potagonist?) I will admit that the film is horribly one sided.

*Spoiler*.

The MPAA hardly get to explain their side of the story, and hardly get to defend them selves in this film. they just get relentlessly bashed for the most part.

Some of the methodes devised and acted out by Kirby Dick and his "accomplices" (because I really don't know what else to call them.) were down right seedy. I'm talking about their spying on people within the MPAA whos identies were held secret for... for all I know was good reasons. People who I believe didn't really have much to do with the ethics of the MPAA as much as they were chosen because of their background to rate movies in which would be seen as suitable for that movie by mainly the MPAA's standards. People who were stalked by Dick and his crew, filmed and exposed all over a movie. A movie that is not only baised itself but disrupts the system that was set up to keep those who were rating the movies job as easy as posible. Not to say I agree with that particular establishment. But it just seems seedy to me because I don't believe the circumstances involved that he reveal these people to make this film feasable.

*End Spoiler*.

The film is probably overall a better film than I'm rating it. but some things just put me off. so much that I can't really give it more than a 2 stars out of five. I think people should watch this film but a :This Film is not Yet Rated "The MPAA's side of the story" should be made because at least we'd get two perspectives.

This movie should be rated P for Propaganda.
