This Film Is Not Yet Rated Submitted Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - 3:42:26 PM by Klaitu
This is a film about controversial film ratings, it threatens to "expose the corruption" within the MPAA, but the filmmaker completely and totally misses the point of the MPAA ratings system, so this movie primarily complains about how porn can't get an R rating.
The documentary contents that the MPAA is corrupt because the people who rate the movies are anonymous, and the appeals board is made up of industry insiders.
In reality, films get rated NC-17 because filmmakers want to "push the envelope" and get as much crap as they can into their R rated film. The documentary treats the NC-17 rating like a purposeful ban on artists, but the MPAA actually uses NC-17 to categorize movies that nobody wants to watch because they are stupid.
If you're a filmmaker, and you want to make money.. don't make porn you idiots.
The documentary guy submitted his film to the MPAA for review, and since it contains clips from NC-17 films.. guess what it got rated? Yeah, NC-17.. DUH!
Coincidentally, the title of the film is wrong because he did that.
Overall Score: 2 of 10
