And yet, The Greatest Story Ever Told was given a G rating.
I say let em go for it. It gets more press for the movie. Hollywood is in dire straits right now because sales are way down and they dont know why. Perhaps if the listened to people in flyover country they would know why.
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. What would they give a film with full nudity and religion in it? An X? Adam and Eve beware, the MPAA is using drugs it seems.
Well like smoking in movies, Hollywood doesn't want young audiences to get the idea that finding religion is something to emulate.
At the same time we are told that there is no negative effect on society with all the sex and violence portrayed on screen.
I don't see how this matters. Most parents will let their children watch anything they want to watch. That's another of the problems with our society. Children learn adult issues long before they have the cognitive and emotional abilities to handle them.
Be glad. Its a known fact that more people will go to a PG rated movie than a G rated movie. If their objective is to reach more people with the message of the movie, they were handed an unlikely victory.
