This Film Is Not Yet Rated (Hover)
As it turns out, Kirby Dick's eye-opening movie isn't rated. When he submitted it to the Motion Picture Association of America, they slapped it with an NC-17 (though he had always intended to release it unrated). This is fitting since he sheds much-needed light on the inner workings of a secretive organization that wields great power over the movies the public gets to see (since most mainstream media won't touch the dreaded NC-17). It's just as well since This Film Is Not Yet Rated focuses on the more controversial films of the past three decades. Aside from the stories of filmmakers who have tussled with the MPAA, Dick hires a private investigator to determine who sits on the board, since this information isn't in the public domain. With her assistance, he solves the mystery. Though frequently humorous, This Film Is Not Yet Rated should be required viewing for serious film fans, because the MPAA doesn't just affect what gets seen-but what gets made.
I agree wholeheartedly with what is said in "This Movie Is Not Yet Rated" because we are living by other people's standards and we need to have our own. I remember when PG-13 movies first introduced a few swear words and even a flash of some woman's chest and I was amazed! When I was growing up that would be for sure no less than an Are rating. Now PG movies are like Are movies, what's next?
