Искусство кино

capka3m был прав!!! MPAA Chairman and CEO Dan Glickman said in a statement, "The rating board ... will now consider smoking as a factor, among many other factors, including violence, sexual situations and language, in the rating of films.

Glickman said while some people have called for a 'mandatory R' rating on all films containing any smoking, the MPAA does not believe such a step would further its goal of getting more information to parents on this issue.

But Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, said he was "deeply disappointed," saying that films with smoking in them should be rated R.

В общем, это движение в правильном направлении -- я надеюсь, что скоро тот факт, что фильм имеет какой-бы то ни было рейтинг, будет автоматически избавлять от необходимости его смотреть. С присуждением премии Оскара это произошло уже много лет назад.

Most films released unrated nowadays (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PG13) are either relatively obscure independent films, foreign films, direct-to-video films, made-for-TV films or documentaries not expected to play outside the arthouse market. Поиск на слово unrated в том же тексте дает дополнительные интересные результаты.

And to add, rating is often not a property of the movie, but of the particular cut.

Exactly. Which brings the entire notion as absurdum. Thinking of the "Mona Liza" special cuts for catholics, muslims and junior audience. Which adds to the point that today's cinema has nothing to do with art. Ролокостер, блин.
