FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Bully was given a more severe rating than The Hunger Games because it includes
children using swear words.
Critics say the rating system, which has been in place since 1968, focuses too
much on bad language rather than depictions of violence.
They also suggest that the MPAA, a trade association representing the major
Hollywood studios, gives lower ratings to profitable blockbusters.
In Hollywood there are hopes that The Hunger Games, based on a novel by
Suzanne Collins, will become a film franchise to rival Harry Potter and turn
stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth into A-list
stars.
Hansen Clarke, a Democrat congressman, said: “The hypocrisy is that the
very movies that contribute to violence can be seen by teenagers because
they get a PG-13. And the one film that actually teaches them to respect
others is given an R.”
Lee Hirsch, who directed Bully, said: “This case has brought to light the
hypocrisy of the rating system. It’s stepping all over the experience of
these kids and the impact this movie can make. The R does matter.”
Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who pushed French film The Artist to
Oscar glory last month, has headed to Washington DC to lead the campaign.
Referring to The Hunger Games he said: “I hear ten teenagers get killed
and that’s PG-13.”
Mr Weinstein, who is well known for his own temper, has described the campaign
on behalf of Bully as a “redemptive act” for himself.
In the UK “The Hunger Games” has been given a 12A rating, meaning 12-year-olds
can watch it unsupervised, after changes were made including blood splashes
being digitally removed.
Jennifer Lawrence, the star, said recently: “I do think the violence and
brutality is justified, but I understand if everybody has a different
standard for ratings.”
