This Film Is Not Yet Rated

The basis for the film, censorship or freedom of speech, as expressed by film makers. Kirby Dick hiring a Private Investigator to find out who the individuals are that are rating the movies, I can't help but be curious on his choice. Did he chose the best, or chose based on sexual orientation? Her explaining how she got married because of pressure and realizing that she was a lesbian had what to do with the MPAA? She did not even have surveillance equipment and needed to go to the "Spy Shop" to buy cameras.

Since the members are supposed to be the average parent and be anonymous to avoid be pressured, then it was interesting that most had grown children and that the senior level movie raters dealt with the studio executives.

However, the filmmakers wanting a more lenient rating system does what to hold up standards and protect the children from seeing things that children should not see? This is part of the problem with the downfall of our society as it is; tv has Jersey Shore and teen moms glorifying horrific behavior, why not have kids watching drug use, excessive drinking, violence, and graphic sex scenes? Probably because kids should not be exposed to these things at a young age and should be allowed to be innocent kids.
