SUMMARY / COMMENTARY:
SPECIAL: This is a Special Guest MMMitt Analysis Analysis by John Mittler, aka Movie Rat from Finland. Visit MMMitt Analysis for an explanation of their rating codes.
Presenting guest analyses from MMMitt Analysis is an effort to join together Christians who battle sin in sinema from both continents. On our way to world-wide presence, the CAP Ministry is honored to bring to you the insight of our fellow Soldiers of Finland. John is featuring CAP analyses on his website and will occasionally be sending us his analyses of movies which are playing in Finland before release in the US for the CAP to share with you. Let us welcome MMMitt Analysis with love and in service to our Lord.
Genre: Passive Drama
Age limit in Finland: 18. US: R
Content rating:
1a) Female body
6.1 new chart-topper, the most uninhibited displaying of female body: all parts of the female body are shown in the movie, including a twenty-second erotic close-up of gender organs before and during childbirth [the film remains on rating level 6.3 (upper body unclothed), until on the last minutes the male spectators are offered spiritual brotherhood with the world seen by the eyes of male gynecologists]
1b) Male body
6.7 without shirt (towel on shoulders), quick flash of a man in short shorts
2) Violence
7.0 a lady is tripped with a cane, as the result of which the poor lady gets a bump in her forehead... men try to hunt birds with shotgun, and a hurricane pretends to attack the main character of the movie
3) Intimate relationships (concerns primarily the main characters)
6.1 male gynecologist (6.5), intimate relationship between two women (6.5), marital infidelity is normally rated on level 6.0, but this movie pretends to display mitigating circumstances for justification of the deeds
4) Stimulants (concerns primarily the main characters)
6.5 smoking, quite abundant use of alcohol
5) Property (concerns primarily the main characters)
6.9 economic equality, betting whose monetary value is 5 dollars per betting object (the exact number of objects doesn't become evident)
6) Language
6.0 using a couple of times for swearing a holy name connected with a well-known religion about 10 swear-words, whose meaning is gender organs of a man, excrement or eternal kingdom of destruction [if a Finnish spectator doesn't happen to master English, the rating level of the Finnish translation is 6.5, for *all swear-words* have been cleaned up from the translation (usually they have been translated with a lighter mildly vulgar expression)... also the use of a holy name for swearing has been clearly weakened]
7) Truth (concerns primarily the main characters)
6.5 one of the main characters tells that she believes in a superstitious ghost legend, the mental health of a certain lady gets badly off balance
8) Beauty
7.0 the idyl of traditional beauty concepts won't get more perfect than this in movies: nearly every woman seen in the film is a long-haired lightly made-up beauty wearing skirt, while the males in trousers represent the ideal of short hairstyle and traditionally ascetic beautification
9) Music
6.9 light modern music (e.g. kind of jazz), classical orchestra, string quartet, quiet piano music, a whisper of modern music powered by electric guitar
| "There are some in the entertainment industry who maintain that 1) violent programming is harmless because no studies exist that prove a connection between violent entertainment and aggressive behavior in children, and 2) young people know that television, movies, and video games are simply fantasy. Unfortunately, they are wrong on both accounts." [Emphasis is mine] And "Viewing violence may lead to real life violence." I aplaud these associations for fortifying 1 Cor. 15:33. Read the rest of the story. From our five-year study, I contend that other aberrant behaviors, attitudes, and expressions can be inserted in place of "violence" in that statement. Our Director - Child Psychology Support, a licensed psychologist and certified school psychologist concurs. For example, "Viewing arrogance against fair authority may lead to your kids defying you in real life." Or "Viewing sex may lead to sex in real life." Likewise and especially with impudence, hate and foul language. I further contend that any positive behavior can be inserted in place of "violence" with the same chance or likelihood of being a behavior template for the observer; of being incorporated into the behavior mechanics and/or coping skills of the observer. In choosing your entertainment, please consider carefully the "rest of the story" and our findings. |
