I’m not satisfied that it’s worse elsewhere. I’m sure it probably is worse in many parts of the world, but my interest in hearing about rating systems in other countries in this case would have been for countries that do it better than the U.S. The movie makes reference to a large number of other ratings boards among which the U.S. is the only one with a secret membership. And they mention in passing that other countries tend to rate more for violence than for sex. I think this movie would have been more effective if it had followed up more on those issues.

I can’t believe you focused solely on the details. The general feeling that I get is a sense of 1984, with a different aspect of oncle Sam controlling what the masses can see or not see. I think this movie is showing how biaised, fake and manipulated our democracy is. One more example of people and artists being denied the right to full information. And stop being satisfied with the fact that it is worse elsewhere. We are being manipulated and brainwasked, we know it and we don’t do anything about it even when people like Kirby is showing it to us.
