2. Suitable For All
The ‘U’ film rating indicates that anyone can watch the film as it’s
‘suitable for all ages’. This is because the film wont include anything
that will influence indecent behaviour, such as foul language, which is
important for when young kids are watching films as they are easily
influenced and act upon what's taught/learnt. The film wouldn’t also
contain anything that a kid may feel sensitive about such as bullying
or racism.
3. Parental
Guidance
The ‘PG’ film rating indicates that anyone can watch it and
younger kids can with parental guidance. The films with the PG
rating usually include scenes that may not be suitable for
younger kids, usually 8 and younger, as it could include mild foul
language, and Concepts of racism and bullying which some kids
may feel sensitive about of pick up habits/ideas from.
4. Cinema Release Suitable For 12+
The ‘12A’ film rating indicates anyone under 12 years of age
that wants to watch a film has to be accompanied by an
adult whilst watching the film. The ‘12A’ rating will usually
include non-extreme foul language as some kids could pick
up upon the language and use it in day to day life.
5. Video Release Suitable For
12+
The ‘12’ film rating indicates that the film is only suitable for people
aged 12+ and no one that is younger then 12 is allowed to watch it.
Also the difference between ‘12A’ and ‘12’ is that you can buy /rent
the film if your 12+ where as you cannot buy/rent the film if your
watching a 12A and younger than 12. The ‘12’ rating is a little less
child-friendly then ‘12A’ ratings therefore may include more foul
language, more in-sensitive scenes and sometimes, little/discreet
sexual scenes/references.
6. Suitable For 15+
The ’15’ film rating indicates that only people ages 15+ may
watch the film. The main reason films that are rated ‘15’ are
rated what they are is because the film can include strong
violence, strong language, sexual scenes, nudity, scenes of
discrimination and uses of drugs. At 15 a person is suppose to
know what is morally right and wrong therefore should not be
influenced by negative behaviour in the movies scenes.
7. Only Suitable for Adults
(18+)
The ‘18’ film rating indicates any adult (18+) is allowed to
watch buy or rent the film. The main reason films that are
rated ‘18’ are rated what they are is because the film can
and most probably include very strong language(including
racist terms), strong nudity and explicit scenes, sexual and
non sexual violence, strong horror (strong gore and blood)
and strong uses of distcrimination.
