Ratings Code

If the ratings board were to reduce the number of ratings available to classify films, then we would have even more problems. By only having three ratings, a film could be on the edge, and would be bumped up a rating to avoid letting in someone who is too young to see it. The film ratings board should not be so black and white, there must be more leadway and less judgement. If a film was made for someone 17 year old or younger, they would be unable to watch it without a guardian. This would also require a parent to be there for anything not rated for everyone, destroying the ability to make money from high schoolers going to see films over the weekend (which is a large demographic). There are many problems with the ratings board, but reducing the ratings will not help, atleast not this way.
