I'm sorry, this was a wonderful and moving film I would actually encourage my children to see, regardless of age.
...or Amélie getting an 'R' rating in America alongside films like Natural Born Killers. :rolleyes:

If you want to see something that's morally offensive see what happened in Rwanda in Hotel Rwanda. If your morals are offended by fiction, then there's something wrong with you.

This is completely ridiculous, and I agree with Slay 100%. Amelie is such a wonderful, well....happy film, all around. Makes me happy anyway.

Oh ya, child birth, that is totally offensive and the poor little children need to be protected from that knowledge. Horse apples!!!!

I feel sorry for all the young adults that missed out on this one because of this....

Well Butterfly effect had some pretty intense scenes but I was in no way offended. Look away people. Fast Forward. Don't WATCH IT!

We're talking about adults yes? not children because that's a whole other issue but I reckon any person with half a brain can work out that House of the Dead is going to be somewhat like the name suggests.

I can't speak for everyone but the sort of people I know who don't like gore or don't like swearing or don't like horror generally avoid movies that are likely to contain it.

People need to just read a review, ask around, find out something first! Or they should prepare to be morally offended! :)

Just depends on individuals morals, one persons offensive is not the same as another’s, the only thing I would consider avoiding is films in which animals (or in an unlikely case people) are deliberately tortured or killed in the making of and maybe a film which had the sole intention of promoting hate crimes.

The films on that list seem very tame to me …

First off. This message was not typed by a "supreme being". :D It is meant only meant to raise questions in search of the truth.

Movies, and Moviemakers are held in high regards by all.
In their elevated position they have the power to change
and create worlds (so to speak), shed light on dark situations,
or glorify either side of human nature.

My questions: Is evan a lifetime of mental absorbtion of a false reality
worth the suffering of one little girl/boy who doesn't have the
mental capacity to fully understand the situation? Have you ever
considered how many adults there are in the world who are greatly
affected by what they percieve as a more glamorous world of violence,
coupled with sex, and glorified drug use. (note that I am not saying sex is bad, or
even drugs in moderation.) Have you considered the fact that these people will
breed? They will reproduce, and pass their ideas on to their children who will do the
same.

Do we not want to make this thing better?

Let me know what your ideas are.

What I find most disturbing about this list is the number of movies on it that I have never heard of, let alone seen.
