ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Robin Williams stars in five stories, each one taking place
during a different historical period. He's either losing or looking for his family.
SEX/NUDITY 4 - Several kissing scenes. Two sex scenes, but both parties are
clothed. A man is shown urinating twice (we hear trickling). Men are shown in a large
bath, exposing bare torsos.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - A woman and two children are abducted, but not violently.
There is a graphic description of how someone should stab another person to kill them. A
man stabs himself and dies; we see the knife sticking out of his abdomen, and a spot of
blood on his clothing. Another man pulls the knife out and the blade is covered with
blood. There is a battle with swords and several men are shown bloody. A dead boy is found
with his eyes open. People are shown with nasty looking soars from exposure to sun and
wind. There is talk of cannibalism. The skeleton of a mule is shown on a barbecue spit.
Two men are shown being hung; the scene is shot from a distance, but it is a long process,
showing them struggling to get free, and kicking their legs about wildly.
PROFANITY 5 - The F-word is used twice, along with two anatomical references
and one mild profanity. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Slavery, suicide, survival, responsibility.
MESSAGE - Family is the most important thing a man can have.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
