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. |

A dying former slave asks the descendents of his master to
bury him on the plantation he worked on as a child. Co-starring Harvey Keitel, Andie
MacDowell, John Franklin Sawyer, Scott Terra, Daniel Treat, Monica Bugajski, Darrell
Larson, Deborah Hedwall, Tom Bower and Melvin L. Cauthen. [1:28]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - A kiss. We see feet sticking out of a rocking car; later, a
woman gets out of the car and adjusts her skirt. A boy finds a used condom and waves it in
another boy's face. A boy peeks through a hole at a girl in her nightgown. In two scenes,
we see boys' bare backsides as they're skinnydipping; we also see a woman in her bra and
underwear and a girl in a slip while they're swimming. We see a young girl's chest and
stomach through her wet top.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - We see a dead woman in a casket; we also see a dead man
lying in a bed and later, on the ground. Shirtless, barefoot men with shackles around
their ankles are forced to walk a long distance (we hear the sound of a whip cracking but
don't see anyone being hit). sounds as if . A man has a bowel movement in his pants
(people act as if it's very smelly).
PROFANITY 5 - Many anatomical and scatological references, lots of mild
obscenities, many insults and many racial slurs and slang terms. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Slavery, race relations, the Depression, death, friendship,
loyalty, keeping promises.
MESSAGE - Rules that encourage discrimination are meant to be broken.

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. |
