How 'PG-13' neutralized the discriminating teen's movie-going experience: Exhibit B
by Kintners-raft | created - 14 Aug 2012 | updated - 29 Mar 2022 | PublicThis is part deux, a companion piece, to 'Exhibit A' - a previously posted list supporting the theory alluded to in the title. If you are intrigued by the idea(s) presented here, it may behoove you to investigate the aforementioned list first. [link]http://www.imdb.com/list/GYNNL6qtpB0/[/link]
Contained herein is a list of PG-13, U.S. films released in the first ten years of the inclusion of said rating. I believe all of these teenage-targeted movies suffered greatly as a result of the existence and subsequent obtainment of a PG-13 rating. Of course I have no knowledge of the original script nor the visionary intent of the writer(s) and director but wholeheartedly believe that, had PG-13 not been available, these movies would have been made for a more astute, mature audience. Although it is completely subjective to believe all or most of these films could have been significantly better had they been released as an R-rated production, it is clear from their subpar, IMDb user-rating that each was lacking the necessary qualities for a memorable movie-going experience. I openly acknowledge that some of the movies listed below may have been dreadful regardless of target audience.
This is a carefully selected list of titles that simply have a plot/storyline that seems more suitable for young adults or should have been better given the talent and seemingly diluted mature subject matter.
Thanks once again for considering my point-of-view and respecting the fact that I know my opinions and theories are difficult to substantiate. I enjoyed assembling this demonstration and (hopefully) presenting something more than just a register of "movies I like/dislike."
