Parents&Ratings--If your under 17 [Archive] - Movie Fan Central Discussion Forums

Hey i was just wondering for all of you under 17 and still living with your parents, do they in somway dictate to you what is appropiat for you to watch? i ask this because one of my close friends-who is 15 like me- his mom will not let him see R rated movies and i qoute" or horror films(arnt most of them rated R anyway?)
to me i think once you reach 15 anythings fair game. Honostly though. At some point (15) we(teenagers) as persons, should be able to decide what we watch. Now im not saying, give little timmy a six year old, Showgirls or queer as folk to watch, But i am saying that if you know your kid let them decide what they want to watch and if their in there early teens dont decide what they watch by your own opinions. one of my friends parents tired to tell my mom that letting me watch whatever i want will "corrupt my mind and send me on the wrong path" but here's the thing: im just a little bit more a mature than some of my friends and know the diffrence between reality and fiction. that aside if your still in your teens and living with your parents do they moniter what you watch with an iron fist or give you the reigns and let you watch what you like or find tastefull?

p.s My parents dont care what iwatch AT ALL.

I just turned 17, but prior to that, my parents weren't very strict about that. If your parents think you're mature enough they will let you watch them. I don't think parents would let their kids watch Saving Private Ryan if they would scream, "Dude, did you see that guys leg get blown off, that was awesome!"

that depends on their age though . im talking about parents doing it to 14 year olds and up. i dont think a 14 & 15 year old would honostly say that infront of their parents. They WOULD in fornt of their friends but not their parents. It's sort of like the parents having this overbearing need to feel OVERTLY in control IE: "your not going to go see titanic because in the reviews it says they draw her naked" or " iheard that lord of the rings was to violent for you" When the kid is 14, 15 ,16 years old. thats what im saying.

I'm 14 and my parents don't mind if I see most R-rated movies. I'm only forbidden to see movies that are full of sex and nudity. I'm not aloud to see A Clockwork Orange (I don't want to either) because my Dad seen it when it was "X" rated. Also, they won't let me rent slasher type movies but if it's on T.V. he will gladly tape it for me. If I see it at a friend's house, no problem.

Only last year, when I was 14, my parents didn't want me seeing Eyes Wide Shut or Boogie Nights. But now I own them both. They can see that I have an interest in movies and filmmaking, so they let me see anything, as long as it's not rated X.

To think, I used to not be able to watch the Simpsons...

Ever since I can remember there has never been any movie watching restrictions for me in our house. I'm 17, by the way. I watch Casino and Goodfellas with my dad and Pulp Fiction with my mom. They know how much I love movies so they don't want to put any type of limitations on them.

Honestly, my parents never bothered me about anything I wanted to watch. I was renting A ightmare on Elm Street when I was 8 years old. I used to LOVE horror movies. Every weekend, thats all I would do; invite a bunch of my friends over, and watch horor movies (some of them werent allowed, but thre parents didnt have to know). I think that mde me a bit jaded now, as I have not been scared by a horror movie since I saw The Blair Witch Project and even than only because I thought it was real (that damn Sci-Fi channel special made me think it was,...damn convincing).

I am 13 and I saw Saving Private Ryan in the theatre. I don't know what year that was. But i've been watching horror,action,controvertial and sick discusting teen movies scence I was like 7. My parents don't really care what I watch but Jay and Silent Bob was a problem. But I convinced them and they don't care anymore. If your mature at any age then it dosn't really matter what you watch. I don't see the big deal.Example: Except taking a 2 year old to see Scary Movie 2.

I don't see what's wrong with that. The kid's gonna start swearing by middle school anyway, get him started early, I always say...

yeah i see. I can definetly understand Parents not wanting their kids to see somthing like caligula although i have seen it. but like if they get into a huff about somthing that has udity in it but isn like showgirls. if your 14 and up should it really matter?

I am 18 right now, and have been watching R movies for quite some time. My parents saw at an early age that I was enamored with the filmmaking process so they allowed me the opportunity to watch the movies that I wanted to. I never had a restriction about what movie to watch, my parents always felt I knew what was good for me and what wasn't. Being able to watch R rated movies for as long as I have has given me a chance to see some of the greatest films of all time, which happen to be rated R.

one of the things that bug me about those type of parents is that some of them dont even know what he movie is about and still say no if it's rated R. That gets to me because we all know the MPAA is notorius for giving unjustified ratings to films. For example "I got a movie from block buster. Whats it rated? R. You cant watch it" it comes from them putting waaaay to much trust in the MPAA opinions and ratings on films. I myself AM anti censorship and dont like the MPAA. though i do understand the need for some sort of label for parnets to recognize whats in a movie BUT what we have now isnt good enough. What The MPAA thinks should be an R i might think Should easily be PG13. Like Panic Room. Nothing there that really WARRENTS an R rating.

My parents don't really care what I watch or see in the movie theatre, and I am 13. Last year, I saw "THe Mexican," "American Pie 2," "O,""Thir13en Ghosts" and "Vanilla Sky" in the theatre and countless more on video. This year, I have added about 16 R-rated movies to my DVD library, and my parents don't care. I am not allowed to see movies focusing on sex or nudity however unless my parents see them first.

I'm 15 and my Dad doesn't care what I watch and will let me buy or rent practically anything, I have only been told no for Pulp Fiction, and A Clockwork Orange. My mom is more annoying when it comes to this, but she still let me see The Rock when i was 9.
However they usually bitch at me after having to be with me when I rent movies at blockbuster. The people their really annoy me.

I'll never understand parents who have no problem with their children watching scads of brutal violence and gore yet balk at allowing their kids to see sex and sexual nudity. Why is the ways humans can inflict pain on one another more acceptable than the ways humans express love and desire?

Anyway, when I was a kid the only movie by parents forbade me to see was David Lynch's Wild at Heart (my mother heard about some guy's head being blown off with a shotgun). This decision was odd, since Blue Velvet was, a coupla years before, the first R-rated movie I saw in the theatre, and if that freakshow didn't screw up my pubescent mind, then what possibly could?

AmunRaTRON

I could never comprehend that either. there is nothing wrong sex or the human body..i also find that only americans have an overbearing seanse of fear for nudity when there kids or teens see it.. in any europein country parents there really dont care, infact most of it is apart of thier everyday lives. I find that Germany in particuler ABSOLUTLY doesnt care. Just take a look at their sex education program.

I'm 14 (almost 15) and my parents don't seem to care that much what I watch usually...They absolutely don't care about violence or gore...and they don't really care too much about swearing either, although sometimes extreme swearing (like in the case of Dogma two years back) will make my dad get a bit uncomfortable...pretty much every movie my dad would rent even when I was like 6 was rated R for violence and gore...

The only problem with both of my parents is that they care a lot more if there is sexual stuff in it than gore and violence, which really annoys me. But come on, I've pretty much been corrupted since I was like 7, so I mean it doesn't really matter...

But even if they disapprove more often when it's a movie with lots of sex, I can usually still see it/buy it because my parents are both (especially my mom) pretty unknowing when it comes to films, and my dad is one of those people who only like crap like Python, Anaconda, and Komodo...also, I live in Canada so ratings here are a LOT more lenient than the U.S...Pretty much 9/10s of the movies rated R in the U.S. are rated AA or 14A here, so I get to see them in theatres no matter what. Stuff like American Beauty, Mulholland Dr, and countless others are all rated 14A here, and even theatres are pretty lenient...I can pretty much get in to see any movie I want...and barely any movies that are rated R in the U.S. are rated R here so... And plus, most theatres don't seem to care anyway whether you are 18 or not, so I pretty much get into whatever movie I want.

I've seen Fight Club (18A) [which I also own], Se7en (18A) (which I felt was not at all as gruesome as people made it out to be...anyone think the same?), Pulp Fiction (R), American Beauty (14A) [which I also own], Mulholland Dr (14A) [which i am going to own], J&SBSB (18A), Snatch (18A), etc for a very small sample and only what i can think of off the top of my head right now.

BTW, the Canadian home video ratings system is as follows:
G-Family
PG-Parental Guidance
14A-Adult Accompaniment under 14
18A-Adult Accompaniment under 18
R-Under no circumstances can be seen by anyone under 18.

and the Canadian theatre system is as follows:
F-Family
AA-Adult Accompaniment under 14
R-Under no circumstances can be seen by anyone under 18.

THANK GOD I LIVE IN CANADA...i dunno how i could stand living in the u.s. right now with all that mpaa shit.

God, you wouldn't believe how ridiculous it got at my house. My parents threw a hissy fit over me watching R even when I was a high school junior. My mom's attitudes on the subject were so dated it would have been hilarious if it didn't piss me off. Trust me, I had to make a pretty big noise to get what I wanted.

The funny thing is, my mom made me go to church, which teaches the barbaric, immoral doctrine of eternal punishment. Can anyone see the bitter irony in this?

I am 15 years old and my parents are very funny about what they let me watch. I mean, i just saw Pulp Fiction for the first time because i wasn't allowed before. But at the same time, like 6 months ago, me and my dad watched American History X for the first time. I mean, he thought it was a good story with a very good message, but the sex scene at the start had him wondering the whole time. I own Snatch, Interview With the Vampire and many other "R" rated films, but sometimes, they won't even let me rent "14A" rated films (canadian rating system). I just rented A Clockwork Orange and i thought it was good, but i am not allowed to see Rocky Horror Picture Show because of the homosexuality in it. Weird. It purely depends on my parents mood when they let me rent something. I wanted to rent Blue Velvet and they said no. But then i wanted to rent The Crow and they were all for it. Crazy 40 year olds (lol, just kidding).

Just curious: Did your parents let you see American Pie 2 despite the presence of homosexuality in it? Or are hot lesbians okay but a bisexual transvestite off-limits? Have your parents even seen RHPS?

Or what about Dude, Where's My Car, or South Park, or American Beauty? Is girl-on-girl action acceptable, but man-love taboo? Just what are the limits your 'rents have imposed on your moviewatching time?

AmunRaTRON

07-10-2002, 12:17 PM

When it comes to sex...it seems to me that it's not sex itself, but sexuality. Sorta of like they think that if you see two guys kissing it'll give you some sort of cheeky idea's. For Me my mom oesnt care at all and there is a 2nd run movie theater near my house that i have a good relationship with so all of the R rated movie's i cant see at the mall i got there and see it also the theaters sun by really cool college kids,hehehe--That aside i have a question for my canadien friends: Would an R rating be = to an NC-17? also...For the guys whos mom pitched a fit that one time...where im from(Small town near D.C. in va) alot of ppl here are devoute christins so i get critisized alot cause of my veiws. So dont worry in my expirience Deeply riligous people(no offense to them) will try to raise hell about anything from fake hair clour to what goes on at the mall..but here's what get's me about you: Im a sophmore your a junior.need i say more? you should really automatically be able to watch what you want your going to anyway. be back later.

Yeah, my parents saw Rocky Horror, Feverdog420, back when they were dating, and i have seen Dude, Wheres My Car and South Park and they seem to be fine with that. Girls kissing and Mr. Garrison being kind of fruity, but they are just trying to protect me from the dangers of the world. I think they are actually just against the rampant transvestite shit and stuff like that. I mean, i am 15! I saw S;leepy Hollow in theatres the night it came out when i was 13 (that was my first theartiatrical R-rated film). My dad also recently saw Vanilla Sky and said it kicked so much ass, but i am not allowed to see it because of the sex. It is rated 14A here in Canada! And he wants me to rent A Clockwork Orange. Uggh, times sure have changed, and not for the better.
Oh, and AmunRaTRON, an NC-17 is rated a hard-hitting R here. My family is very religous and i dye my hair all the time, i chill at the mall and i make violent films. Weird, huh?

I don't think I can remember my parents not letting me see a movie. They just said not to take the movie seriously, because it is just a movie. I remember watching Jaws when I was 6 http://www.joblo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif . As I am 15, the only thing they don't let me watch is porn, but that is to be expected. I think the only rating that you really need for movies is something like 12A to keep the little kiddies from watching all the blood and gore. 18A has really got to be the most useless rating. Come on, as if a teen hasn't seen blood and sex on tv before! I feel sorry for the children of the parents who won't let their kids see some semi violent movie.

And why's that? Maybe some parents feel that violent entertainment isn't appropriate for their children. What's wrong with that?

Yeah, this is hypocritical; I saw Commando several times when I was a kid. But what did I know? I'd be more lenient in allowing my kids to watch "semi-sexual" movies than films that glamorize violence.

<Affecting a quasi-Dennis Miller inflection> But that's just my opinion - I could be wrong. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/icons/icon7.gif

Even if they forbid me from seeing a movie I end up watching it at my friends house who has a big screen TV. In the end everyone is happy. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

When I was 12 years old,I made deals with my parents so I can watch horror movies as a hobby if I got excellent grades in school. Which I did get excellent grades by the pressure I put on myself. When I was 14,I did the same thing with Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Success. I got to see em' and they became my favorite films. I'm 17 years old,My Mom wouldn't let me buy or see Boogie Nights.

Since 13, my parents have been getting more lenient (sp?). They started to let me rent whatever I wanted, but still, no R moives in theaters. I coul;d go to teh occasional with my dad (Joy Ride, Black HAwk Down, Res.Evil) Last September tho, Rules of Attraction came out. Me and my friends were dying to c it so we all asked our parents (for the hell of it) and they surprisingly said yes. Ever since then I'm allowed to see whatever I want anytime. btw, im 14 now

08-27-2003, 09:51 AM

I come from a religious family and as a kid i wasn't allowed to watch U.S R rated films whatsoever. It wasn't just the sex either, it was also the violence and swearing to. Anyways things changed by the time i was 14 when the new canadian rating system for video came in and most U.S R rated film were given a 14A here. I thought it was great, as i could watch all those so called off limit films according to the MPAA and my parents here at 14 yoa. Anyways buy the time i turned 17 i could pretty much watch anything i want with the exception of porn as long as my parents weren't in the room while i was watching it and the sound was turned down so the swear words couldn't be heard upstairs.

Well, since I could topple the folks with my film knowledge any day, they figure I know what I'm talking about. Mainly if the film isn't on the level of softcore pornography it's okay. I've got two years till I can freely see movies and I cannot friggin wait.

thompsoncory

08-27-2003, 05:48 PM

Wow, this is an OLD thread. Anyways...

I am 14 now and I really have NO restrictions whatsoever anymore. I can pretty much watch whatever I want, but this only started when I turned 14. Since then I have added over 20 R-rated movies to my DVD collection and seen countless more in the movie theaters. I can understand why a parent would object to a teen seeing something like "Gangs Of New York" (which I saw and enjoyed, but was extremely disturbed by), but not to movies like "Bad Boys II" "Final Destination 2" and "Terminator 3," which include violence but are not pushed to the extreme, with the former two films just being about having a good time. But even my 12-year old brother doesn't have that much of a restriction (he saw "Bad Boys II," "Phone Booth," "Matrix Reloaded" and "American Wedding" this year), the fact is that he CHOOSES not to watch movies full of hardcore violence/gore. I think it all really depends on your opinion, of whether you think you can handle what the movie has in it.

I'm 33 so it's been a long, long while since my parents last had any say in what I can and can't watch. I do remember instances where I ran into problems as a young teenager. I remember tearing the fucking house down when I was fourteen and my dad told me to go to bed halfway through Once Upon A Time In America because he was embarassed by the nudity and sex talk in the movie. That was a big turning point. I won that argument and saw the rest of the movie and from thereon in I was allowed to watch pretty much anything I liked either with my parents or on my own. I generally preferred watching movies with a lot of sex without my dad being around. I could sense his discomfort and it had an adverse effect on my enjoyment of the movie. Oddly, I never, ever had a problem watching movies with a high sex content or a lot of nudity with my mother.

Violence and bad language was pretty much NEVER an issue. Hence my love of horror movies. I was allowed to watch them from a very young age and have been drawn to that particular genre ever since. The only time in recent years there has ever been a problem was when I watched the movie Priest. I wasn't even watching it with my dad but he opened my room door to ask me a question during a scene where Linus Roach and Robert Carlyle were having a bedroom romp together and the shit hit the fan. Apparently I was a pervert for even watching the movie. I'm not gonna take that shit from anyone so I told him to fuck off and continued watching the flick. It's a crazy damn world we live in. No mistake.

I think its an unwritten law that parents ALWAYS walk in on the single worst scene in the movie that you are watching.

and by worst i mean sex, nudity, dialouge and shit

08-27-2003, 08:41 PM

I'm 24 so this has not been a problem for me in some years. However, my parents did monitor what I watched to an extent. If I remember correctly though, I was pretty much able to watch R-rated movies when ever I wanted around the age of 16. I fought my parents on that a lot before that age and some times I'd win, most times I wouldn't. But yeah, I believe 16 was when they kind of backed off on the whole R-rated movies kick they'd been on.

But anyways seeing R rated or horror flix didn;t seem to ruin or warp my brain in anyways, I beleive I grew up perfectly fine.

I think that parents should care about what their kids watch, but not get all crazy about it or anything. My parents could really give a rats ass whether I rent Bully or Hocus Pocus, just as long as I don't imitate what I see, and I think we're all pretty much past that phase (hopefully). Speaking of Bully, I watched it with my mom. No big deal. She thought it was a bit on the extreme side but yet again, no big deal. And I watch a lot of movies with my dad, some of all shapes and sizes, and guess what? It's no big deal. I think that when you're mature enough, you should watch whatever it is your little heart desires and no one should say a thing.

I can't stand being told what to and what not to watch. I know what I can and can't handle.

Alright, I dig The Sopranos--not for the sex, violence, and vulgarity, but for the entertainment value. My mom constantly says 'Ugh, all that nudity and blood and filthy language. You shouldn't watch that' Uh, hello! What's it going to harm? I hear the 'f' bomb more times in 5th period than I do in 3 episodes of The Sopranos. Maybe I shouldn't attend school either (not a bad idea). It's apparent she doesn't like it--change the channel! Don't try to forbid me to watch it, just because you don't like it. It's obvious I can handle it (which I guess she thinks I can't).

(actual conversation in reference to The Sopranos)
Me: I can handle that stuff more than you.
Her: I don't think so.

Wow...I have been outwitted again. Is it not so apparent that I can handle it, and that I shouldn't be told not to watch it?

Whew...that felt good.

All apologies for this being tv-related, but I am a firm believer that "kids" (maybe I am a kid, I'm 16) shouldn't be told what to and what not to watch. If we can handle it, then back off for Christ's sakes.

Maybe I shouldn't attend school either (not a bad idea). It's apparent she doesn't like it--change the channel! Don't try to forbid me to watch it, just because you don't like it. It's obvious I can handle it (which I guess she thinks I can't).

(actual conversation in reference to The Sopranos)
Me: I can handle that stuff more than you.
Her: I don't think so.

Wow...I have been outwitted again. Is it not so apparent that I can handle it, and that I shouldn't be told not to watch it?

I just tell my aunty that all the violence,nudity and language is part of their lifestyle and thats what the show is trying to...ummm show.

My parents aren't strict at all. Used to be, but not anymore. I'm 15 btw. As long as it isn't over the "R" rating they're pretty cool with it. Besides, any movie they probably wouldn't want me to see I wouldn't tell them about it.

My parents let me watch what i want. when i was small, mum wouldnt let me out vioent horror movies but ones like critters were kewl. Now im 15 and mum doesnt care as long as its not porn, but i wouldnt wnan a hire porn out neways becuz i dont kno if ppl who got it out b4 hand did some "activities" with themsleves and washed their hands..plus its a waste of money when i can get it free on the net. My parents kno how im interested in movies and how their all done so they not fussed. They trust me and kno me enuff for them not to be worried.
