jingwei zhou this film is not rated yet

Even it is a documentary film, it is still impressive because it shows how different people view the movie culture in different perspectives.
People might just focus on enjoy how those movies are, but never consider about what does movie mean to others, especially for producers. the word "movies" is becoming more and more similar to the noun "money", because typical hollywood movie gains lots of money by just adding impressive special effects and fighting clips, rather than real lives or deeper ideas and thoughts.
Movie actually is not only a way to pleasure watchers, but also express producer's inspiration and enthusiasm to show their own worldview or ideas and human experiences. The MPAA can decide which film is acceptable by their own thoughts or standards, which is more or less comprised with personal attitudes or prejudice. in the documentary, some producers got shocked, knowing his(her) movie rated NC-17. especially in america, a country that mostly encourages free thinking and respects, this sort of unreasonable system seems like so unfair because members in MPAA make their own decisions in "black boxes". NC-17 means blasphemy to intellectual producers, who devote themselves to movie career to create real films but with bloody or sexual views, because MPAA member make judgements in their own perspectives. It, NC-17, could mean a disaster to a good movie, because many viewers won't choose to take time to watch them just because of the rate.
for instance, people would love wars because of seeing hollywood war movies which are not real things. however, people can't understand what war is, since those real war documentary will be rated as NC-17 and most people won't care that any more.
Anyway, the rate system for movies give much less chances for those creative and real movies.
