This Film Is Not Yet Rated

I attended a screening of this independent documentary by Kirby Dick last night and was thoroughly impressed. It shows us what, and mainly who, is behind the closed doors of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). In this witty and satirical investigation, Dick reveals how the MPAA makes their decisions. He stresses the public's right to know who determines what we see and what we don't see in films, or if we can see films at all depending on their ratings. The MPAA has always been in secrecy over its members, but there are plenty of jobs where officials are in positions where they can be targeted or affected by persuasion. Think about school officials, judges and even the Supreme Court. The people holding such positions are known to the public, it would be illogical for them not to be. Thus, we deserve to know, and more importantly directors deserve to know, who is judging and rating their films. Kirby hires an investigator to provide this information. What is perhaps the most ironic part of the film is that the MPAA viewed this movie before it was released, and it announces the members of this board. It is a hilarious and informative movie. How cool would it be to watch and rate movies all day as your job? Even if you are not a film expert, you can still appreciate the cleverness of this film in how Kirby challenges the adminstration to inform the public.
