One interesting area following this movie is the refusal of the raters in Hollywood to reduce the R rating due to language. Some have pointed out how in America, movies with large amounts of violence stay at R while movies with swear words get the R.Really, is that not bizarre or what? Imagery that certainly arouses more of the brain is okay but swear words not so. Not only that, isn't it strange that how in other countries, violence is more heavily critiqued while nudity and sexuality is not, but here in America it's the other way around - guess it's the more violence the better, but run for the hills when it comes to verbal utterances and a little nakedness...
