Crazy and Random Question..........................?

Question

Here's a crazy and random question that I have been thinking about: Are children who act in "R" rated movies allowed to watch themselves?

Very random!!!!!!!!!!!!! If anyone has any thoughts, post them. I'm interested to see what you guys think.

Answer 1

Rated "R" means restricted. Specifically, it means "nobody under 17 allowed without a parent." What happens if the parent is under 17?? lol

"NC-17" is the rating that disallows anyone under the age of 17 to see the movie. Period. Doesn't matter if your parent is there or not.

Now whether or not a child actor *should* be allowed to see a rated-R movie they happen to be in is another matter. Some parents think it's perfectly ok. Some don't. It's not true that a child actor necessarily knows the full content of a movie they're in. They may get to watch the "dailies" of their work (film clips of the work they do on a particular day), but those dailies may not be put into context. I think that'd be okay. But in my opinion, ratings exist for a reason...and I would seriously hesitate at letting a child watch a rated R movie. Then again, it really depends on what the movie is, what the point is, what is it that gives it its rating, etc. It also depends on the age of the child. If a child is 16 years old by the time the movie is released, I'd be more inclined to acquiesce than if the child were 10 or 11.

Answer 2

Well, Linda Blair was allowed to watch the Exorcist and she was like 14 at the time. (Funny note: at the audition she had NO idea what the movie was acutally about. As she was reading the portion of the script for her audition she was rolling her eyes and wondering just how the hell she was gonna tell her mother!)

I guess maybe the kids could attend their own premiere if Mum and Da said it's okay, either that or wait for the DVD, ha ha! If it was one of my kids, I'd be showing it to all her/his friends too (but I'm evil).

Answer 3

Ah anyone short of whatever random or loopy. Just learn your different solutions and they're approximately as random as a work of toast continually touchdown lemon curd / peanut butter / anchovy paste facet down. For real randomness you have got to see the numbers of men and women that can't see cosmetic within the countless random billions of atoms that make up the universe.

Answer 4

Very interesting...you know I bet they aren't just because some R movies are really intense (in some form or another) and I can't imagine the parents of the kid wanting them to see it. Maybe just get edited shots of the scenes they're in?

Answer 5

its a good question.. i guess they are alloweed with their parents because any1 is allowed to watch an R rated movie with an adult over 21 years.. and plus its the person movie, it would be stupid if the person couldnt.. but thats my thought only

Answer 6

That's a good one, I would think so because that Dakota Fanning went to see War of the Worlds... hello remember that horrible little outfit, poor kid.

Answer 7

I wouldn't let my child watch one but you know in Hollywood anything and everything goes. I suppose they do watch themselves just to see what is going on.

Answer 8

r rated movies should not really be shown to anyone under the age of 17, because you only get one chance to be a kid.....

Answer 9

I think kids in Hollywood are exempt from every law that regular citizens have to follow so I would go with yes....and they get a beer, a joint and a cigarette to go with it!

Answer 10

Ratings will apply to them as well, but they could always sneak one off the producer.
