Why is the new a clockwork orange dvd rated x?

Question

I thought it was rated r once they changed the rating system in the 90's.

Answer 1

the rape scenes on the stage and in the house have been restored to their full length as has the sex seen in the bedroom

Answer 2

A Clockwork Orange was released in the 1970's and was given an X Rating due to Full Nudity and bloody violence. My generation Changed the ratings scale in the 1990's

Answer 3

Supposedly the original film released in the U.S. was actually rated X. Kubrick cut 30 seconds out of it in order to get it down to a rated R.

All the DVDs that have been released are the original x-rated version that includes the missing 30 seconds.

I haven't seen the new dvd version (only the VHS about 12 years ago). The R version is pretty brutal so I'm almost afraid to imagine what those 30 seconds contain. It's a distrubingly good movie though.

Answer 4

Actually.. I think it's because the ratings system has changed since then.. I know I watch even KIDS movies rated G or PG and they would be rated even higher now.. (one example is The Bad News Bears.. ).. if they changed the rating it would now be PG`13 or higher. There are some pretty graphic scenes that go beyond just nudity.. so, I can almost see the rating.. almost.. but x seems a bit too much..

Answer 5

There are, if I remember correctly, a couple of gang rape sequences in the film that are very violent as well. Violence and sexually explicit = X rating.

Answer 6

because the whole thing is about penises...well not really but there are a lot in there.. its a filthy movie but awesome if you can sit through it. (is penises a word) lol

Answer 7

maybe there is some new scenes with malcom, and the big giant...ummm....well u know what im talking about.

Answer 8
