Hollywood swearing never ends?

Question

Unlike movies that came about 30 years ago...the movies now always have the "F" word for all swear dialogues used in hollywood movies and it really sucks when watching movies with kids....What do you feel about it?

Answer 1

That is why they have the rating system. It should be a clue of what the film has in it . Stick to G and maybe some PG.
You are so right about how things have changed in the last 40 years. I can remember as a kid never hearing anything in a movie, not even damn.
I can remember back in 1969 packing my three boys in the backseat of the car and going to the drive-in to see an X rated movie, "Midnight Cowboy", later rated R. The boys were to young to get a lot out of it and fell asleep pretty quick.
You will notice there is a lot less smoking in the newer films. That is probably the reason for all the swearing, where the f**k are my cigarette's? ;-)
IMHO I think movies are more real life now then they were in the 30's-60's. But, wait a minute. I think some of the greatest movies ever made were back then.

R rated video clips sell far much less nicely than pg-13. seem on the openning weekend information. Spiderman 2 which exchange into PG 13 opened with $one hundred fifteen million. i've got self belief Hannibal holds the checklist openning day checklist for an R rated action picture at $fifty 8 million. the utmost action picture on the checklist of suitable grossing video clips of all time that has an R score is the enthusiasm of the Christ. Of the suited a hundred videos of all time suitable grossing in basic terms 7 have an R score: the enthusiasm of the Christ The Matrix Reloaded Saving private Ryan Terminator 2: Judgement Day The Exorcist Gladiator rather female by utilizing gently looking at over the checklist I count quantity 17 video clips that are in all probability rated G, greater suitable than double the style of R rated video clips on the comparable checklist. some writers purely have self belief they are in a position to the two get away with it or they desire it in that occasion. i might extremely see a action picture the place that's used sparingly than one wherein that's used as quickly as. in case you in basic terms drop the f-bomb a pair of times you in all probability did no longer desire it interior the 1st place. Then there is video clips like Scarface and undesirable Santa which drop it very liberally. looking at them is amazingly humorous, yet you needless to say comprehend there is not any way you should use the be conscious that lots in actual existence. interior the top nonetheless it extremely is in basic terms a be conscious. i may be greater aggravating with reference to the quantity of innovations numbing violence and gun battles babies are uncovered to than the f-bomb or the different x-be conscious like the s-be conscious or the c-be conscious.

Answer 3

Are you watching R rated movies with kids? Then you might expect some F words. Having more than three F words, or specific uses thereof (motherf'ing, for instance) instantly gets a movie a R rating.

I don't have a problem with it. I certainly use that kind of language plenty in my own life, so it's not unusual to hear it on screen. And I understand that R rated movies are not for kids, and PG-13 films should be reserved for older kids.

It's been about 40 years since the Hayes Code fell apart, and I think movies are the better for it.

If it offends you - stick to G and PG films, or read the disclaimers to make sure it doesn't contain "strong language".
