History of Film Classification system
The Motion Picture Association of America first introduced a classification system by the number complaints about the levels of violence, nudity, sex, and profanity in Films that were taking place in the United States.
The MPAA decided at the time that if someone was to regulate the content of the films are widely available in the United States not the government, would be to do it.
The first code that began with the nickname of the Hays Code, named after the man who invented it, but later had to be revised to include a SMA or proposal for the largest number of hearings, I had intended to take into account that a film contained what most people would see as objectionable content.
Although this rating were first introduced, that would apply to films that have not been standardized and Film Production companies that do not belong to the MPAA are not subject to this rating system.
From 1968 to 1970, the only classification system consisted of four different ratings: G, H, I, R and X, with increasing levels of violence, sex, or profanity. This rating was changed to GP or General Board and then to PG GP parental supervision in March 1970.
The rating of PG-13 turned around in mid-1980, since there was a lot of movies that were right on the line between PG and the R rating The PG-13 rating was created to fill this gap.
The NC-17 rating came into existence September 27, 1990 and replaced the classification of the number of X that had been used almost since the beginning of the rating system. The X rating had become too synonymous with pornography and this was never intended.
The problem with NC-17 ratings for Producers, however, is the fact that some chain stores do not Movie will take titles that bear his stamp. This has caused the film studios recently to protest the NC-17 rating for films, saying it makes your almost worthless films for extended release, as many movie rental chains will not carry titles that are rated Mid 1980 in the sense that there are a number of films that are considered right on the border between R and NC-17. Many parents believe that the R rating is a bit too broad and I would like to see the grade is divided into 2 groups: R and R. hard
