it maintained my interest for the full length of the movie, and made me think about the legitimacy of these types of organizations, and how much trust we put into their rating abilities knowing nothing about it. I liked the position the director takes and how interactive he gets with the "investigation" into the identities of the ratings board. I also enjoyed the side plots of the characters like the private investigator who was homosexual and therefore enhanced the arguments the director put forth about the types of sexual acts that are prohibited for release. It gives the audience a more personal relationship with the characters in the film.
I also liked the arguments put forth about where these people are hired from and why they have the expertise to judge and comment on the appropriate nature of films. I felt bad for the filmmakers who were not able to release their films to wider audiences because it was blocked in the ratings board.
I do however feel there should be some sort of ratings system as a guide for parents, but there should be some kind of selection process for this "ratings board" that provides a diverse group of people to make important decisions regarding this art form. It is in my opinion a commentary on the way our world works, for example politics.....
