They "made" a movie to be streamed on their platform. They don't have to submit a script to the MPAA for a rating. Yet they do and they receive the most restrictive rating which studios don't want for their movies. And they announce they are not going to make changes to get an R rating. As an aside, the article says the rating comes from a rape that appeared in the novel. I appreciate staying true to the source material even if it means taking a hit with the film's rating. I can't understand why Hollywood doesn't remake the movies based on Tennessee Williams plays. The movies were made during the Production Code and they got twisted into shallowness by having to give up or dance around key elements. On the DVD of A Streetcar Named Desire there's a short where Karl Malden talks about all of the problems Kazan had with the Breen office (enforcers of the Production Code). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
