Tom Wolper, to Jim Ellwanger, March 28th: > > The major chains that have theaters in New York and L.A. may not show >> NC-17 films, but independent theaters and smaller chains (such as Laemmle >> in the L.A. area) generally have no problem with NC-17 or unrated films. >> > > I remain confused about what Netflix has done. 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.
