Does 'PG' rating mean 'pro-God'?
Film with miracles, talk about Jesus draws parental warning from MPAA
This is just going too far. When is the country going to put an end to political correctness gone crazy.
But, with having said that, it is the parents responsibility to know a movie’s content before allowing their children to see it.
A new family film featuring miracles and a pro-God theme has earned a rating of “PG” from the Motion Picture Association of America due to fears it might offend people who have no faith or a different faith.
The decision surprises many who believed the “parental guidance” warning was reserved for the likes of violence, foul language and nudity.
“Facing the Giants,” the story of a Christian high-school football coach who uses his undying faith to battle the giants of fear and failure, was given the rating by the Motion Picture Association of America, the group which brands films according to their content.
“The theme of a PG-rated film may itself call for parental guidance,” the MPAA says of its rating system. “There may be some profanity in these films. There may be some violence or brief nudity. … The PG rating, suggesting parental guidance, is thus an alert for examination of a film by parents before deciding on its viewing by their children. Obviously such a line is difficult to draw.”
“It is kind of interesting that faith has joined that list of deadly sins that the MPAA board wants to warn parents to worry about,” film spokesman Kris Fuhr told the Scripps Howard News Service.
