can anyone explain this pg13 rating ?? - Kaena: La prophétie (2003) Discussion

[–] kerr_jamie 20 years ago

The frightening images are pretty obvious, I'm sure. What with the violence and the CG'd blood. As far as that sensuality thing goes, I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that Kaena always wears next to nothing in the movie and has big boobs.

I'm guessing the sensuality is in reference to her rather revealing outfits.

I can say that the outfits are very cool

Seems rather dumb to me, a white silouete of a naked person where you can almost see her nipples...PG would do fine, I mean come on, people see nipples when they're getting breast fed...

check out the threads about Madagascare where people complain about the pinguin saying "it sucks". And that movie is rated PG. So can you imagine what would americans do if a PG movie will have a hint of nudity in it?

By the way, non sex related brief nudity gets PG13.

I just saw the movie.... um, it's not just a mostly white scene where you can kinda see her nipples. You can see her upper nudity extremely well.
I do believe that "Sensuality and some frightening images" isn't enough. They are both true, i believe the sensuality to be that she wears some skimpy stuff. But they should have also put "brief/partial nudity."

(by the way, Titanic got pg-13, even with the long nude scene, because of the artistic context of the scene, so i agree with the guy who said that "non-sexual nudity" can be pg-13.)

Maybe because the movie denies the existence of God,
and it says that we were made by some beings
more advanced than us' machine...all against christian believes.

Yes nudity is quite obvious at the end. In french version it is seen very good. Don't know about the english version. Don't know and don't care as I allways look for originals, no matter what country is from (as I have my magic subtitles) :)

Nah. It was an alternate world and an alternate humanity. Unless we have missed some gigantic coiling plant somewhere in Central America or something.

All I can say is, thank you Jesus, that in fact - no. We are not so backward in the USA that our movie rating system condemns, via ratings, films for having alternative views on spirituality than those that American Christians(r) have.

That said, there sure is a lot of gratuitous cheese cake in this movie; legs spreading, and such. PG-13 is harsher than PG, but not as much as R, so you do the math. It is a gray area which can be argued, but really it is about watching out for the kids. I am sure I would rather not have my boy watch babes having their T-shirts doused with water at the beach, not because nudity is bad, but because I don't want him to grow up to be an idiot who is only interested in stupid-and-easy women. PG-13 is a heads-up, and sometimes it is tough to make the call.

I don't know what to say for the PG-13 rating of Kaena. She's tough and smart and a leader, but hell if she doesn't bend over and spread her legs a lot.

Maybe it's just a cultural thing.

Hey, we're born naked and we die naked, I see nothing wrong with it. The reason for the whole PG13 thing is that the people who rate movies have sticks so far up their asses that they want to ruin everyone's lives and impose a perverted totalitarian super morality on everyone until everyone becomes as stuck up as they are. This movie should have gotten a PG at most, if even that.

Hmm I bet most people don't die naked. But yes indeed we are born naked and I think this fear of naked bodies has gone a little far I mean it's just flesh.

I agree, is like as the time advances, these naked, women/men differences are becoming more stricter and more absurd. In my opinion we should develop the same ideologies like they exist in Starship Troopers.

I believe I can shed some light on the sensuality part. See, for a good portion of their appearance, the sap monsters are engaged in a very familiar merging of mass. And the last male is often making comments about this "Fusing," which seems to be their form of procreation. It may be rather alien, but the sexual overtones are rather obvious, and in some cases, more than look the part.

If only they went Dumbo and brought in a stork to explain how we multiply.

It's obvious to any kid/infant that a child comes from 2 people.

The story and themes are so impressionable for our children to become good people, we musn't let them see this else they will be hard to control and ignore them. They'll stop eating worms too and start raving about how they can see dead people.

Best we feed them how to be environmentally friendly consumers.

Its a bold project, brilliantly executed, certainly entertaining and more engaging than the majority of films produced.
