How can a film with nudity be a pg?
It says that it is a PG because of nudity, suggestive content etc. How can a film with nudity be a pg?

learn to read, it's rated PG-13
shareAnyway the only nudity is Ariel, and the few times you see his whole body he is tied up in a knot. It is also not sexually related at all. He just happens to have no cloths.
shareYou learn to read, its PG in england
sharenobody cares about a spec of an island nation dwarfed in population on its own continent unimportant in the grand scheme of things in the world.

@kanaric1 Not true. I'm a nobody (from the US) and I care about that island nation. Just the performances of their actresses alone tell me that the nation is something to care about.
Similarly for Australia and New Zealand.

If no one cares, why are you on the forum for a play written in said country?
share"nobody cares about a spec of an island nation dwarfed in population on its own continent unimportant in the grand scheme of things in the world."
What childish drivel.
Grow up.

How many people can we put on our ignore list? I have a feeling I will be adding 3 or 4 idiots to it right now.
Ahh...the schizophrenics and their keyboards. Yes it's time - go pop another pill kids.
And people care about American only because they are worried about how fat and greedy most of the population is?
shareThe fact you know it is an island must make you a Mensa candidate where you are from.
shareWhich perhaps illustrates the cultural differences between the two countries. In the US, any nudity would get at least a PG-13. But in the UK the context and what that 'nudity' actually reveals is considered in the decision.
Is one right over the other. Perhaps but then again, who are we to cast a judgement on other cultures and countries and how they judge things. After all, both can be cast in a negative light. The UK, we could say, are all pervs. The US, we could also say, are all uptight about the human body. Depends on how you want to play it.
Context. Duh. If it's not sexualised, and just an image of a naked human, that's no reason to bump up the rating. Would you ban children from going to art galleries because of paintings and sculptures of nudes?
shareSadly, Fred-889, there are plenty of reprehensible bastards that would keep a child out of a museum because of the nudes.

Of course, everyone knows that kids will end up going to Hell if you let them see nekkid people.
sharei've got nothing against it, i just was wondering.
shareIt's just an androgynous man's bum, something they show quite frequently on British television from what I understand. No biggie. Even in the US they are doing this more and more these days.

There are people who blow up museums because they depict people at all. Seems like it's a thing.
shareBecause you are in a country (or if you are not from the UK you at least back tracked your original statement because you actually did misread PG for the US rating) which is not supposed to be as uptight about nudity, so why don't you drop it? It's rated G in Japan. What others have said, about the context, is correct. It is not smut, it is Shakespeare, and I sincerely hope you do not think nudity is inherently sexual.
Not to mention the overall subjectivity of these ratings is garbage to begin with, but that's another story entirely.
Context.

Doc Hollywood (Michael J Fox, Julie Warner, Bridget Fonda) opens with a full frontal nude of Warner dripping wet from a swim. PG.
shareYeah...it get´s worse in Americanistan every day. One uncovered nipple and they freak out like Talibans under a christmas tree.
shareIt really is perplexing and disturbing, the (apparently) predominant American views regarding nudity and sex. Particularly telling is the glib term "sex and violence" - as though to imply that sex and violence are somehow equivalent in any fashion, let alone to be lumped together as "reprehensible" things as the term is almost universally used.
There are exceptions of course, but by and large in American cinema since about the mid-80s at the first sight of a female nipple or totally unobscured bottom, the movie gets an "R" rating. Meanwhile, pretty darn graphic violence only sets a movie to "R" if it's just persistent and very in-your-face. Mass murder with gunfire is PG territory, not even PG-13.
It's insane to think that the sight of a naked human body - particularly in a simple "it makes sense for this actor to be nude at this moment in the film" fashion instead of graphic, pointless sex fashion - is somehow more damaging to a person than watching maiming and killing.
People don't get PTSD from having a robust sexlife, but many soldiers returning from war do.
Nudity and sex are intrinsic, healthy parts of life. The crazy puritanical bent of many Americans, particularly policy makers and people in other positions of power, is disturbing. Other countries laugh and shake their heads at it.
Nudity in this case is not sexual so PG is fine
shareStrange, I was expecting a thought provoking discussion on the merits and faults of nudity in contemporary films.
I guess I'll start said discussion...
The film rating in the U.S. are concocted by an arbitrary organization known as the Motion Picture Association of america (MPAA). This ordinarily draconian organization is made up of an tightly knit, highly secretive group of hand sellected raters. The goal of the organization has been to ensure that American morality is maintained by way or ratings. For example, they typically place "R" and "NC-17" ratings on films depicting homosexual kissing, and "PG-13" ratings on films depicting graphic violence and torture. It is indeed surprising that they would rate a film featuring MALE nudity PG-13.
I'm guessing that the ratings in the U.K. are somewhat less nude phobic. Still, I do wonder why violence is so acceptable to American audiences, while nudity is something we want to shield people 13 and older from.
Because unlike America, we don't think that skin can kill or harm people.
