We would like to present the project «Uniform rating system of films».
The rating system is necessary for restriction of audience of the films.
Traditional rating systems include restrictions on age.
They are used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children.
In addition our universal rating system estimates contents of the film.
So each film has two assessments.
As all of you understood, our system is uniform for all countries therefore films are classified by committee of the best critics from all over the world.
Classification depending on age of the viewer:
This classification is used to help parents decide what films are appropriate for their children.
It has 4 categories:
1.
AG (all ages) - viewing of the film is available to people of all age.
There is no nudity, sex, violence, offensive language.
(majority of animated cartoons)
2.
R13 (restriction, no one under 13) - viewing is available only to the audience who has reached 13.
There is may be unrespectful language, violence, some indication of sensuality, but no sex on the screen.
(Forrest Gump, The Lord of the Rings)
3.
R16 (restriction, no one under 16) - viewing is available only to the audience who has reached 16.
The language may be rough, some nudity and lovemaking may be present, a lot of violence.
Audience under 16 can be allowed to viewing, but only accompanied by parents.
(The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile)
4.
FA (full age) - viewing of the film is available to people over 18.
Such films can have brutal or sexually connected language or sex and too much violence.
(9½ Weeks, Knights of the Sky)
Cashiers and ticket inspectors of cinema are responsible for the admission to the film of people of a certain age.
Classification depending of the contents of the film:
If the first classification helps parents to protect their children from inadmissible violence scenes, sex and other, the second classification helps the viewer the movie most suitable for.
Depending on the contents the movie receives a certain quantity of stars that helps us to make a right choice.
1 star means that films have a really primitive plot, they don’t have a good cast, and usually such films aren't successful in world rolling.
(For example Pledge This!)
Film gets 2 stars if it has dynamic history, some popular actors in a cast, and if the previous parts were popular with the audience.
As a rule it is the horror films, some action films and melodramas (Paranormal Activity)
3 or 4 stars mean that film have aexciting, worthy plot and a professional cast.
They are full of special effects, grab attention of the viewer, teach the viewers to something (to believe in love, justice, good and other).
Such films are successful in world rolling.
(Inception, Law Abiding Citizen, The Butterfly Effect)
5 stars: most often receive very difficult films, which make the deep sense, have an ideal cast, and also the authoring movies represented on film festivals.
These films are popular with the audience within many decades.
(Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door, Scent of a Woman)
Our classification helps the viewer to enjoy the film, and also not to waste time and money.
