Youths Rate Movie Rating System
Opinions of the nation’s, youth on the motion picture rating
code are widely varied How effective is it? How do young
people react to the system that is designed with those age
17 and under in mind? Does it actually serve a purpose?
"You get information about a film from the rating code.
even if you haven’t read a review or heard about it from
other people," says one student
"Many people would never go to an X-rated film, while
others would make a special point of seeing something that
might be risque.” ™
Gilbert Youth Research’s National Gilbert Youth Poll questioned
high school, college and out-of • school youths across the
country, and found that most of them (BO per cent) are
familiar with the raung system
Many respondents (00 per cent) feel the codes restrictions
tend to make some people curious to see films if they are
rated R (restricted persons under II ’not admitted unless
accompanied by parent or guardian) or X (persons under 16
not admitted) "You know, some people notice that a film
has an X rating and automatically decide to go see a 'dirty'
film," said a college sophomore from Indianapolis
“It’s an easy way to increase a movie's popularity,” said
a 23 - year - old girl from Dallas “X” means forbidden
— so, even if a film is really horrible, rnaay people will
want to see it, simply because it's got sea la it,” said
a 17 - year - old boy from St. Louis. '
Forty - eight per cent of those interviewed felt that the
motion picture rating system helps prevent exposure to certain
films, while 43.6 per cent disagreed The younger respondents
(under 17) were more enthusiastic about, the systems effect

Of the opposite opinion was a 23: year - old from Denver.
"It’s totally ridiculous. The classifications mean less than
nothing - nobody pays any attention to them:"’
Many _ young people (75 per cent) fool that the motion picture
rating code definitely helps parents determine which films their
children should see; however, those IS and under were less
positive about this than the older group (19-25). “Parents
may forbid their children to see an X-rated film and send
them to a Grated film, but, that just makes the kids more
curious about what they're not supposed to see," said a 17
year old from Chapel Hill. N.C.
