Sienna Miller has blasted US censors for giving romantic epic Casanova a restrictive 'R' rating when films that terrify kids get PG-13 releases. Bosses at the Motion Picture Association of America gave the film an 'R' (forbidding people under the age of 17 from viewing it unless accompanied by an adult) because of a banquet scene which hints at Heath Ledger's Casanova character having illicit oral sex with an underaged admirer. But Miller is appalled by the harsh rating because films that should be given more restrictive releases are passed by the MPAA. She says, "I think it's a pretty harsh restriction when you can go and see terrifying horror films in this country (America). That seems really silly to me. War Of The Worlds was PG-13 and that was terrifying. I took a nine-year-old to see it and I had to take him out of the theatre because he was terrified .
seems like shes trying to turn the attention of her film there. she was right but the end part was a little off i think.
she might have been telling the truth...but i must say for a 9 year old, her kids a sissy
she needs to stop giving examples and giving people a hard time with there job (mpaa)
anyway, she is right. they are much stricted in the last 2 years with ratings. worldwide..in australia..the last film to get an R and a cinema release (wide release) was Kill Bill Vol 1
the first R rated movie since (which is Wolf Creek) is now playing...its no R deserving at all...spoiler:
the whole film leads upto some horrific events which arnt really that bad..the worst is [SPOILER] some chick gets her fingers cut off...wow..how disturbing [/SPOILER].
