Canadian Movie Ratings:
In 1913, British Columbia began looking into rating movies for the citizens of the province. Today, they have a classification office with employed classifiers who provide British Columbia movie ratings using the following insignia:
RATINGDESCRIPTION: G All ages. The contents of these motion pictures are suitable for viewing by all ages. PG All ages. Parental guidance advised. Theme or content may not be suitable for all children. 14A Anyone under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Parents cautioned. These films may contain violence, coarse language, and/or sexually suggestive scenes. 18A Anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Parents strongly cautioned. Will likely contain explicit violence, frequent coarse language, sexual activity and/or horror. R No one under the age of 18 may view under any circumstances. Content not suitable for minors. May contain scenes of explicit sex and/or violence. However, the film classification office considers these films to have some artistic, historical, political, educational or scientific merit. A Restricted to persons 18 years of age and over. Persons under 18 years of age are not permitted to attend under any circumstances. These motion pictures are “adult motion pictures”, as defined in the Act, and may contain explicit sexual scenes or scenes of brutality or torture to persons or animals, or any combination of them, that are portrayed in a realistic and explicit manner; however, the scenes would, in the director’s opinion, be tolerable to the community. |
