Re: R rating. Saw an interview with the director and Colin Firth (who rarely does interviews). He complained about the ratings system. He said that violence in a film is evaluated in context. However, bad language is not. One f*9 is a PG, but 4 is an R. As many posters above have said, that seems ridiculously. Esp. when compared to violent acts. 1 person getting shot may be PG, but 3 or 4 doesn’t necessarily make it an R. Frankly, I’ll take bad language any day over violence.
