Thesis (M.A.)

Includes bibliographical references

This thesis explores the allure of motion pictures in transition by focusing on moments of controversy, and in the way, these moments play-out through constant negotiation between an industry and an audience. In this way, the project dismantles MPAA rhetoric about film regulation in order to analyze the regulatory themes of access, acceptability, and boundary maintenance. In doing so, the project examines the history of film regulation to provide context to contemporary controversies surrounding the PG-13 and NC-17 ratings. Through a critical cultural lens, each rating is evaluated according to its impact on viewers and its reflection of cultural standards and norms. For this project, the most credible rating controversies question the themes of acceptability for the PG-13 rating and access for the NC-17. In these moments, the rating system does not successfully respond to discourse from audiences and industry members and shows the inherent limitations of the film industry's self-regulatory practices. At the same time, the project notes the necessity of the rating system to ensure the long-term success of the industry, in addition to, the overall freedom of film content.
