Abstract

Films depicting individuals dealing with mental health have not been discussed from the viewpoint of movie advisory boards, the entities informing moviegoers of potential inappropriate contents included in films. Movies considered best by the Center for Mental Health Services were investigated for age-classifications and their justifications. All of the boards investigated, chosen as they provide some sort of justification for the age-decisions, cited profanity as their main concern. In the US, the UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and Singapore, these movies are mainly considered suitable for adult moviegoers, while the Australian and Dutch boards are far more lenient.
