Blue Is the Warmest ColorOpen the door to minors
Movie network news MPAA (American Film Association) rated this year’s Cannes Palme d ‘Or film as NC-17 (that is, restricted, minors are not allowed to watch it), because there are a lot of sex scenes in the film, but this did not prevent new york students and teenagers from entering the cinema to watch the film — — Someone made an exception and opened the back door for them.
It is reported that The IFC Center in Greenwich, new york, despite MPAA’s advice, opened its doors to boys and girls under the age of 17 and welcomed them to watch Adele’s Life. A·O· Scott, a The New York Times reporter who reported this story, said that his 14-year-old daughter had seen the film here twice.
"This is not a movie for children," said the manager of IFC, "but according to our judgment, it is not inappropriate to allow mature and curious minors to watch it. Like adults, they will face emotional challenges and opportunities. "
In view of the fact that there are about 15 minutes of same-sex sex sex scenes in the film, no one questions the classification of NC-17. However, the classification of MPAA only serves as a suggestion, which has long been used by American cinemas as a standard, but it has no legal effect. However, there are still a few people who openly challenge the grading like IFC. It can only be said that Adele’s Life has a good reputation to support it.
In France, the country of production, Life of Adele is rated as "12", which means that anyone over 12 can watch it in the cinema, which is one of the most relaxed areas. Recently, however, there have been negative voices. An art theater in Idaho, USA, called for boycotting the film because it "violated the law on liquor sales".
The Life of Adele is adapted from the French cartoon "Blue is the Warmest Tone", with abdel kechiche, who has been shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award for three times, as the director and Léa Seydoux and adele exarchopoulos as the stars. The film won rave reviews, scored the highest score of 3.6 points in the history of Cannes Film Festival, and finally won the highest award & the Palme d ‘Or — — Although it is regarded as the largest lesbian-themed film, although the film is as long as three hours, and the chairman of the jury is conservative Steven Allan Spielberg, its award shows that the film is shocking enough.
Adele’s Life will continue to be shown at IFC Center in new york from this Friday.
