Bully Overhauling the MPAA


This article discusses how the unrated documentary may be the tipping point for the ratings system. It summarizes the controversy that has surrounded the documentary and how the unrated film would be treated as an NC-17 release, not allowing many to see the important film. Celebrity support has caused certain theaters however to treat it as a rated R film. I believe this shows the power that celebrities and other high status individuals have and how the strict rules of the rating system can be overcome. The controversy has served to keep Bully in the headlines and has created a following and interest in the documentary.
