However, I&#8217;ve seen several PG-13 films that I felt should have been rated R. Take for instance, &#8220;The Dark Knight.&#8221; That movie is rated PG-13, yet there&#8217;s a ton of disturbing stuff in that film. I was actually surprised the film was rated for ages 13 and up&#8211;that film was doing the most with toeing the line. <\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re of the same opinion that PG-13-rated films rivals that of R-rated films, then check out this post at Entertainment Weekly. News is going around that a new study called &#8220;Gun Violence Trends in Movies&#8221; shows that PG-13-rated films are, in fact, just as violent than R-rated films. According to the study, the amount of gun violence in PG-13-rated films have rivaled the amount found in R-rated films since 2009. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s disturbing that PG-13 movies are filled with so much gun violence,&#8221; said Dan Romer, a co-author of the study and the director of the Adolescent Communication Institute of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, in a press release. &#8220;We know that movies teach children how adults behave, and they make gun use appear exciting and attractive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The study also highlights how murky the PG-13 rating is, making it a boon for movie studios. Just from a layperson&#8217;s perspective, I think this is why there&#8217;s so much violence in PG-13 movies; the rating qualifications are so basic&#8211;the violence has to be cartoony or not realistic, and what is considered &#8220;cartoony&#8221; is subjective to the viewer or producer&#8211;that films that should be regulated get away with tons of violence. <\/p>\n<p>You can read more about this study at <a href=\"http:\/\/insidemovies.ew.com\/2013\/11\/11\/gun-violence-study\/\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a>.
