passion overseas classifications

The Passion of the Christ - overseas classifications What classifications was The Passion of the Christ given in other countries? Belgium 16 Finland 18 for excessive, sadistic, extreme and extensive violence. France 12 for oppressive scenes of flogging and crucifixion. Sub-commission was divided (7:1) between 12 and tous publics with a warning. Plenary favoured 12 over 16 by 23 votes to 4. (Tous publics is general admission.) Germany 16. Faithful to the Gospels. No glorification of violence. But too intense and emotionally demanding for 12 year olds who may also lack the knowledge to make sense of the events on screen. e charges of anti-Semitism were not founded. Ireland 15PG for brutal and unrelenting violence. But given the particular interest and awareness in Ireland of the subject matter, a higher classification was not necessary. However, a warning of the explicit violence in the work was carried on all publicity material. Netherlands 16 for violence and horror (fear). New Zealand R15: Prolonged sequences of brutal violence, torture and cruelty. Portugal 16 for strong physical violence. Sweden 15 for extensive and detailed scenes of gross assault and battery and crucifixion. UK 18 for strong bloody violence. Anti-semitism was not an issue for us in a film that was faithful to the Gospels. We discussed 15 given the well-known nature of the story and clear CA. But ulti mately, our guidelines on violence required the adult category. USA R: Under 17 requires accompanying parent or guardian. Rated R for sequences of graphic violence. Questions Why were such widely varying classifications given to this film? Why would countries have such different standards? What do you think about young children going to this film with their parents?
