Quote:Well, IMO the difference between swearing/nudity and violence in movies is that the violence is fake, but the swearing and nudity are "real".
Swear words are just words. I think it would be an excellent lesson in "words only have as much meaning as people allow them to." Excellent for dealing with propaganda, hate speech, etc.
Also, if certain cultures would just get over the fact that the human body isn't something to be ashamed of, perhaps there would be less angst about a whole host of matters.
Quote:if something violent is happening in the movie and the kid is asking questions and/or is scared, the parent can tell them "don't worry, it's just pretend".
Somehow I doubt that would make The Silence Of The Lambs or Saving Private Ryan any more bearable, given how much they ring true
