ETHICAL ISSUES
GAME OF THRONES
- GOT is known for being very gory
- Based on books
- Some ethical issues that are in GOT are such things as; strong language, nudity, sexual scenes, blood
- Most episodes are classified 15
- 13 episodes are rated 18 depending on different factors such as sexual scenes, heavy language and gory scenes or strong bloody violence
- 18 rated episodes include; "mountain and the viper", "battle of the snows"
- Red wedding although controversial is still a 15. This is controversial because a pregnant character is stabbed in the stomach on screen. This is because there are no scenes of gapping wounds or flesh
- Mountain and the viper was very gory. A lot of blood is shown. Considered one of the most gory scenes in GOT
- Battle of the snows was considered one of the best fight scenes on GOT, contains realistic war violence. Very realistic war scene so classified as an 18, very gory, organs shown, flesh shown, lots of blood so therefore was too strong to be considered as a 15.
THE BLUE LAGOON
- Rated 15 by BBFC
- NBC edited 9 minutes from this film for its 1982 network television premiere due to modify and sexual content.
- Brooke Shields was only fourteen years of age when the movie was made
- The two characters who grew sexually active with each other are brother and sister so lots of ethical issues surrounding incest were brought up
- The siblings end up having a child together is was considered very morally wrong as well.

ReplyDeleteVery thorough analysis of ethical issues on the sheets. However, for GoT and Blue Lagoon I would like you to follow the same approach - give specific examples and explain exactly what the specific ethical issues are - this needs redrafting please.
