BBFC Regulation

1)
The BBFC (British Board of Film classification) is responsible for rating films to a certain age rating. It has alliances with laws which is it's connection with the government.

2)
Films are sent to the BBFC (British Board of Film classification) where they are watched and rated. The ratings are based off a number of aspects like violence, nudity, strong language etc. After watching the entire movie, the watcher will give it a rating out of Universal (U), Parental guidance (PG), Cinema release 12 years or older (12A(in orange)), Video release 12 years or older (12(in red)), 15 years or older (15), 18 years or older (18) or Adult works for licensed premises only (R18).

3)
Some people say that the BBFC is limiting the way film makers are able to create their art within the film. They believe that a lot of film makers have steered their initial idea because of a rating from the BBFC. Others believe that the BBFC is doing a good job by rating films a certain age so that certain groups of audiences are protected from possible harmful content. Furthermore, people believe that the BBFC were trying to stay relevant to the changes occurring in the film industry.

4)
I feel like The Dark Knight shouldn't have been a 12A because of the violence in the movie. There are many scenes that yes are clearly not supposed happen in real life but sometimes there are younger children who decide to act silly and do it. Another problem would be the look of the joker. He was not exactly the most pleasant looking character who also speaks with strong language is a bit more suitable for a little older audiences. I would suggest this movie to be a 15 instead of a 12A.
