All is nothing. Therefore nothing must end.

Who the heck comes up with the ratings for movies? Because I seriously think they have some mental deficiencies - and yes I am aware of how ironic it is for me to make that call with all things considered.

These days I have watched PG movies that would've been rated M15+ back when I were a wee lass. I have seen movies that were rated "low level language" only to hear expletives bursting forth from the speakers every 2 minutes. I have rented movies that were classed as not very violent, only to discover people getting pummeled left right and centre. But this one takes the cake!

My Left Foot is the story of Christy Brown, an Irish poet/writer/painter who suffered from an extremely bad case of cerebral palsy. It's an interesting story that seems to make you want to laugh, cry and start beating on people for being completely and utterly disrespectful and down right cruel. All in all it was an excellent movie. Well written, well acted, and very deserving of its Oscar. I was saddened to find, however, that his life didn't turn out all that great. In the end they make out like he found love and lived happily ever after. Only a bit of research using my favourite intermanet tool, Google, told me that he was married for 9 years, taken away from his family, and possibly physically abused by his wife of whom was an alcoholic and a prostitute. His family also indicated that they believe she was responsible for his death in 1981 at the age of 49. It's sad when people who can't defend themselves and are very well meaning and full of heart are taken advantage of.

Anyway, back to what I was saying. The only problem I found with the movie was the rating. "Frequent coarse language". I didn't notice this in the store otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up. But I am glad that wasn't the case, because I would've missed out on a really great film and all because the people who rate movies are completely deranged.

During the course of this film of which lasted about 2 hours, I counted the use of the 'F word' a total of 8 times. Ass was said once but seriously, who's going to care about that? Now how do they figure that is frequent? I've heard more frequent bad language in a retirement village.
