BBFC

The BBFC is there to set age restrictions on films based on guidelines created restricting those of a certain age from viewing the film. The BBFC get their funding from the distributors that pay them to review the film. It's linked with the government through their financial affairs.

The examiners would view the content, they do this on their own(solo viewing). From this they then identify the story line of the film, bad language sex and drugs references and key moments.

The issue classifying a film is depending on the content that the film contains itself and how the audience may react upon it.

The dark knight was seen to be a 15 film due to the nature of the film which was the violent scenes that were displayed and the language that was being used in the film. It was seen inappropriate for those of an age below 15.

The guidelines for a 15 film are strong language allowed and sexual references in context to the narrative, however repeated and frequent use of unnecessary language isn't allowed, some blood and gore.

Adulthood was given a 15 rating film was because it has some sexual references, strong language, some blood and gore which is part of the restrictions. The film didn't contain too much blood or gore and it linked back to the story when displayed for the audience. The language used was frequent but wasn't too strong.
