The Eight-Facet Info System The eight-digit number that accompanies review indicates the quantity of eight different facets commonly found in movies. These facets influence the MPAA ratings (e.g. PG-13), but are more detailed in the information they provide. For example, if you don't mind some violence, but can't stand gore, the MPAA rating doesn't help you much. The Eight-Facet Info System provides specifics about each. Ratings go from 0 (None) to 4 (Lots!), from left to right: Humor: From slapstick to witty wordplay. May not be intentional, so movies that aren't supposed to be funny may get a higher rating than movies that should be funny, but aren't. Sexual References: Innuendoes to blatant references, removing of clothing, situations, or such things that would make one think of sex. Nudity: Nudity. I mean real nudity, not concealed in heavy shadows, seen through translucent glass, or just the back from the waist up. Sexual Activity: Things beyond kissing and holding hands. You know. Action: Chase scenes, explosions, gun play, suspense, tension, danger, criminal activity, competitions, heroism, etc. Violence: Hitting, kicking, people being shot, killed, injured, etc. Gore: Blood, damaged flesh, bones or organs, rotting bodies, etc. Profanity: Naughty words. F-ck, sh-t, Oxf-rd, etc.
