I, Daniel Blake & Jack Reacher age rating comparison

According to BBFC I, Daniel Blake got a 15 age rating classification due to the film containing uses of very strong language ('c**t'), as well as more frequent use of strong language ('f**k'). The film also got its 15 rating due to its visual and verbal references to prostitution. Jack Reacher however got a 12A rating by making sure its violence, language and "Taboo" themes were portrayed in mild careful ways, making sure to not show too much so not to obtain a higher rating.This was done by not showing extreme violence(gory violence for example) and cutting of an actor before they say strong language ("what the fuc-") basically implicating what is happening so the audience can follow the action but not actually showing it to avoid a 15 or 18 rating.

  1. ... and what do you think of that Michael?

    What do you think the BBFC should protect under-age viewers from - bad language, or representations of violence?

    Do you have a view on the BBFC at all?

    What use do age certificates serve in the 21st Century?
