Ethics

Case study - Game Of Thrones

- 3 iconic episodes which would would be rated at 18

- very strong language

- gore

- bloody scenes,

- sexual violence

- no flesh, muscle - allows it to be contained at a 15

- some things too gory and strong to be a 15 so would be qualified at a 18

- a lot of stabbings, organ pushing, blood

To The Bone

- rated a 15

- about a teenage girl with anorexia

- extremely anorexic girl, rib cage and shoulder blades, collar bone sticking out, make some audience members feel uncomfortable

- although she's seen in underwear, it is not at all sexualised

- scene of bleeding, irritated finger nails

- scene of a miscarriage, bloody shown

- no actual violence or gore, but there is discussions about bulimia, cutting and death

- naked girl laying on the floor, however no explicit nudity 

- strong, crude language throughout

- emotional scenes, sobbing - hard for some audience members 

- main character often smoking 

- Lily Collins, the actress who plays Ellen, was also treated for anorexia nervosa as a teenager, underwent “supervised weight loss” for the role.
