Oct 26,1979
| nudity | Some references. Sensual dancing at a college dance. Bull and Lillian begin to have sex but stop (nothing is seen except kissing). |
| violence | Some violence, but with little or no blood. Boys foul each other on purpose at a basketball game -SPOILERS- and one of them eventually gets a broken arm. A man grabs another man's head and holds it under a cart, threatening to start the cart and tear his head off if the man moves (he doesn't). A man teases another man, then smashes some of that man's property. Fighter pilots fly a practice run in which they pretend to shoot each other. A man shoots a dog (little blood) then aims at another dog and shoots at it, -SPOILERS- but accidentally shoots a man instead (blood sprays). A man dies of a gunshot wound (intense). A man shoves his wife and is then thrown into a refrigerator by his son. A man is mauled by dogs (nothing is seen but we hear screaming and gross noises). This man's graphically ripped face is later seen, but it is dark and from a distance. Bull is constantly unstable and struggling not to become violent with his family. |
| profanity | Repeated use of damn, hell, bastard, son of a bitch, shit, and nigger. Jesus Chr*st |
| alcohol | Alcohol is drunk constantly. Ben drinks on his 18th birthday and eventually becomes drunk. |
| frightening | Strong thematic material including racism and dysfunctional domestic violence is constant. Most of these are spoilers, but let it be said that this is not an easy movie to watch, |
