4/10
There is plenty of vulgar content, including many references to sexuality. This should probably go in 'profanity'
There's a long scene wherein an audience is watching a movie comprised solely of a shot of a a man's behind (naked buttocks). "Fart" sounds are heard.
Several references to masturbation, fornication and prostitution. Never actually seen - just talk.
The "average person" in the future constantly has sex on his/her mind.
There are "adult" tax returns.

3/10
A person is sentenced to "Rehabilitation" in a public execution arena, and attempts to rehabilitate the convict are shown -- including trying to rehabilitate him with a flame thrower. The results of rehabilitation tend to be lethal.
One recurring male character is constantly kicked or otherwise impacted by a hard object in the groin. This is supposed to be funny - to the morons in the future.
A man is repeatedly sprayed in the face with some irritating substance (like pepper spray).
In prison, an immensely overweight shirtless man sits on the face/neck of an other man, who can't breathe as a result. It's implied that the protagonist will be in his place once he gets in there. |
| profanity |
5/10
- 'Fuck' and its derivatives are used around 30 times.
- Several anatomical references. Many characters have a very crude sense of humour.
- Around 60 sexual references (verbal); dozens visual, including a giant dildo atop an assault vehicle. Dildo eventually dis-adheres from vehicle & goes sailing into the audience (in Rehabilitation scene).
- Occasional religious profanity (always to Christianity).
- Several businesses have vulgar words in the titles.
- The words "fag/s" and "retard" (or versions of the words) are used as insults, a lot. |

Doctor smokes a joint. |

3/10
Overwhelming towers of garbage are depicted. What appears to be a natural valley w/many hills here & there turns out to be a valley comprised solely of refuse.
Freeway overpasses end abruptly, going nowhere. At least one vehicle is seen driving off an overpass & falling to the ground.
Domiciles are equipped with large overstuffed chairs with built-in toilets; overlarge TV screens overwhelm living-rooms. Program choices are not uplifting. There is a Violence Channel.
Barren farm fields are depicted. Vast unemployment occurs; people are protesting the situation.
An unfortunate, starving Mother is depicted loosing much money to a food vending machine; after the machine ignores her request for a refund, a loud siren sounds as we hear an alarming announcement that the police have been notified to come arrest her. No children are seen.
The White House is depicted in a derelict state, with satellite dishes mounted atop it. The country is primarily run like a police-state.
To participate in society, a person has their own UPC code on their left wrist. There is little privacy.
Overall: 16+ for profanity (especially sexual profanity), plus it takes a certain maturity to understand what the movie, as a parable, has to say about contemporary society. |
