Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • Shit, frick, and 3 f-words. The sentences containing the f-words: "They just plain f**king stole everything, with the stroke of a pen.", "And he said, 'Don't f**k it up.'", "What the f**k happened?"
  • Three f-words \Fuck not fanny, faeces, fat, fag, fart, fellatio, fascism etc etc as well as some relatively minor vulgar language (bitch, ass, damn). A few pieces of lesser profanity occasionally.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The rich are seen in stock footage drinking champagne. A girl is sent to Juvenile Hall (prison by any other name) for smoking marijuana. The smoking of cigarettes, directly and while using holders.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • nil.
  • The whole movie reeks of injustice where the poor suffer and become poorer and the notion of plutocracy is ensconced by the elite.
  • The hijacking of treasury by Wall street is very scary and creates a sense of despair in many viewers. This is heightened by the revelations of Goldman Sachs almost total control of the treasury and presidency. The names of so many familiar and formerly respected institutions shown as the villains they are may be shocking for many.
  • The whole subject of predatory leading and its consequences (only on the poor) is frightening coming from the institutions we trusted.
