Blue Valentine Movie Controversial Rating (Trailer)
Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling star in "Blue Valentine"
“Blue Valentine” is a film that first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year. It is scheduled for limited release on December 31st.
Academy Award Nominees Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams star in the movie that was previously given an NC-17 rating due to a “scene of explicit sexual content.”
However, Harvey Weinstein, of The Weinstein Company, made an appeal to the Motion Picture Association of America to change the rating of the film. It is now rated R instead. That is due to “strong graphic sexual content, language, and a beating.”
Yikes. Something you would want to watch? The film is about a marriage that falls apart after a few years of being together. What? You mean marriage isn’t easily and happily-ever-after all the time? Hmmm, maybe it is one to watch after all!
After the jump, you can view the trailer for the controversial movie. Don’t worry, the trailer isn’t explicit.
Will you watch Blue Valentine? Does knowing it was almost NC-17 change what you think of the film?

DrNeuser commented on Dec 14 10 at 4:58 pmI think the rating system for movies in our country is a joke. You can see explicit violence, blood shooting out of someone’s neck, graphic Saw movies, people being tortured, but a scene of sex and intimacy can get a NC-17 rating. Says something about our Christian values and hang ups with sex and female sexuality in particular.
Lynda Hamsen commented on Mar 03 11 at 10:30 pmThis will be in my memory book as one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my lifetime. Ryan Golsing took 50 steps backwards from The Notebook. He is the only reason I wanted to see this movie so I could see him play in something else again. It wasn’t his acting. It was the content. Though the story is true in real life, the nudity and sex scenes made me want to get up and leave. I really wanted my money back after the movie was over. And talk about an ending — it fell totally flat. Again, a real depictation of realty but who wants to see a movie and feel depressed when it’s over?
