He also explained that the
national rating system was based on
the premise that a minor is anyone
under 17. This explains why there
are area differences in who can see

since one is considered a minor
until he is 18.
Mr. Bendheim said that although
they are not forced to do so, almost
all of the theater owners abide by
the national rating system. He
insisted that movie theater owners
can not change a film's rating, and
that the ratings of films shown in
Charlottesville are the same as
anywhere else.
Just like the ratings, the laws in
Charlottesville are like everywhere
else: non-existent.
