How far is too far for a PG-13 rating?
0:03
From shocking gore to some messed up
0:05
implications, it's truly wild what some
0:08
movies get away with.
0:10
>> Let's put a smile on that face.
0:13
>> Well, Christopher Nolan's bat
0:15
masterpiece isn't a [music] particularly
0:17
bloody movie. It doesn't shy away from
0:19
its violent side, either. Even
0:20
cinematographer Wally Pfister was
0:22
surprised that it didn't earn an R
0:24
rating. He once told Vulture, "It's kind
0:26
of shocking that The Dark Knight ended
0:28
up being PG-13. All of Chris's movies
0:30
would be PG-13 to open it up to a wider
0:32
audience. Somehow, he always had some
0:35
magic with the MPAA." Pfister referenced
0:38
one particularly gruesome scene as an
0:39
example of the movie's violent
0:41
tendencies. You probably know which one
0:43
we're talking about. As he said, [music]
0:45
"Lo and behold, he has the pencil, and
0:47
I'm like, 'You are not getting the PG-13
0:50
with that. There's no way this is going
0:52
at. He's driving this pencil through a
0:54
guy's head.' And I was wrong." Nolan and
0:57
his crew were clearly cutting it fine
0:59
[music] here by using the pencil trick
1:01
as the punchline to a joke. However,
1:04
they [music] managed to narrowly avoid
1:05
that dreaded R rating.
