《北京青年报》日前就中国电影要不要分级的问题发表评论说,是否分级已经争论了许多年,这回因天津等地发生恐怖片吓坏少女的事情而愈发凸现出来。其实无论有没有发生类似事件,中国电影也早该分级了。评论认为,电影的分级是电影业完全市场化的必然。电影分级制的必要性不言自明,其道理也很简单,只是不知为何有关部门至会仍拿不出个章程来。这无疑极大地限制了国产影片市场的发展。电影发展到了21世纪,WTO也已经堵到我们家门口了,若再耽搁下去,不知我们将怎样与国际市场“接轨”。 Beijing Youth Daily recently commented on whether grading of Chinese movies should be graded or not. The grading has been debated for many years. This time, the horrors of horrifying girls in Tianjin and elsewhere have become more apparent. In fact, no matter whether there is any similar incident, the Chinese movie should have been graded as well. The commentary argues that the classification of the film is an inevitable result of the full marketization of the film industry. The necessity of the film classification system is self-evident. The reason is also very simple. I just do not know why the relevant departments will still not get a charter. This undoubtedly greatly limits the development of domestic video market. The film developed to the 21st century, the WTO has blocked our doorstep, and if further delay, I do not know how we will be “in line with the international market.”
