my mom wont let me watch The Matrix!
i mean, i watched The Matrix yesterday, when she was out, but i didn't really think it would be an issue, even though its rated R for Violence. It was really cool, and even the violence wasn't really scary.. I've been more scared in some PG-13 movies than the Matrix. And there was like 1 kiss in it, so I don't think it was also rated R for sexual stuff. so since i liked it, the next day i got the 2 sequels, and i just started watching the Matrix Reloaded. My mom came back from work and walked in the room RIGHT when Neo and Trinity were having sex. Geez, if i had known that was going to happen, I would have just skipped it, but no, my mom overreacted, and after finding out it was rated R, told me to take out the DVD. and since i got it from my library and im 13, she went like balistic. she was like talking on the phone and saying how its wrong for the people to give R rated movies to kids like that. Before i got out Pretty Woman cause my friend saw it and said it was good, but i didnt watch it cause my mom had saw it and knew it was R so she didn't want me to see it. but the thing with the Matrix.. I think its wrong. The 2nd one, I looked at the "parents guide". the violence is mostly bloodless, except for one part where some object goes through some guy's stomach and blood splats on the screen. the cuss words are cuss words you'd normally hear, like prick, fuck, but they don't cuss that much. and yeah the only like "sexual" part is where neo and trinity have sex but theres NO nudity!!!!!!!! yeah like my mom would listen to that. I know R movies are for 15 year olds but i cant wait that long just to watch the 2 movies. I really wanna watch them, and my mom actually said she's gonna talk to the library people not to give R rated movies to kids not looking over 15. i guess i could look like im 15 since im tall and stuff, but I dont see whats so wrong. there are other R rated movies that really are gross but the Matrix isn't as bad as my mom makes it to be. Help! is my mom right or what can i do to like fix this whole thing up and possibly convince her to let me watch it?

well technically you have to be 17 to go to the theater or to rent an R rated movie....no the Matrix isn't bad...I honestly never realized why it was rated R...but some movies are...your mom is only looking out for you...she probably doesn't know all of the movies that are good or bad...she just sees the rating and thinks that it could be bad...and if she hasn't seen it then she's going to automatically assume that it's not good because of it's rating...cut her some slack...she's only doing what she thinks is right. I personally think she is in a way...if the library isn't checking people to make sure that they are old enough but they look old enough they could be giving like American Pie to a 10 year old...so yes your mom has a point in that...but next time you want to watch an R rated movie talk to her about it...find out why it's rated R and maybe watch it with her...she'll probably feel better if you don't hide them behind her back.
