Parents blast 'graphic’ hanging scene in new live-action Pinocchio film

By LUKE ANDREWS

 

Matteo Garrone's adaptation of Pinocchio stays close to the book, which was published in 1883. Above is Pinocchio inside Gepetto's hut in Tuscany, Italy

 

Horrified parents have slammed the new live-action Pinocchio movie as 'completely unacceptable' after the direction included a scene where the puppet is placed in a noose and hung from a tree.

 

Matteo Garrone's adaptation of the 1883 novel has been heralded by critics as both a 'horror movie' and 'frighteningly true to the book'.

 

But after the PG-rated motion-picture was released on August 14 parents have queued up to blast the production as 'violent' and warned it made their children burst into floods of tears.

 

'Please do not take your kids to see this film,' one shocked parent wrote. 'I am heartbroken. Scenes of him being hung dead on a tree. Graphic. Violent. I'm so gutted the girls have witnessed that.'

Have no intent  nor  desire to  watch this  movie.

But as a movie I presume  has been  touted  for  family  entertainment a "hanging"  seems  out  of  order !

It's not a family film.

 

It's PG (Parental Guidance), US:

 

"Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents urged to give "parental guidance". May contain some material parents might not like for their young children."

 

If you want a family film you need, in the US:

 

G (General Audiences)  "All ages admitted. Nothing that would offend parents for viewing by children."

 

In the UK:

 

Uc (Universal Children) "Suitable for all, but especially suitable for children under 4".

 

U (Universal) "Suitable for all. (The board states that while they cannot predict what might upset a particular child; a 'U' film should be suitable for audiences aged 4 and older)"

 

PG in the UK includes: 

 

"General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children. (It is the board's policy that movies rated 'PG' should not disturb a child of about 8 years of age or older; however, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset young or more sensitive children)"

 

Because of that rating any parent taking a child to a PG should find out first what the film contains, and wonder if it's a good ides.

 

Obviously they didn't.

Maybe they should have read the book first.
