In turn, the creators of the paintings in the person of the director of Derek Chianfrans and the producer Jamie Patriculi expressed outrage to the awarded rating. In an interview with E! Online, the producer spent parallels between Blue Valentine and some recently released projects: "I watched the" cranks "and was amazed by the number of scenes depicting men's genitals. Sitting in the hall, I thought about whether I want my 15 -Lening daughter saw this film - I do not want. But what about the "blue Valentine"? I don't think that this work would have wounded it in any way. I want to ask those who award the rating: Really rape and killing a 13-year-old teenager In the "cute bones" deserves the rating of PG-13 (children under 13 are allowed for a film only with parents)? ".
However, the problem is that by applying an appeal to the revision of the rating, the creators do not have the right to refer to third-party paintings, so the film crew "Blue Valentine" does not intend to cut a spicy scene to mitigate the rating. "Everything will remain as it is," the producer emphasized.
