NC-17
editIt was also instrumental in creating the NC-17 rating, along with Henry & June in light of a lawsuit brought on by Miramax and Almodóvar to the MPAA for being certified with an X rating, which carried the stigma of being associated with pornography.
Is there a source for this? I saw this mentioned on Almodovar's page, too, but I didn't see any mention of this lawsuit or movie over on the NC-17 page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.38.216.134 (talk) 23:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Combining the IMDB link
editThe IMDB listing for this movie is now just "¡Átame!" . A search for "Tie me up Tie me down" brings up just the "¡Átame!" page so I'm going to change the link on this page to reflect that. Coradon (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC).
There is a lot of interpretation in this article. It needs to be cleaned up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.105.45.240 (talk) 14:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Personal interpretation
editAs someone already commented before, the synopsis section of this article contains an awful lot of original interpretation. If no one objects I will go through and remove content like "The ending reminds one of the graduate" etc (which is most of it). If someone finds some external commentary that can be sourced then feel free to add it appropriately. ArdClose (talk) 10:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
x rating reserved for "hardcore"? not true
editit's simply not true that a rating of X was reserved for hardcore sex movies. Midnight Cowboy famously received and then won the Oscar for best picture. Angel Heart received an X because the camera lingered too long on Mickey Rourke's humping butt on top of Lisa Bonet, so the offending scene was cut, and resubmitted and the film got an R rating instead. Eyes Wide Shut got an X too until it digitally reedited to including people blocking the offending orgy scene. (oh, that wasn't censorship of the recently dead Stanley Kubrick, since the offending matter was still there, but covered . . . LoL.)
porn movies were not submitting to the rating board anyway, and they still aren't. they used XXX instead of X.
it's the association in the public's (confused and misinformed) mind of X as XXX rather than how actual movies were rated.
and a problem that foreign films were more likely to receive an X.
