Who are the BBFC?: The BBFC or British board of film classification are the people who decide what certifacate of age rating film should contain. This is very important and was started because young children were seing inappropriate and violent films and copying what they saw in the film. The BBFC was set up in 1912 for cineama screaning however it has also started to do videos, dvds etc since 1984.
What is allowed in a 15 film? The guidelines are split into boundries and sub catergories. These are: Discrimination, Drugs, Horror, Imitable Behaviour, Language, Nudity, Sex, Theme And Finally Violence. For all of these a 15 film has to have the guidelined ammount. For example for drugs, "Drug taking may be shown, however should not promote missuse". This means that 15 films are allowed to use drugs, however they must not show the full use of them or promote them to the audience. Another example is Horror,"Strong threat and meanass are permitted, unless sardistic or sexualised". This means that you are allowed to show most gruesome or gory scenes unless they are extremely over the top.
What is allowed in an 18 film? There is really no limit in an 18 movie. You are allowed to show pretty much almost anything. Examples of what 18 movies may contain are: "risks harm to individuals through violent and dangerous acts". "Illegal drug use" things such as these that could encourage younger minds to repeat these acts that is why they only allow persons who are 18 years or older to watch them at the cinema.
Is there a real difference between a 15 and 18? the answer is yes, depending on what the film contains, some very bad films may just scrape into being a 15 it all depends on the contents.
