The ‘R’-rating Prohibition and ‘The King’s Speech’

Over on her weekly column ‘Salt and Seed’, Rosalynde Welch discusses the move away from the LDS Church teaching that ‘R’ rated movies (for it’s US members) are forbidden. She focusses on how, specifically, ‘The King’s Speech’ this year marked the demise of this former ‘standard’, being watched, loved and recommended by droves of happy LDS film-goers.

On a personal note, my LDS parents and both my Grandmas went to see it, and they all loved it. They even told us how they understood the need for the ‘strong’ language!

‘The times, they are a-changin’!’
