The thing that was new to me, that I have learned in JOUR 2 was the MPAA and how it controls what we see. This has affected my media literacy in that I now see how corrupt the movie system is and that it runs itself with an iron fist. My understanding of the media messages have changed in that the media is a very effective propaganda tool in terms of shaping how we as people think and perceive things in life.
I just saw Rango (PG-13) and was thinking about how the MPAA would view it. The ratings must be such a pain for creative film-makers.
