Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

There's talk of a pagan symbol for man being a triangle shape that's noted as being phallic. Leigh then jokes that the philosophy was the more penises one had, the more powerful they were. That's followed by talk of the pagan symbol for woman being an inverted triangle from that (representing the womb). This leads back to Christ and the mention that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute, but Leigh says that was a lie and that she was really Christ's wife. A glimpse of a man's buttocks is apparent, although you already know he is fully nude. A dead man is fully nude and you see his upright body from an above camera angle. Light obscures most things. There is a brief ritualistic sex scene where a man and a woman copulate in front of a gathering of people. The man apparently climaxes, but there is no visible nudity.

Violence & Gore

We see an older curator slowly running through a museum and removing a painting from the wall to activate the security system. A gate drops down and closes an opening, but Silas points his gun through it at the man, warning him to give Silas the information he wants. When the curator won't, Silas shoots him (apparently in the gut). We then see the wounded curator stumbling along, with blood on his hands. We see a man hurt himself for Jesus. He believes we should suffer like Christ did on the cross so in the movie we see him in the nude beating himself with a whip and chains. You do see blood. You see a dead man with terrible cuts on his body.

Profanity

At least 4 "s" words (2 in English subtitles), 2 hells, 1 ass (used with "hole"), 2 uses each of "For God's sakes" and "My God" and 1 use each of "Christ," "Dear God," "Good God" and "Jesus."

Sophie and Robert come across a junkie getting ready to shoot up in a park at night (he's heating a spoon with an open flame). Sophie then convinces him not to do so and breaks the needle off the syringe.

Seeing French police waiting for them at the American embassy, Sophie rapidly drives in reverse through heavy traffic to elude them (barely making it between two trucks, with a side-view mirror being torn off in the process).

Odd-colored scenes throughout showing a very frightening car crash, a beating to the head, lots of blood throughout the film.
