Age Certificates and WW2 Films

The first film that Katy found doing this research was 'Age of Heroes' which is a true story based on the formation of Ian Fleming's 30 commando unit, a precursor for the elite forces within the U.K. and was released in 2011 at the running time of 90 minutes long. The age certificate on this film was a 15, meaning that there would be some references to stronger language, violent scenes; which are expected within a war film or mild sexual references.

The second film she found was 'Inglourious Basterds' which was based on Nazi occupied France during WW2, with the plan to assassinate Nazi leaders in a group of Jewish U.S soldiers. This filmed was given the age certificate of 18, This means that this film would involve high violent scenes which would most likely be extremely graphic which could scare younger viewers, as well as strong language would more than likely be used.
