There's almost nothing to say about a movie like The Hunger Games - it's been so worked to death to be a successful blockbuster that all of its edges, the things that make a film good or bad, have disappeared. However, the US PG-13 version was submitted to the BBFC for the UK Blu-ray release, which was classified '15' uncut. This pre-cut version was released on DVD in the UK with a 12 rating. The BBFC then gave the film a 12A rating for cinema release. Blood splashes were digitally removed from both impacts to bodies and blood on blades of weapons, achieved through the darkening of certain shots and by digitally erasing blood from the image. When the finished film was submitted to the BBFC for a formal classification, the BBFC stated that more cuts would be needed in order to secure the 12A. These included the use of alternate footage and the digital removal of blood. Four scenes were changes, removing bloody violence, threat and a scene of injury. ![]() The BBFC explained a 12A rating would be likely if the violence was toned down. A rough cut of the film was submitted to the BBFC in the UK for an advisory screening, a process used by filmmakers to see how likely a film will obtain a certain rating. ![]() ![]() This is often belied by its easy, popular prose style, but one does not have to look far into the footnotes, or think deeply about the arguments, to realize that Stark is applying his well-known work in the study of religious growth in general to the very specific 2000 year history of the faith which shaped the Western world from top to bottom. In addition to being a well-documented work, it is a methodologically sophisticated one. ![]() What is perhaps more remarkable is the nuanced way in which Stark approaches this evidence. His assertions are invariably backed up with copious, well-documented evidence. ![]() All this could make Stark seem like a crank, a writer of those alternative histories that take the thinnest thread of evidence and try to weave it into what amounts to a shoddy piece of work. ![]() ![]() Clare Mackintosh is the multi-award-winning author of New York Times bestseller I LET YOU GO, and Sunday Times bestsellers I SEE YOU, LET ME LIE and AFTER THE END.

Separating life into subjects isn't necessary or natural. Learning is pleasurable if it is not forced on us.

School is only one of many choices for our children in our technologically advanced world. We are parenting and educating our children today to succeed in a joyful, productive life by following their passions, not someone else's agenda.

The parent's role is to facilitate their interests and curiosity. ![]() Radical Unschooling philosophy focuses on trust of a child's innate ability to learn without coercion and invites children to explore their passions.
