After reading the Lord-Quigley Code, I understand why they created such a proposal. They wanted to protect the people from violence, sin, and sex. They wanted the people to understand what was good and what was bad. The code clearly states that there should be absolutely no material in a film that shows immoral behavior. I don’t completely agree with everything the code expected from the film industry, but I do understand where they were coming from.
Reasons supporting the general principles:
The key points that this section covered was how evil and sin shouldn’t be portrayed as “alluring” and how the law should not be “ridiculed”. They did not want evil to appeal to the audience or feel sympathy for the wrong that the person has committed. They also, did not want the law to be scorned for punishing a criminal for their sins by the audience. They wanted to protect the audience, they did not want them to do evil or sin like what they saw on film.
