I thought the paper was well organized. They gave background information to the reader about what and why the code was created. I thought they did a good job of analyzing the code as a whole and not just section by section. The code analyzed a section of the code well, but it would of been better if you’ll analyzed details of a section in relation to the entire code. As far as the movie scarface goes, it appears that Hay’s code was loosely applied to the movie. I think the rating system we have now is far better than the code back then. It is less strict.

I think the way you constructed an overall summary of your section was a lot easier to read and allowed you to express your agreements and disagreements in an effective way. However, I also believe that by following each section of the code itself, you may have been able to include more detail. The introduction was wonderful, you included a synopsis of your section so I was able to follow the rest of your report. My only complaint is: instead of saying “they” I would express exactly who “they” are. The agreements/disagreements section was also good, I maybe would include exactly who agreed and disagreed with what. The Scarface and Rating System sections were both excellent and very detailed-I don’t really have any questions here. You note that the code was applied through the alternate endings because no one should feel sorry for Tony in the end. I would agree with this. As far as today’s rating system, I agree that it is very different from what was used in the 30s and has its advantages and disadvantages over the Quigely Code. I think, however, that the rating system is probably better than the code because it doesn’t infringe on Free Speech like you wrote in your paragraph. Overall, wonderful job and excellent coverage!

1. Some of the strengths with the report there clear organization of the subjects, and a good summary of the main points of the the section of the code.

2. The coverage of this particular part of the code was good, but it might help to include some specific details on the this part of the code.

3. In regards to to what they say about the code’s relation to the production scarface it basically says that code seems to have been loosely applied to the movie that is while some scenes were changed others seem to have slipped past the censors.

- Add Group # and names of the group members on the top.
- Might want to add bullets to emphasize each individual section and the person responsible for that section.
- good job with agreements and disagreements, how the code reflects to Scarface, and rating system.

The coverage of the Code on each report and any questions you have about the summary

- Needs more specific summary of the code (key points and assumptions from page 305)

Your reaction to what each group says about the application of their section of the Code to the production history of Scarface and its potential applicability today.

- your last two paragraphs seem to cover connection b/w Scarface and the rating system. I agree with the rating system of today vs. censorship that rating system is relaxed compared to the past. As far as paragraph 3, it would help to break down “how the code was loosely applied,” before jumping to “Had no code been established.”
