Age ratings in the UK, the USA, Australia and Canada, and why they exist, sentence 22
A U or G film can still be sad or a little scary; a rating says what is suitable, not how it will make you feel.
Who acts: U film, rating, you · What happens: be, say, not make, not feel · To what, where: little, you · Speech: someone speaks here
