In Spain it is for those over 12 too, Americans have a strange relationship with sex. But in any case, if due to a breakdown you couldn't stop on the screens, they should have put something for all audiences. I'm not a very strict parent, but I don't want them to force my 5-year-old daughter to watch something for people over 13.
Well, back in my day it was totally normal for a plane to show one movie for everyone. There used to be one screen at the front of each aisle, and sometimes a few more that came down from the ceiling, but this whole personal entertainment system where you get to choose what you want to watch, is brand new relatively speaking. You used to get on the plane, find out what movie they’re playing, and choose whether or not to plug in headphones.
I agree though, if the system is broken, just leave it off.
Greetings, fellow geezer! The difference is that those movies were easy to ignore. If it's on the screen right before your eyes it's going to be annoying.
Edit: I'll elaborate, since I'm just being downvoted:
Young kids emulate everything they see. They do not always think before they do something.
Let a kid watch a sex scene and now you might be getting a call from school that your kid was taking his clothes off with another kid and playing "the airplane movie" game where they squish their genitals together.
