According to LA Times, when director Bill Condon showed the final installment of Breaking Dawn before its released to Motion Picture Assn. of America, the panel was dismayed over the method of killing.
However, for Condon, who took a grueling six-months to shoot the movie, "Certainly, with any other movie, there are a thousand ways to kill people."
"With this one, it’s a variation on the same theme. If they were going to be offended by the idea of beheadings, we would have had no movie."
The Motion Picture Assn. of America initially handed a provisional R rating for Breaking Dawn 2. So far, the MPAA has not responded for comment on the issue.
Condon, and Summit Entertainment Co-Chairman Rob Friedman, together with production president Eric Feig, had already sent letters of explanation and request for rating upgrade to MPAA. Condon explained the necessity of having the scenes done that way.
"Their big note was the accumulated intensity of [the film's critical scene. In the end, there were very specific suggestions about how we pull back on the sound and the crunching of the head being separated from the neck."
For MPAA, the film has its "sequences of violence including disturbing images, some sensuality and partial nudity" granting it a PG-13 rating.
