Day Nine was an early start as we had to be in the lobby at 8:30 to head over to the IFCO Museum. We walked over to the IFCO Museum, and were greeted by Dave, who is one of their classification officers. <\/p>\n\n\n

He classifies films based on how suitable they are for people. He took us into the theater and explained that classifiers base a films rating on four categories \u2013 Violence, Drugs, Sexual Content, and Language. Based on how strong these categories are will determine whether the film gets a G, PG, 12A, 15A, 16, or 18 rating. 12A functions like a PG-13 rating in America. And 15A and 16 are similar to an R rating. 18 is similar to our NC-17 rating. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After he explained these to us, we watched an Irish Short Film called The Golden West<\/em>, and would have to classify it. It was about a pair of sisters searching for gold in the Irish countryside, and they fight and get into arguments over what they are doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was a very good short film; however it had some very adult themes, mainly that had to do with suicide. As a result, we gave the film a 15A classification. After that I had a really good breakfast burrito, and then worked on my paper for the class, as I did it on IFCO. <\/p>\n\n\n

Later, I went with Ash to Phoenix Park. This is supposed to be the largest park in Europe, and it was so beautiful. There were many nice trees, and plants, and also a lot of wildlife. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

I saw what I thought was an interesting looking duck, but I found out later it was a coot. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There were also a lot of structures there, including a giant monument called the Wellington Monument, that looked a lot like the Washington Monument. <\/p>\n\n\n

This park was very peaceful, and I liked it better than St. Stephen\u2019s Green. This was a nice calm way to end off the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
