There are many R-rated films which are very educational. I'd also have to know why the movie had an R rating. Seems movied filled with violence, hatred, blood and gore can easily get a PG rating. But God-forbid that you show a (gasp!) a naked body or two people in love--now, that's an R for sure. In our media world, the only time it would be acceptable to show a woman's bare chest would be if someone had just shot it off with a shotgun. That's rated PG. P.S. I'm feeling cynical tonight.
