Quantitative analysis of high throughput movie rating data provides supports for one general social behavior: the young are usually more censorious than senior people when rating/evaluating the same thing. Millions of movie rating data with users' categorical age information are analyzed by the linear mixed model with the lme4 R package. When the age factor is viewed as fixed effects, the rating scores for movies are positively related to age. In general the young people are tends to give lower score than senior people. Such a social behavior phenomenon should be carefully examined in a recommendation system and in data collection.
