This is not correct.  I disapprove of the mo
ambiguous and probably incorrect.
I disapprove of movies which have these properties (restrictive)
I approve of the movie, which incidentally has these properties (non-restricti
-
   restrictive).
These seem conrtradictory, since a
ny movie  which fits the former sentence
also fits the latter sentence, if read solely as restrictive/non-restrictive.

Thus one has to presume that ther
e is something about the relationship
between the moive and its identifying factor in the former sentence that
changes the meaning so that it is not merely the movie that I disapprove of.

One possibility would be that I disapprove of the fact that the movie is
characterized by these properties.  But why do I so disapprove?  Because I
disapprove of the properties, and not the movie.  Yet I do not disapprove
 of t
the properties in an absolute sense independent of the movie.  That
 which
makes a movie vulgar/obscene is perfectly appropriate in some bedrooms
