Netflix Why Are You Offering Kiddie Porn???

The director probably thinks he's so edgy for adding that in.
 
A 10 year old jumping on a pillow, only understands that, it's not sexual to her. I don't know if they had her panting or something but I'm sure she didn't take it in a sexual way. The director was being provocative, maybe even gratuitously so, but that doesn't make it child porn. That's when kids are actually physically abused and exploited. Having her play out a sexual scene through dialogue would be much more problematic in preserving the actor's innocence.
I wonder if she’ll be cool with this scene when she grows up, seeing as how she was essentially deceived into creating a scene, depicting such an act.

Would you allow your daughter(s) to do this?
 
You should take all of your virtue to twitter. Youd fit right in over there.
Don’t get salty, Sniper! I’d NEVER block anyone on here. That’s the biggest puss move one can do.

As for my comments within the thread, I stand by them.

Personally, I would not allow a loved one of mine to be part of a scene depicting an act which can be construed as such an act.

It was children being exploited to make a silly film. It was wrong. There is not much more to say about it.

In most cases, there is no reason to have children in movies. They are awful actors and if the stories are to be believed they are used and abused by perverts and creeps within the movie industry and if the industry is not abusing them, then there parents are usually abusing them in some way.
 
There is a movie where a thirteen year old Brooke Shields plays a prostitute and is shown naked on screen. That is child pornography.

What you're really saying is that, while we know there are real 13 year old girls in this world who are being trafficked as prostitutes, and who are abused in this capacity while nude, no filmmaker should be granted the right to depict such a scene of reality in his art.
 
It's a court of law, not a court of merriam-webster. If we're making claims about the law, we use legal definitions. So, from the statute that you cited in post #46:

"two young girls under the age of 10 playing around with pillows"
"this scene was filmed using a trick, which was that the girls were copying a cowboy scene from a film by John Ford."

Nope. It was implicit.
Regardless of HOW the scene was created, it ULTIMATELY depicts an act by a child which may unequivocally be construed as a sexual act.

Would you allow your daughter(s) to partake in such a scene?
 
So this is Fox News/Republican outrage?
Missionary sex preachers who now advocate for cheating on your pregnant wife with porn stars?

Americans have always been church nuns compared to Europe about sex.

You do realize that this is 10-year old girls being exploited in a stupid movie. There should be no argument regarding how disgusting that is. Being against the exploitation of children should be at least one thing we all agree on. @Smok3r asked the best question: "Would you let your young daughter be involved in a scene like that?" There is no way I would let my children anywhere near a film set even if it is a movie targeted towards children.

What is wrong with the parents of these girls to allow them to be in something so vile?

Bro, are you seriously ok with tons of movies being released about this stuff, just because it happens in real life???

There are things so awful that we do not need to see it re-enacted in film. You may think exploiting children is art, but most of us just think it is needlessly disgusting. The thought of children being used as prostitutes is awful enough. We don't need filmmakers using children to graphically depict what happens in the name of art. There should be limits and taboos and the exploitation of children to make "art" should be forbidden.

It is rather disturbing that the exploitation of children is even being argued about.

Not exactly, it should not be illegal to depict rape and the like, see irreversible, but you wouldn't be able to make the Brooke Shields movie today because she is underage. An 18 year old could play the role. Just putting this film into perspective.

That's interesting, do you think that the famous Napalm Girl photo should have been illegal? I don't want to link the image just in case it's against the rules but it shows a naked 9 year old girl crying and running from a soldier.

Given the questionable nature of your critical thinking skills, as evidenced by your choice to actually align with the Catholic Church in 2018, it's not surprising you are in favor of art censorship.

By your logic, the entire opening scene of Saving Private Ryan was entirely unnecessary and gratuitous, given that society already understands the gross brutality of war.

You have to wonder about the mentality of someone who thinks, "I want to do a simulated rape scene and I need to find the right young girl to do the scene." The fact that someone could actually write a scene and film it using a young girl is very disturbing to me. I do not see any reason to be using children in suggestive scenes. I'm not even that thrilled about using children in movies for any purpose. I hate watching child actors in movies.

I have never seen the film. Are you saying the actress was actually underage, not just playing an underage prostitute??

The Napalm Girl photo is the result of something that happened and it is a powerful image displaying the brutal horrors of war. The intention is not sexual. What does it have to do with a movie director sexually exploiting children in a movie? I don't see how the two are even close to being related.

How does the movie Saving Private Ryan relate to sexually exploiting young children in a film?

So showing a completely naked 9 year old girl is ok as long as the message or art behind it is not sexually suggestive?

It depends on the movie. While I do not typically enjoy such movies, it is still art, and there are limits, both legally and socially.

As a horror buff, I've seen some very disturbing movies. I accept these are not for everyone, but while they don't break any laws, I say let them be. Vote with your wallet.
