[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finally saw it last night. Thought it was visually beautiful, but couldn't shake the feeling it was NAMBLA propaganda/fantasy porn. Kind of ick.[/quote]

I have thought this too. I’m surprised it’s getting so much praise considering how Hollywood has gone all in on the Me Too movement. [b]The age difference is gross and inappropriate[/b].[/quote]

Nonsense. Age of consent in Europe, is 14-16. Only the Vatican City in Italy has it at 18 and they definitely were not there.

Idiot.[/quote]

I think what made it creepy is that[b] the 17 year old actor looks much younger ( like 15, even though he is in his 20s)[/b] and the older actor looks much older than 24 ( because he is)  Personally, people talk about the "attraction" those two had but, I didn't see it.  Book displayed more compatibility and I didn't like the changes from the book.[/quote]

Is he 17 or in his 20s?

I do agree that someone in their mid-teens with someone in their mid-20s is inappropriate, even if it is legal in some places. I'd cut them a little bit of slack since this was apparently portraying an era when homosexuality was more taboo and you didn't have Grinder to easily find age-appropriate guys who were ready to go. Also, when are already cast as a sexual "deviant" by society, it becomes much easier to start doing even more "deviant" things. I think this sort of age difference would be less common in gay circles today.[/quote]

The actor is 22 but he plays a 17 year old ( Timothee Chalomet? sp )[b]and he looks about 15.[/quote][/b]

Why do people keep saying this? I don’t agree at all. He looks 17.[/quote]

Yeah, I'm getting tired of people making comments like this. If you stood him next to an actual 15 year old, he would clearly be older. Most 22-year-olds don't look like Tim Tebow did when he was 22.[/quote]

I'm the poster who said he looked 15.   I don't know why this is getting under your skin pps.    Of course if I was standing next to him I would think he was older ( also because he apparently is 6 feet tall) but, he is young looking and Hollywood is great at making young people look younger.  Honestly, some 17 year olds look like they are 15 and there is nothing wrong with that.  Some 15 year olds look way older.    Look at how they treat Millie Bobby Brown and dress her up to make her look like she is in her 20s.

btw, I have a 20 year old and a 16 year old and they both look younger than their age.   Most people think my 20 year old looks 15.  Last thing, because Hollywood likes younger looking actors to play young characters it is better for the actor to be 22 and look 15.  Ralph Macchio anyone?    [/quote]
