[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched it and trying to process. Thoroughly engrossing.  Powerful depiction of early adolescents trying to make sense of sex, plus immigration and culture clash. Didn't see any of the ads - there are certainly shots of kids dancing in hyper sexualized fashion.

For this film, context is everything.  It's a powerful argument for the importance of parents who are present and able to help kids navigate their burgeoning sexuality.

My concern is for the girls acting in the film.  Apparently they are 13/14.  How are they affected by the roles they're enacting, and by the sexual interest they're inevitably evoking?  Who's helping them make sense of this use of their own sexuality?

In a way it makes  me think  of a production of Madama Butterfly in which the role of Cio Cio San's 4 yo son is played by a marionette.  Very powerful, in part because there's no way you can use a real child to act out their mother's suicide.  Whatever the cause of "art," you just don't put kids in that situation.  Likewise with these girls.

Agree with PP, watch it before it gets pulled.  [b]And please don't prattle on about it if you haven't seen it.[/b]

So don't talk about the child porn until to have watched the child porn to appreciate the "context"? Got it.[/quote]

Your reasoning is circular.[/quote]

No, it isn't. That is what PP is suggesting. Hello, there are clips and descriptions of this crap all over twitter. Do you need to watch the full videos of torture to truly ascertain whether it is torture or not? Cut it out.[/quote]
