Child nudity and simulated child rape. Am I the only one who thinks someone is pushing the laws on child porn, or at least trying to conventionalize it just a little bit more?(I'll probably get my head bitten off for that one)
Any other thoughts on this movie?

Hollywood seems to be a messed-up shit hole that transforms many people into party-slutting, body-starving, drug-using kooks. Now that my little episode is over with, Hollywood has basically decided that one of the best ways to entertain the masses is to adopt the Roman form of entertaiment called "shock value". It is always pushing the boundaries because we have become so used to the shock value that it has to keep pushing the envelope.

Fanning is too old to win the "youngest Oscar winner" award, and while an Oscar win is one of the better ways to survive the dreaded child-star lable, there are honestly better ways of winning an Oscar. She's already getting automatic roles with the biggest stars in Hollywood. I do agree in sacrificing for your work, but I agree with you that her mom and agent are retarded for thinking that this would be the best way for her to win an Oscar. Anyone remember "Brokeback Mountain"? Films that push the envelope do have a good shot at winning an Oscar, but this film created probably the most noise yet lost to "Crash", Clooney (supporting), and Hoffman (lead).

I don't think it will change the laws on child pornography in anyone's favor. However, Hollywood enjoys pushing the envelope and I know there are people around here who thought that her role in "War of the Worlds" was extremely annoying and may not be too upset about what happens to her in this film, disturbing I know. I think her mom and agent are stupid, there are better ways to win an Oscar, and Lindsay Lohan's claims to getting naked in order to win an Oscar will probably not get her an Oscar since Oscars do go to those who mainly get out of their comfort zone.
