Ever seen Taxi Driver? It's one of the most violent and explicit films ever made, and Jodie Foster was 13 when she did the film (portraying a child prostitute, no less). Many people consider it to be a masterpiece (myself included).

Besides, I doubt this film is going to suddenly make child porn okay, or even suggest that. Hell, I bet the film will just remind people how horrible child porn actually is. I think even her mother would object if the material was too obscene.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

A journey is comprised of many steps, and a few steps in the wrong direction kept unchecked can potentially lead to unintended (and undesired) destinations.

You didn't suggest it, that's true, and I didn't mean to imply that you did. I actually agree with you that one movie (generally) won't change societal attitudes, but I don't think this film will even attempt to suggest that child porn is okay, and instead support the case for "child porn is bad", if in a rather graphic manner.

You should! It's a really good movie.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
