Straight to DVD
This movie will go straight to DVD. And all the buzz that it has generated will only help with its sales.
Ignore it.
Just needs an Al Gore or Michael Moore intro blaming Bush. Would make it a big hit among the DUmmies.
Kim Jong Il is already on the waiting list for the DVD.
Roman Polanski-wannabe syndrome...
Once it happens, it’s never discussed. The culprit is never accused or apprehended. The child never tells her story to anyone. There’s no great moment of revelation that could possibly help someone who’s watching the film. It’s simply there for shock value.
But what of the hundreds that will (or supposedly have been) be saved by this film according to a film professor from California that was on the Sean Hannity show last Thursday? -sarc
There is a point to the child rape. It is to provide masturbation material for pedophiles and sickos courtesy of Hollywood.
Bad plot, bad dialogue and cliches. Isn't that the hallmark of all porn?
Why aren't arrests being made for this piece of child porn?
Her parents ok'd this role. Her agent ok'd this role, and she ok'd this role.
Every person involved withthis film needs to be investigated with respect to their interest in child pornography, and this young lady needs to be taken out of the parents home in the mean time.
If this happened in any other sector of our society, it would be considered child abuse.
One thing I have not heard is whether the rape is actually depicted, albeit with simulated contact, or takes place off camera. I don't ask for prurient interest but to try and ascertain if the flap is just typical Hollywood hype. It seems to me that the latter has already been done, even with a child as the subject matter, but if it's the former I don't see how allowing a minor to participate could be legal.
There is also a bestiality film to go along with child-rape film.
"In the film, [plot] his character lures Fanning.."

...Since I am one of the few who’ve actually seen it, let me explain something important. There is no point that I can find to the child’s rape.
Sounds suspiciously like the fiction book penned by Jim Webb (D).
"There is no point that I can find to the child’s rape."
Sheer gratuitous child pornography.
The DVD will find its way into the libraries of thousands of perverts. The same disgusting middle-aged men who have the entire Shirley Temple repertoire on their shelf.
The Sundance Festival, always second rate, has become cinema's alternate universe where foul and filthy are now insightful and sensitive. Only in a society that has lost the courage of it's convictions could Redford's freak show draw any serious attention.
