Hollywood star Nicole Kidman's latest film has sparked controversy before its even been released - because of a passionate clinch she shares with a ten-year- old boy. The Oscar-winning actress, 36, is seen getting romantic with a ten-year-old boy she believes is the reincarnation of her dead husband in Birth - which has horrified film executives. New Line Cinema bosses are anxious over scenes involving Kidman and the boy stripping off together for a bath - while another scene see the two locking lips. PR companies who are set to promote the $54 million film have allegedly called it a 'publicity nightmare'.
"It also seems that some parents are willing to prostitute their children for money and celebrity."
Just ask the parents who let their children stay alone with Michael Jackson at NeverLand ranch and Jacksons pimpin lawyers.
Yep! Michael was getting kids somewhere.
But they will produce "theologians" and "professors" who will give "scholarly" statements in support of the latest perversion.
Bitch got no teeth at all!
Um, okay....
This little boy's parents should be thrown in jail, along with Ms. Kidman and the directors.
If the boy was 14, I would say "lucky kid". But at 10 a boy would be more interested in baseball, swimming with his buddies, and bicycles and girls would be a distant thought.
You're exactly correct.
Context??????????????? The last refuge of a sicko!
You woulda loved my ex-wife.
(lucky you escaped her clutches)
I won't even watch Salma's movies....hard to view her as sympathetic.
A real doppleganger. Even Lebanese Christian parents the same as Salma and born and raised in a Latin American country same as her but Brasil in my ex's case. Eerie.
*Kidman isn't exactly chopped liver, nice skin and hair and legs.
** If I were a mature 10, it might have been a fantasy come true. If I were say 12, it woulda been manna from heaven. Immoral and wacko of course but lot's of young lad's fantasies.
*** It is telling that while most see this as very wrong, some of us joke about it even though we know it to be wrong. Were it a man engaging with such "kissing" in a bath with a 10 year old girl, there would be no room whatsoever for joking.
**** It could have been done more innocuous and I think this theme has been donw so in body switching films.
Reminds me how my female cousin has all these cutisy pictures of little kids naked running around with baskets in a field on her walls. If I as a single white male put them up in my house I would be arrested & classed as a sex offender first time some busybody or cop saw them.
Double standard anyone?
Parents who allow their children to watch violent sexually explicit movies.........no payoff at all.
Unfortunately I did.. she (6th grade teacher) raped me as did my teenage babysitter.. There is much more female pedophilia then we want to admit. Boys can't cry rape, if they do it becomes a joke and adds to the horror and shame..
I know of a young female art history instructor who took classic paintings and found a perverted sexual angle to each one. She tried to say that some of Mary Cassatt's paintings of mothers and children had a sexual angle!
If the public does not show some righteous indignation for this woman/boy sexual antic then the NAMBLA crowd will be in the waiting pushing for graphic depictions of man/boy "love". Then comes the movement for the lowering of the age of consent. A slippery slope indeed.
That's the thing about stories like this, when people say "lucky kid:" they are looking at it through the eyes of an adult. They need to realize the affects it might have on the kid.
How long will it be until we see Ian McKellan in a love scene with an eight-year old?
If you or I made a movie with a grown man naked with a ten year old little girl and kissing her passionately, we would be in the pen. Along with everyone who was involved.
All of them should go to prison, not just the actress.
Also, if this film gets to protect itself behind the banner of being "art," what is to prevent the manufacturers/performers of child porn from doing the same?
I know you're joking ... Nicole Kidman is gorgeous ... but a 10-year-old who'd be interested in kissing her is SICK.
