IMDb.com ^ | 6-21-04

Posted on 06/21/2004 8:16:46 AM PDT by Paul Atreides

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'.

Who was it that said "Youth is wasted on the young"?

I think that was George Bernard Shaw.

That is true but the subject was still about sex with a minor.

I'm really appalled that Nicole Kidman, a mother of two children (one of them a boy), would consent to do this role. I can't even put it into words. I'm speechless. It's a movie I definitely won't be seeing.

Oh, and her son is one year younger (he's 9) than the boy in the movie (who's 10). What was she thinking!

From the IMDb - Nicole Kidman:

Crusader against child abuse. "Children should be allowed to grow up without fear of cruelty." [October 1999]

Does pedophila not count? What do you call sex with a ten-year-old child?!

I still don't understand how she could consent to doing this role.

" That is true but the subject was still about sex with a minor. "

College students have been known and ARE known to be of legal consenting age also among the most sexually active which is NO COMPARISON to a ten year grammar school prepubecent "child".

She was thinking about money. She is a whore and a lowlife if she did this. All the people involved should be in prison. ALL of them.

Dramatic context? What ? If the drama makes sense then it is okay for a 36 year old to kiss a 10 year old in an intimate way? Are you kidding?

No doubt about that notion.....LOL!

And it does display the double standard we all know. My own view is the ten year old most likely had the same stature as her ex hubby, noted midget action hero....
