I believe that the freedom of the creative artist to deal with whatever subject matter he chooses is paramount and that the finished product should be judged according to its merits or lack thereof. To conflate that imaginative freedom with the advocacy of actual child rape is delusional.

Man, what a rebel!

You realize that technology is responsible for all this hub-bub. Thirty years ago they would have made the movie. It would have played in about ten art houses and vanished forever. The majority of people never even would have heard of it. The thing would have been as obscure as Mysteries of the Organism.

Well, go ahead and defend the concept of Dakota- Fanning- Nude-and-Raped for Oscar Gold, if you must.

Just don't get busted like PeeWee Herman while you are watching it in a public theater.

You must wear out lots of trench coats.
