Nicole Incites Bath Wrath in 'Birth'

But Nicole Kidman (search) insists her new R-rated movie, which features a shocking scene of the Oscar-winner naked in the bathtub with a 10-year-old boy, is done in the best possible taste.

"Yes, it's an unusual scene, but the whole film is unusual," Kidman says of "Birth," (search) the controversial film that was booed at the recent Venice International Film Festival (search) and is likely to spark outrage when it opens here Oct. 29.

This article has been bugging me all day. Kidman talks about how the boy was protected during filming by not letting him read the script...please! That is a farce; are we suppose to believe that the boy wasn't there for any of the dialogue either.

I am most concerned about the pervert who sees this film with the take home message being that sex with kids is love. Especially when the studio exec,Mark Ordesky, is saying things like "When you see the performances in the context of the plot, it makes perfect sense,"----longing, lusting for a child does not make sense in ANY context and it should never be protrayed that way!

These people make me sick.

[EggsAckley]

I can't believe that these people are not charged with child abuse. They have the nerve to FILM this and then foist it onto the movie audience, many of whom are children.

It's an outrage.

Nicole 'Nambla' Kidman will probably be nominated for a Oscar ,, ironically.

"studio exec,Mark Ordesky, is saying things like "When you see the performances in the context of the plot, it makes perfect sense,"----longing, lusting for a child (in a sexual manner) does not make sense in ANY context and it should never be protrayed that way!"

Hello!

[socialismisinsidious]

I agree. In this film they kiss, he undresses in front of her, he joins her in the bath and she asks him if he has ever had sex...he is 11 years old (playing a 10 year old)! this is child abuse.

[Feiny]

eeewwwww, doesn't she have kids?
Who would have thought Scientology Tom was the more normal parent?

[Feiny]

"The high-concept drama stars Kidman as a fragile young widow named Anna, who believes her dead husband has been reincarnated in the body of a 10-year-old boy."

Well, then that makes it just fine.....

[operation clinton cleanup]

Sounds like an Oscar winner for sure!

[SunnySide]

Sounds like child porn going main stream entertainment. They said this would start happening, AND GUESS WHAT? It is! REJECT TRASH NOW!

[pissant]

no wonder she had to spend time in the loony bin.

[donnab]

Yep these are the people that support Kerry. chokes.

[Egon]

Oh what fresh hell is this?

[isom35]

the kid shoudl have demanded that salma hayek be his co-star, not that lame nicole.

[Ladysmith]

Yep, now that New Line has made their wad and saved the company on "Lord of the Rings," they can start making trash again.

All down-hill from here, Marko.

I was 13 when I figured out a bath with Diana Rigg would be fun.

[crazyhorse691]

Hollywood stars are above all manmade laws. They are gods themselves. Just ask them, they'll tell you. Sometimes that deserted island looks pretty good.

[Dante3]

I agree with you. This is sick and shows that Kidman is a pervert. No wonder Tom Cruise dumped her.

[MKM1960]

I hope that was when she was Emma Peel and not the hostess of PBS's Mystery. LOL

[Guenevere]

I just read the most fitting short/concise review for this sick film.

"It's Mary Kay LeTourneau meets Ghost"...

That says it!

[MarMema]

It's been described as Mary Kay Letourneau meets "Ghost."

This is disgusting. Pedophilia, no matter what they try to sell it as. All of these people should be nailed for criminal activity.
