I'm against censorship for the most part but agree here. Ridiculous it took them 30 years to do it though. Any film depicting an 11 year old masturbating in close up for real is child exploitation and shouldn't be permitted.

You have a vivid imagination! There is no such scene in the movie.

Please don’t tell us more about your fantasies.

And before all the purists go jumping on me for my last comment it may indeed be a natural act that all boys do but to perform it in front of a film crew and then publish it the whole world over is completely unnatural and inappropriate when the actor in question is still a child and not fully aware of the implications of shooting such a scene.

and yet you have no problem with the violence in Wolf Creek 2.

[–] hovee77 10 years ago

What a stupid point. Wolf Creek 2 is all staged and performed by adults. Unsimulated sexual acts by children being captured on camera by grown men is exploitive.

I don't know what you're talking about
The actor barely touches his oenis never mind masturbating?!
At least SEE the movie and the scene before you come to a conclusion and make a stand

"barely touches his penis"?-Sorry but have you watched the film with your eyes closed?
