Buddy, my fellow human. You may have a valid point. But I disagree with your first two statements. You too were emotionally affected by the movie. However ridiculous it may seem to you or anyone else. After all, you did respond in a reactive manner because you are inherently a well meaning person and you wouldn't want an issue like this to be wrongly addressed. That emotion was most likely your 'anger.' Obviously you care about the issue of 'child abuse.'
(Ergo, some of the others were incorrect in accusing 'theragingbeat.'
Second, there is clearly one adult who did not even supposedly want to rape her. So why use 'literally every single adult'? :P
Course, that was just me nitpicking.
Appreciate you trying to bring to light that there are some inaccuracies. I saw some too. Most movies even by the best artists have their flaws. Yes this movie was imperfect. So is everyone human. Make no mistake I ain't condoning any errors.
But the way I see it, the movie clearly was a narrative from the eyes of the protagonist. If you were an 11 year old girl going through physical and sexual abuse would you be trusting of anyone? In her eyes, the entire world was a perverted piece of *beep* That sick world even drove her to sell herself. And that view is probably what the team went about to portray.
I personally like to believe that the world has good people. At the same time, I don't think what we saw in the movie was far from possible. Astral plane or otherwise.
Critical feedback on a subject of this nature, should by its very nature, be given with care. And not minced through a sharp tongue.
You have the right to your opinion. But you knew that people were emotionally moved. Meaning you are a smart person. That same knowledge should have compelled you to be a little less harsh in your thought execution.
Don't expect people not to get worked up when you make statements like you did. Unless that was all that you wanted. In which case you came out on tops. (My gut tells me that wasn't what you wanted)
All said and done, I love movies and I do what I can to keep things clean. Be it in the real world or the internet. So for the other readers, don't make this a bashing session for anyone. Understand his/her point. Do your due diligence and then speak.
Lastly, I suggest you people take everything with a pinch of salt and be a little more sensitive in putting across your view points. What you say/type lasts forever. I learnt my lessons.
So leave behind a happy trail of wisdom and love. Not bickering and hate.
I may be late to this forum but if it peaks interest on the subject in even one person. Maybe we may see better work from film makers next time and people won't get a chance to react.
Peace.
