Misguided director! I was appalled!!!

To treat such an important and consequential topic with such carelessness was appalling to me.

Contemporary music in a period historical period piece was bad enough to warrant my disdain. But the masturbation scene with Swank in the tub was entirely gratuitous and distracting and exploitative.

And speaking of exploitation, how in the hell did they get away with shooting the twelve year old girl coming out of the tub nude? Isn't that illegal? And what parent would allow their daughter to be exploited so???

van Garnier should be charge with a number of offenses her perpetrated on this film and its audience.

You are easily appalled, life must be difficult for you!

Contemporary music helps modern people relate to a different culture (100 years ago). People in 1910 masturbated and had sex and so on.

And NO nudity is not illegal according to the Supreme Court of the United States. Filming sex among minors is illegal, but nudity is not. The filming of nudity is natural & protected by the first amendment.
