Anti-Porn or Anti-Violence?
Does anyone else feel there is a vast misread message on this film?
You have Princess who represents Sex.
You have August who represents Violence.
In much of culture (especially American & middle-eastern), violence on TV/movies is accepted. However, sex and even mild nudity is not.
Are people blind to the striking parallels between August and Princess?
Princess's actions twist and pervert Mia.
August's actions hurt and ultimately destroy Mia.
We all see and share August's disgust in Mia mimicking her mother's dancing and behavior. A child far far far beyond her years in action and experience. However do we not see the same things from August? The whole seen with the crowbar may have been one of vengeance for Mia - however what is doing, but mimicking August?
I'm not sure this isn't as much a commentary on violence in the media as it is anti-porn movie.
