Gunslinger Girl The Movie: How would redstaters + neocons feel? Mormons?


I guess they would feel a dilemma. On the one hand, the film promotes gun use for young girls, which is one of their pet projects: Guncrazies love the idea of young girls being familiar with guns, it fits in so nice with their "America is under attack" world view.

On the other hand, it also explores the relationship with older men and young girls, which goes a bit against their life style, not counting mormons here.
Yes, I realize that the relationship is strictly platonic, and it's explicitely called fratello = sibling, for a reason. But being neocons, they'd read all sorts of stuff into these things, they can't help themselves and oversexualize it, as they usually do.

Who agrees? Will they regard this as "left leaning Hollywood crap" or "finally a movie for gunlovers" ??

Doesn't matter. The controversy alone will sell tickets.

But where oh where do we find 6 or 7 12year old girls who can act, with parents willing to let them act?

Late on the response, but I have to jump in here- You're loopy!

I'm about as conservative as you can get, I love this anime, and I love the characterizations it explores. It's NOT a "movie for gunlovers," and it's not left-leaning at all. It's just a damn' fine anime.

Stop imposing your skewed view of the world on a cartoon, for chrissake!

I am in the same boat as Joe. Gunslinger Girl is a beautiful piece of fiction, and your moronic political ranting has no place on these boards. This show is not at all a promotion of guns, nor is it in any way left leaning in its portrayal of the fratello relationships. I'm pretty far right wing, and your comments are completely idiotic.

edit: I KNEW your name from somewhere! You're that troll who's stalking the Ender's Game boards! You haven't changed in five years, I see.
