saw it. they dance like sluts

I don't quite agree with Keelai on this but I'm weary of this pattern I'm seeing of ridiculously over the top & borderline psychotic sounding attacks consisting of variations of "You're a pedo defender" accusations at anyone who defends this movie in slightest.

I find a lot of the sudden outrage about this to be artificial & disingenuous reflective of internet/ social media, sheep reactionaries because these sort of questionable dance competitions & beauty pageants with young girls had been going on in plain sight for a long time & no one gave a sh*t.

The US is your entire world and as hypocrite a place as there ever was.

"the entire world hates it."

I doubt if you read global newspapers. No mention in any of them except the overreaction by a bunch of dopey Americans who haven't seen the film. Otherwise, this award-winning film is being praised. It was also nominated twice for best film at the Berlin International Film Festival.

You're fixated on the dancing because you're a pervert pretending to be outraged.

I've read and listened to many French and American critics as well as the public who watched the film and their reviews are positive since they are viewing the ENTIRE FILM IN CONTEXT instead of leering at little girls like you are doing, and then pretending to be upset. You're a dirty old man.

it was made by muslims right?

I don't know. I think it is gross. Let children be children.

Wrong Iffy. It's not fundamentally different when context and intention is everything, and the intention is to shock and disgust to hammer the film's message home - not to arouse and titillate.
How else could this be achieved without showing any dancing or demonstrating any of the adult moves?
Does a close up shot to show an adult dance move - with the intention to shock - suddenly veer into exploitation, but a medium shot doesn't? That doesn't make sense, and that is why context and intention is everything.

You could argue that a pedophile would still find it titillating even if the dancing were shown for a few seconds.
You could also argue that a pedophile would find Jodie Foster arousing while playing a child prostitute in Taxi Driver or even find Shirley Temple arousing. So where does that leave us?

There's who knows how many young girls in real life being taught to dance provocatively and arousing pedophiles so where's the equal concern and condenmation over that?
Instead it comes down to a curious case of shooting the messanger.

So then, if it was a dramatized Holocaust recreation for a film then it's victimization?

Are you still busy arguing in the American Beauty thread that minors like to entice adult males? *cough*

This site needs a serious clean up?

As in what way...removing people from it who don't agree with you or says something that triggers you? Grip up.

So, you’re the one who defends child porn and you say this place needs a clean up. What do you want cleaned out?
