@kevcvs57 saidSomewhat off topic... but it is for reasons like this that the banning of `dangerous ideas` will result in a lot more heartache for the left (or whomever does it!) in the long run.
P.s I noticed on my Netflix last night that ‘Cuties’ appeared near the front of my featured list, I’m sure that’s a result of it being watched by an increasing number of viewers.
As ever if you want to promote a film tell folks that they shouldn’t, under any circumstances, watch it.

Kubrick? I'm shocked. He was one of my favs.

This is an issue that stands on its own merit and I can't see trying to bring in others
that *may* be guilty by association.
No I wasn’t implying that, I was implying that there are bad actors on these forums and beyond who are suddenly raising this issue by any available vehicle to give some credence to the politically motivated Qanon conspiracy theory.
Lol if I thought Netflix was complicit in any way I really would cancel my subscription and buy a massive tub of Ben n Jerry’s instead.
@philokalia saidIt’s not really off topic but you cannot really ban ideas of any sort. You can voice your disagreement with them and you can make it illegal for people to implement those ideas in practise but you cannot ban the ideas themselves.

@torunn saidLol even when every shred of evidence points to heterosexual men being by far the most prolific paedophilic predators by sexual orientation he still follows the putin line.

There are some very sick puppies on these forums.
@athousandyoung saidThere’s nudity ?

Apparently there are lots of closeups of sexual body parts which does imply it is worse than Lolita/Taxi Driver etc

@kevcvs57 saidThere are bare breasts and closeups of non-nude crotches (wearing tight shorts) and the like. The shoeonhead clip linked above shows some scenes (5:28 for example) that are worse than the dance competition (she put clown faces over the worst parts of the images)
There’s nudity ?
The problem seems to be with the camera work which has a little too much fun sexualizing the girls (the camera man is not part of the story so these shots have no purpose other than titillation).
To compare to no1's clip of the dance competition, if no1's video contained similar footage, the guy taking the video would have been arrested.

@athousandyoung saidWere you titillated? I’m not being facetious I just wonder who all these people are that are getting their rocks off to this stuff, paedophile’s possibly, but they can get actual child porn so why bother with this?

The reactions to this film get stranger by the minute. No one other than No1 has even attempted to discuss the actual plot line or message delivered by the piece.
@athousandyoung saidGo to the IMOb and look through the stills you will see an actual 14yr old with her hand on an old mans crotch whilst the two of them share a bed, and simulation with a lollipop. These are only about 14 pics in from 103 I’ve no idea what else you might find if you stick with it.

The line between art and porn can be gossamer thin and art is often intended to make us feel uncomfortable. Cuties definitely ticked that box.
@kevcvs57 saidIt's #7 on Top 10 in the US today, which would have been utterly impossible for such a minor foreign language film absent the controversy.

@philokalia saidI don't find anything you linked to "devastating" to a well-adjusted adult.
Excellent -- it shouldn't be an issue for you finding some material on it that is equally devastating or worse than what I linked to.
Until I see it, I doubt it; and if I see it, you will only succeed in convincing me that there is another show that needs to be named & shamed.
EDIT: Plus you never answered the question.
Anyway, I was responding to your point about Netflix's rating which is more restrictive than how Lifetime is treated for material that seems similar.
