~ Wasn't this type of fuss raised about Brooke Shields in 'Pretty Baby'?

At the time she didn't know what the fuss was about,

tho' it upset her she couldn't see the movie she was in.

It's called directing, acting & editing... Creates a movie out of little bits.

... There have been horrendous scenes in movies involving children necessary for the plot. Children weren't actually tortured or raped or killed tho'. If the imagery crafted is necessary for the story-line, then it's there. To disturb probably, yes.

OMG IT IS CALLED ACTING PEOPLE

I think, and I may be wrong, but if it portrays a sexual event with a minor it is child pornography. It does not matter if it is real or edited or even computer graphics. A child does not even need to be involved.

I think they backed off on the CG stuff, though I am not sure about this. Typically, the definition for pornography includes prurient interests, and excludes art and political speach, but, with the witch hunt mentality surrounding child porn, this could get messy.

Ms. Fanning, I would say, is fully capable of dealing with a scene like this. She is scary mature for her age.

[Rev. Beth]

she is scarey mature was watching her when she was like 4 or five on a talk show kid was way to smart and mature.

but they do edit and put stuff together... besides if the parents were watching this happen and everyone knows they were... or someone else on the set thought this had gone to far... someone would have stopped it.

acting and editing...

This isn't the first time a movie has suggested through actions a youg girl being raped. Besides, it's acting. Was Hilary Swank really raped in Boys Don't Cry, was Jodie Foster in The Accused? The director is a woman, some of the cast are women, and I'm sure some of the production staff are women. I seriously doubt it will/did get out of line before someone get's upset.

By the way, the Supreme Court decided that it's not child pornography if it's art, so pictures of cherubs and Romeo and Juliet are safe.

Sure about that? One of the traits that make for a good actor is the ability to mimic the actions of others. Is she mature, or does she simply act mature? And when the chips are down, would you rather err by thinking her more mature than she actually is, or by thinking her more vulnerable and in need of more protection than she actually is?

well, it is ultimately not my decision, but that is an interesting point. I shall revise to say, I certainly hope she is as mature as she seems. Brilliant actress. reminds me of Jodi Foster.

Do you vote? Ultimately, it could be. Might as well figure out how you feel about it while there's no pressure, eh?

Do you believe movies, (tv shows, etc...) should not be allowed to portray truth and/or fantasy? Have you ever been around while a movie is being made? Do you know many people are around, running cameras, sounds equipment, lights, directing, ready to redo makeup and hair, costume people as well as parents and child advocates when a child is involved? What you see in the final movie is far from the actual filming segments.

well, I don't put to much stock in the child advocate in the film industry. At least, in the past, we have seen some pretty messed up child stars. But, you are correct that the process of filming is usually pretty abstracted from the subject being filmed. On the other hand, the wrong director ( I won't mention any names, but Hitchcock comes to mind) will play mind games on the actors to get results they want.

Now this is true, about the way child stars of the past have been messed up.

And I can also see how a director could say or do something to get the "raw" emotions to show on the film

On that note you have adjusted my view (I love it when that happens) and I can say

I do hope all precusions were taken for the mental as well as physical well being of this (and any) child actor while filming a horrific act.
