Nudity discussion

[Phuzzy4242]

It's quite unusual to see a modern film from North America (USA and Canada) with child nudity so openly displayed. There was no doubt whatsoever the little girl was nude, there was no blurring, no 'accidental' blocking by something in front of her, except for her leg being strategically positioned to prevent too much showing, but that was all. Such innocent nudity is a lot more common in European films.

It has become rare everywhere. But isn't that political uber-correctness rather restricted to Hollywood? Even in the USA you could make a film like Angela in 1995.

That was almost 25 years ago, and it was rare even then. It's a lot more restricted now and it's everywhere, not just Hollywood. Children are over-protected. When I was growing up, mom said, "Go play and don't come home until it gets dark." We went everywhere and did everything unsupervised and most of us grew up unharmed by the experience. Nowadays, a parent can be arrested if their kid goes down the street by himself - some busybody will report them for 'child abuse'. To me, that's short-changing kids of a lot of great experiences, along with learning how to be independent and tough to survive in a rough world. There are way too many weak 'adult' snowflakes running to their 'safe spaces' when someone merely has a different opinion than they do. Conversely, a lot of things are becoming commonplace that were once considered perverted, so the pendulum may swing back the opposite direction.

In the USA the laws are very strict in fact the Hollywood studios do not allow that scenes or at least the forbidden parts, after Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon (interestingly, brooke shields) the resolutions changed and were more adjusted when making films (Before of pretty baby there are few films with those scenes before the 80's) except there is a Reese Whitherpoon movie (it was called moon something like that) just barely seen running or Now and Then where the girls spy some guys in a lake and hide the clothes (I would have liked it to the contrary) but without relevance.


In Angela the explanation is an independent film and does not follow the laws of Hollywood and also the actress is dirty of mud the same angela can not be seen by the camera angle, the same can be said of Bastard out of carolina

Canada the way of life is something European despite that sometimes even thought that toronto or alberta was American cities the police cars or the number of emergencies is 911 or it is driven left side (British countries or were colonies drives right as in london) until believed pamela anderson was an American icon but you have to know they are English - French mixed

... agreed on, but if you say this everyone under thirty will tell you you're just claiming everything was better in your youth. No it wasn't, but in our youth or that of our parents firemen did not become traumatized only because they were doing their job. Being a "traumatized" sissy that has something or someone to blame for everything that went wrong in his life is sadly very much part of the lifestyle today.

In another thirty years the children that today post their porn-selfies will probably tell us they have been abused by their pc cams - parody is the avant-garde of reality ...

Common Citizen thinks 16 should no longer be seen as a child in America when it reaches the age of 15 make a party stop being a boy or girl but still can change that perception should be put another name as Teen and at 18 is already an adult ( other parts is at 21) what if it is not clear is if at what age you can have a boyfriend / girlfriend or can you kiss that is the tabu

A Woman Under the Influence (1974)

Warg nailed it. Reality isn't what's important to the witch-hunters, it's their perception of reality. It doesn't matter what you say, only what they think, and I believe their own perversions are showing - they'd do those things if given the opportunity, so they think everyone else would too.

[REL] A Woman under the Influence (1974)
I don't label ALL millennials as snowflakes or weaklings, but much of their generation was protected by their parents from everything, so the kids never built up their own personal armor. I've dealt with MANY at work who are useless - they think all they must do is show up, not actually work, they're quick to take offense, and complain when someone doesn't treat them like they're God's gift to the universe. Other millennials I work with are brilliant and a true pleasure to be around, and they tend to be the ones whose parents didn't protect them from everything.

Pedophilia: Love for children; the meaning is only criminalized

You read that often - but it is a distortion of facts. "philia" means verbally translated "love" but in psychology it is used for the sexual preference of or the attraction to something.
"Criminalized" it is by the laws that forbid sex with children. Murder is also "criminalized" - nothing is criminal by nature. The only question is if our laws that make every (!) sexual action with children into a rape are fully justified ...

FLM is a page dedicated to the cinema, and it does not matter the perception of non - members, regardless of whether it is good or bad - It is my conclusion
