I wonder if THIS much attention was allotted Jenna Malone [both by the filmmakers AND the media!] when she filmed the rape scene [or the 'molestation' scene, for that matter!] in 'Bastard Out of Carolina'...
Not that I'm complaining: THAT was a VERY powerful rape scene, but while Jenna's expressions were
beyond belief in displaying the horror of the situation, it was
pretty graphic; more so than THIS scene sounds to be...
I never heard a PEEP about any contention over the filming of THAT scene before it was shown on Showtime!! In fact, I remember being SHOCKED and surprised by the scene; WONDERING why I had not heard of any controversy!!
I guess nobody cared about how it would affect Jenna... And look at her NOW!.. Her life was RUINED by that movie!
Sarcasm aside, I think TOO much attention has been focused on this movie, all because of Dakota: It's a movie; she's an actress. Let her do her job!!
Taxi Driver did NOT screw up Jodi Foster.
Pretty Baby did NOT screw up Brooke Shields.
Bastard Out of Carolina did NOT screw up Jenna Malone.
(There could be some argument that 'The Exorcist' kinda screwed up Linda Blair; but HEY! she got screwed by Satan! [If you don't count the 'Crucifix scene...
] LOL! )
And Hound Dog will NOT screw up Dakota Fanning.
IN FACT: Most of the problems you hear about with 'Child Star's' lives becoming TOTAL WRECKS deal more with the LIFESTYLE they become involved in due to HOLLYWOOD's ummm; 'eccentricities'! Not any particular 'SCENE' they participated in on film.....
These are movies.
