          Well yeah there's a few of them but Pinocchio is one of those stories that just keeps getting redone.

            A.I.? Kubrick wrote it, but then died. I really wonder how it would've been if he'd directed it instead of Spielberg.

              Sure but have you considered doing a shot for shot remake of the Disney film where the beer is replaced with root beer? :so-true:

        Played by a real 10 year old. The framing of the movie is male gaze of a ten year old, not a robot. Not really seeing a way out of there.

    Apparently it's supposed to be creepy and unsettling... but then they used an actual ten year old, and there's absolutely no justification for that.

    So. Yeah. Europe being Europe.

          "Lolita" was supposed to be an unsettling book but look at how :libertarian-approaching: and otaku (that call their own version of child porn "loli") and weebs (the ones that call themselves "lolicons") for that matter interpreted it.

          :epstein: 's plane was named after that damn book, too.

            I thought the point of "Lolita" was that the teacher/main character had the weird unsettling feelings, which led to him misinterpreting the affection of a child for a desire for physical intimacy? I should add that I've never read the book, but I did have a coworker who studied it for a class at a point, and she talked a lot about how the book was fundamentally misunderstood in its popular context, since the "girl" in the book isn't ever meant to be sexy, and we're supposed to see that the descriptions of the girl as sexy is a sign of the main characters psychosis.

              That type of shit takes such a careful reading honestly

              Like a lot of popular teen romance books like twilight are effectively doing the same thing - describing objectively creepy and abusive behavior (from an actual adult toward a child in the case of that particular series) but then before the reader can really digest that, the narrator is like "...and she found that extremely attractive" which sort of forces that interpretation. When it's explicitly about a pedo there's a strong barrier there for most people, but it's no wonder pedos are just like, oh yeah great pro-pedo book

            Cause, even in the movie herbet is clearly a bad guy. But you are still watching him do it which is terrible

              He's clearly a bad guy to anymore who goes in acknowledging pedophilia is wrong.

              He becomes a hero (or, at least, anti-hero) to the sickos.

      Europe being Europe.

      I guess commiting it to film is the :eu-cool: thing, but it's not like CSA is uncommon worldwide. I spent 6mo in Syria 2015/2016, and I've spent most of the rest of my adult life in the US and I've seen enough folks in both places get nabbed for it.

        They also have the weird guy that locked his family in a basement for decades and propagated children with his children, Josef Fritzl.

      Had to know more about the director, apparently we are two years late to the boat on this one.

    The wikipedia page says that originally the android was meant to be 20 years old but then the director cast a 10 year old instead :bern-disgust:

    :mazovian-thought: :dros: "That's all the rich really want -- sex with their own children. Throughout history -- even the royal bloodline of the Suzerain! -- it's all just an excuse for them to have sordid sex. At least that old removed Frissel is now dead..."

    US cinema can claim superiority over European cinema if only because we are much less tolerant of this type of horse-shit.

        This is the second time I've seen that title in this comment section.

        I choose to value my ignorance. I aint googling that.

        Apparently this headline is from two years ago, predating that by a bit. That was 2021 if I recall.

    Someone should probably lose their parenting license for this. Child actor shit was bad enough without them also being turned into a nude CG model to get fucked on screen.

      The child that was modeled for CG will have to bear that burden the rest of their life, with lots of :libertarian-approaching: having drooled over a vaguely-fictionalized version of her.
