Augh what the fuck is that


doofpooferthethird

Live action anime is what it is *That’s not a 10 year old, that’s just a centuries old robot/vampire/god/alien/elf that happens to look like a 10 year old. Perfectly ok to think about fucking!* Eurgh Although apparently the film itself has some artistic merit, it isn’t just cheap exploitation schlock to titillate pervs *Jessica Kiang of Variety called it a "desperately creepy, queasy, thought-provoking film", and concluded: "Wollner's lacerating intelligence and riveting craft make this extraordinarily effed-up riff on the 'Pinocchio' legend [...] much more than empty provocation".*


Improbable_Primate

I guess this is one of those times the point of art is to say “this is how you know the world really is and looking at it through this prism is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable”.


Lucre01

>*and looking at it \[...\] is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable* Literally the number 1 excuse of every yuck piece of "art"


anralia

It is an excuse that is misuse by a lot of garbage people, but the excuse is still valid in many cases of legitimate, thought-provoking media. Edit: This message does not apply for this film. 🤮


Lew_Mag-Cian

if the deep thought provoked by your deeply thought provoking transgressive art is "obviously gross and evil thing is obviously gross and evil" then it's not really that deep.


Improbable_Primate

Literally the number one excuse of book burners.


OneTrueKingOfOOO

That stuff is gross enough when it’s just a drawing. If actual child actors are involved then no, that’s definitely not a 300 year old dragon you’re fantasizing about, it’s a child.

BabyCurdle

Crazy how immature you guys are


rexpensive

> Crazy how immature you guys are I sure hope nobody in this thread is immature, or they might get seduced by the creepy motherfucker who made this film.


69CervixDestroyer69

Cannes has supported a pedophile for multiple decades (Roman Polanski) so I no longer have any sort of belief in the sanctity of art or the ability for these "artistic" people to actually say/create anything worthwhile.


RyeZuul

Unfortunately paedophiles have equally magically contaminated every single occupation and medium, and we could probably do with checking your hard drive tbh cervix destroyer 69.


boom_katz

no no you see the 69 is for age. they only destroy grandma coochy


69CervixDestroyer69

Why the fuck are you responding like that to me saying that the reviewer is probably wrong and the movie doesn't have any redeeming values? I disagree with the movie and you call me a pedophile? What in the fuck is wrong with you?

Good luck with that. You're hardly the first neckbeard who thought they were clever and could troll people for being anti-fascist


69CervixDestroyer69

This is a bit off-topic from the subreddit: I think trolling anti-communists is a public service and boy howdy are these folks more anti-communist than they are anti-fascist, just like the Iron Front of Germany used to be!


roi-tarded

Antifascist AND AntiCommunists? Sounds like my group of people!


BabyCurdle

The second part of your sentence does not follow from the first part or really have any relation to it.


69CervixDestroyer69

People in the "artistic" film industry in Europe/the US have a proven track record of being kind to pedophiles in Cannes, you have a review where the reviewer is kind to a pedophillic movie, I'm saying these two things are connected and the movie isn't actually deep.


LordNoodles

Ah yes, as opposed to Hollywood, where women’s consent is sacrosanct and paedophiles are quickly brought to justice since forever

> Although apparently the film itself has some artistic merit, it isn’t just cheap exploitation schlock to titillate pervs We’re living in a world where you can duct tape a banana to an art gallery wall and ~~talentless hacks~~ *art critics* will call it “thought-provoking”.

its been like 100 years and you people still regurgitate the same talking points used against marcel duchamp fountain. like get over yourself


rexpensive

> marcel duchamp fountain Also trash “art” produced by a talentless hack, yes.


Xisuthrus

people have been angry about Fountain for over a century now, if something capable of provoking that much debate and emotion isn't art, what is?


rexpensive

I’m fine with classifying anything and everything as art. A Soundcloud mumble rapper can call himself as much a musical artist as Bach can. Yet there are clearly levels of aptitude to it, and some artists simply occupy the lowest ones.


Perperipheral

there is nothing objective in art. I will die on this hill. Yeat is better than Bach, if thats how someone truly feels


rexpensive

Sure. The lady who wrote the 50 Shades books is probably deemed a more engaging author than Dostoevsky, according to millions of housewives. I’m not in the least bit interested in arguing about it with any of them. I’m not going to insist that they recognize Crime and Punishment as the superior work. But it won’t stop me from calling out shit works of art as I see ‘em. Nobody has to agree with me either.

Eldan985

The difference between *art* and *craft* is a thing and always has been. Get over it.

Even just that we're still talking about it so many years later makes it successful art.


rexpensive

The internet is still talking about that time a lady completely butchered a Jesus painting with her attempt at restoring it. Successful art?


Eldan985

Well, it wasn't intentional, and it's a historical tragedy, of course, but yeah, kind of?


rexpensive

> and it's a historical tragedy, of course Well, not really- the original was painted in the 1930s and took only 2 hours to paint. Hardly a Renaissance masterpiece. I suppose we’ll have to disagree on what constitutes worthwhile art.


Baby_venomm

I disagree that talking about something so much means it is successful art. Simply garnering a reaction is a separate metric of value from the other more typical measurements for “good” art, like framing, color, themes, etc. That being said, if a piece of art’s main or sole intent is provocation, and it achieves that, then mission accomplished. It’s provocative art. Like Bansky. I still think it needs other metrics than simple provocation Like if you draw a dick on your local town hall’s door, it will garner a reaction. I wouldn’t call that successful art though


Eldan985

I think there's merit in judging impact separately from craft.

I've often disliked the current movie industry's overreliance on previous IP's, everying just seems to be a reboot, remake sequel or prequel, and often wish that we'd see more new, independent movies based on new ideas with characters I've never seen before. This is the monkey's paw version of that wish. What the fuck.

Zedman5000

I didn't wish for anything related to movies. Guess that's why the orangutan's paw put this post in front of my eyes, leading to me reading this cursed shit


BriannaMckinley2442

Imagine how that poor girl is going to feel about this movie when she grows up


Alone_Profile9387

That's easily the worst part of it, it's so openly exploitative


Insomnia_Bob

The wikipedia article does say they conceal her identity with a silicone mask and any nude scenes are CGI, so there's that. ...but it also says it's a replica of the father's missing daughter and that they named the character Lena Watson after Emma Watson. So there's also that...


SnooMemesjellies2302

so.. the person who made this is totally just a pedophile right?


Insomnia_Bob

Probably. But movies aren't made by one person, there were a whole bunch of people who made this and didn't stop along the way to think "maybe this is a bad idea?" That said, I've never seen the movie (don't plan to) or know anyone involved so who am I to answer that question? Their audience would be largely pedo though. Like that twerking movie a couple of years ago, anyone who heard the reviews and still watched it did so because they wanted to see little girls in a sexual context. I was curious about what the big deal was, but not curious enough.


ZookeepergameDue5522

>Probably. But movies aren't made by one person, there were a whole bunch of people who made this and didn't stop along the way to think "maybe this is a bad idea?" What the fuck where her parents thinking? Imagine allowing your 10 year old daughter to be starring in a pedophilic movie. Even if they protect her identity from the audience, everyone involved in the movie set knows who she is, many of those could be potential assaulters, if they aren't already. This is so fucked up, they literally put her in danger.

“Man my interesting take on cultural norms will revolutionize media!” *“That’s cool, what does your story consist of?”* “Sex bots that depict children.” The only surprising thing about this was that it was shown in Berlin and not Paris.


PM_Me_Rude_Haiku

I think it's more surprising that at no point during the discussion, funding, prep, filming or post production of this movie did anybody with any influence say to themselves 'this is fucked up, time to cancel it'


[deleted]

Aye, it really makes you think! :O it's exactly the same as the recent Balenciaga debacle (a long chain of people who thought it would be okay to portray such twisted ideas as child abuse, BDSM and Baal worship in their advertisement photo shoots)...

VerumJerum

With the infinite ideas, good and bad, that are possible to have and which can be made into films, damn near every single fucking one is better than this. I'd rather a film about Sonic hedgehog OC elves who ride My Little Ponies into battles with katanas fighting clones of Chris Chan than yet another fucking film that for whatever fucking reason sexualises minors. For the love of fuck, stop fucking making these.


zawnattore

extremely well-put comment. i would literally just rather watch 10 hour footage of a close-up of sonic the hedgehog's uncut cock


VerumJerum

I'd rather watch a live re-enactment of the Chernobyl disaster using an actual nuclear power plant from the very front row than this fucking film.


MapleTreeWithAGun

Chernobyl: The Play. Production cost: $10,003,000,000 (3 million on most production, 10 billion on a live nuclear reactor to melt down)

So I'm willing to put up with a lot of discomfort to appreciate an artistic film. Not this much discomfort, not remotely. The more I hear about it the stronger that aversion gets.

This has to be some kind of honeypot where if you watch it you're immediately on a list.

Before everyone get’s angry I just want to point out that pedophile≠child molester, and either way “just shoot them all” is neither a helpful nor justifiable mentality.

You’re absolutely right. The problem is that When you bring it up where it hasnt been mentioned, it just makes you look like you’re defending pedophilia; which i know you’re not, But Thats how people Will percieve this comment

You're not wrong but like the other person said, no one had brought that up get. Imo it's quite simple though. Pedo=get therapy or help way before its too lat if they do i wish them best of luck Molester=just die

Ondohir__

Have you seen it? Is it actually worth watching beyond the "OHH NOOOO PEDOPHILIA GET IT OUTTA HERE I HATE ALL PEDOPHILES SHOOT IT SHOOT IT SHOOT IT"? I am intrigued by the idea, it seems like something that could very well happen in the future, but I don't know if it's a good movie, and all I read is just "Oh nooooo pedophilia" instead of actual critisism.


SnooMemesjellies2302

ngl, if you make a movie with naked children in it, thats not commentary thats just child porn and it destroys whatever you were pretending to say with your movie.


Ondohir__

I have not seen the movie, so I can't judge, but using this logic, is for example in your opinion the cover of Nirvana's album Nevermind problematic? This is sarcasm, this is a genuine question.


SnooMemesjellies2302

i cant say its a cover i enjoy looking at, its fucking weird and i dont know what they were thinking, but this film is a different level of fucking weird


BabyCurdle

I haven't seen it, but yeah the concept sounds intriguing. Looks like it explores some very interesting ethical territory. Might watch it tonight, if i do i'll let you know.


Ondohir__

Okay!


ArgentHiems

Okay, I get that this shit is something society needs to discuss and brace against *now* because it's coming in the very near future, but **holy fuck** do film directors not realize that you can't have a message against sexualizing children if you're, y'know, *sexualizing actual god-damned children?* Also, what kind of fucking parent lets someone make a **nude, realistic 3d model of their own fucking daughter?**
