Cuties

[CJD]

I think the message and overall intention behind the movie was admirable but, from what I've read, the execution was absolutely abysmal, bordering on psychopathic.

I won't condemn the filmmakers for doing what they felt was right to draw attention to what they believe is a societal issue, but I have no intention of watching that movie.

I think the best comparison I've heard about it was that Netflix show 13 Reasons Why. The point of the show was to raise awareness about teenage suicide but, due to its graphic nature and explicit details and story lines, it has been correlated with an increase in teenage suicide.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cuties leads to a similar correlation with child pornography issues.

I can't pass a full sweeping condemnation of the movie without watching it which, like I said, I have no intention of doing, but I hope it had some positive impact in some way...

I think it'd be worth Netflix noting who watches that movie far more than average (as it has scenes that would definitely be masturbation fodder for pedophiles) but that gets into some privacy issues and a whole lot of other things like that...sigh. What a dumb movie to make.
