We've been talking about the sexualization of young actresses in a French film.
You've got your scapegoat, but do you have the right problem?
I know this issue is very sensitive for you, but the comparison shouldn't be that confusing. You've been defending this film as a commentary on western values. While I conceded the film's point in my very first post I also stated it was executed and marketed in an exceedingly poor fashion and the film's critics have a legitimate point. Where does islam come in, quite simply the contrast between islam and the west is at the crux of this film, which I would think you would know having claimed to watch it. So my point is to contrast the wildly different reaction to a film critique of western culture that traffics in (borderline?) pedophilia to a film that made similar criticisms of islamic culture.
I guess it's easy to be "stunning and brave" in a culture that actually practices tolerance, despite the never ending barrage of criticism it gets from everyone else.
