Children can be shown in all manner of places:
- books
- photos
- videos/movies
It is NOT illegal. It's just a body. We even have naked children running around on nudist beaches.
Take a chill pill.
The issue is not child nudity but child sexuality. Children still cannot be depicted nude when the intent is to arouse. Of course that's a sticky wicket, but I don't think this film falls under that category.
shareWhat makes the issue gray area is that the storyline has Violet posing in a nude context whilst in the atomosphere of brothels and sex for sale. A point worth considering.
shareI'm sorry, but making a movie about child prostitution is sick and wrong, making a child pose for nude scenes is sick and wrong, and the very fact that the parents of said child were completely fine with it is sick and wrong.
What the hell is wrong with humanity!?

Should we pretend that child prostitution never existed, because it makes us uncomfortable? War, police corruption, slavery, and the Holocaust make me uncomfortable, but there are very good movies dealing with each of those subjects. You or I might avoid going to see a movie because we're uncomfortable with the subject matter, but film-makers should be free to make films you or I or anybody else would be uncomfortable with. After all, we don't have to go.
Pretty Baby is based on a true story. It was changed around to the point that I can't justify calling the movie itself a true story, but it's based on one. These sorts of things (if not these specific things) actually happened. What makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with humanity isn't that somebody made a movie about a child prostitute, or that a child did a nude scene in said movie; what makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with humanity is the fact that in a city with a slew of legal brothels, where a man could find adult women willing to do anything he might want, there was still a market for a child prostitute. It made economic sense for a brothel to have one available. THAT'S what makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with humanity.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure you're not Hitler.

Not sick at all...Just sick people who think so...Up until not too long ago girls here, and elsewhere married young...Also no one ever thought anything weird about seeing someone naked, only in the last few years (decades) have people become so perverted..It is all in the viewers heads...It is what THEY think......It is those individuals who think nasty things, that are so vocal about this crap...Shame on you.............

so if i abduct a child and take none sexaully suggestive photos its ok.
or if i get permission from the wannabe celeb mom to film her 12 year old daughter nude i can.
Justify hiwever you want but at the age of twelve brooke shields had no *beep* clue what being nude in film at sucha young age can be.
So im allowed to go to nude beaches
take pictures of children and then sell them to the internet as art. stfu look
man.
I get it you are a pedo, stop trying to justify a 12 year old being bude in a movie.
I ASK YOU THIS. DID WE REALLY NEED TO SEE A TWELVE YEAR OLD COMPLETELY NUDE TO PROGRESS THE PLOT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Just another case of rich pedos getting away with pedophillia because they have money and it is art. stfu.
