I feel like it falls into the same problem of 12 years a slave where by showing everything in graphic detail it almost turns into exploitation. half the people seriously looking for a nuanced take on these subjects will be turned off from using the same imagery as the stuff it’s trying to satire if it makes sense?

Roman Polanski made Tess and it’s a really well thought out youth/sex positive movie (probably better than this but I don’t wanna watch it). Roman Polanski is also a convicted pedophile. A lot of the ‘wow you’re just seeing what you wanna see’ reminds me of the takes anime fans use to defend that garbage schlock, and while nothing here is quite like shitshow there has to be something to be said about the whole ‘message is the media’thing Maybe ban child actors? Irresistible was a great example of materials not supporting the messages/themes but I feel like that’s different because kids can’t give consent to the things they’re acting out on screen the same way an adult can . All these kids are gonna be followed around by creeps on social media like Disney starlets (not even getting into stuff like the countdown on Dakota fanning/Olsen twins hitting 18) and lord knows how the movie production affected them too. That good boy movie raised a lot of these problems I had with all this but that was deflected with a lot of ‘it’s just a coming of age story’ excuses. both of these movies were made for adults and while adults should be barred from this exploring type of stuff I feel like there’s a better way to convey these themes/messages to adults and kids alike without having kids twerk on film?

I guess to bring it back to my slavery movie comparison there has to be better ways to show these horrific topics without just being blasted with visceral imagery, and with how much media has already done this type of stuff it turns into viewer fatigue and borderline exploitation

Is there a thoughtful piece to even extract from Senegal values against French sexual liberalism? Is the movie trying to say African conservatism is better than pedophilia or that French sexuality identity hinges on it? I’m kinda confused on that very thing too but I guess I kinda shifted the original argument in my rant

https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1997-12-30-1997364099-story.html And tons of black people were mad at the amistad for being another slave movie where the white man functionally saves another negro again while forcing ethos by blasting you with tried and true imagery. The films gaze is problematic in itself the same way cuties is even if the message/theme is correct. In this aspect django unchained or like hard candy is a way better movie even if there isn’t a lick of historcal accuracy (you can look at the difference in youtube comments between a django scene or American history x scene) You say what I say in the second paragraph where we can do all these these things with a positive gaze on top of good themes/messages. White people didn’t care about amistad but I hated it, and I only learned about this movie from black woman on twitter blowing up about it so the ‘I think woman understand it more than you guys’ flies about as hard as the ‘12 years a slave was made by a black man actually’. There’s already been films that did this topic better with more nuance but even trying to discuss this is a no go?

Origami Dali posted:If a movie is critical of minstrel shows and features scenes of blackface to make its point, are those actors/the filmmakers being racist regardless of context? Serious question. I mean.... I loving love tropic thunder and race is just a social construct unlike age. I think I’ve read enough racial theory to say tropic thunder is slightly racist but with how much care it takes in handling it and pure comedy/satire in itself (the blazing saddles exception I guess I’ll call it) it can slide in the grand scheme of blackface history. Maybe a side note that they shoulda handled simple jack as well as the racial stuff. A lot of people can and will go ‘what about whiteface’ but whiteface doesn’t have the cultural or historical weight blackface carries (or any racial caricaturization has) because whiteness is still pretty new and blank in the historical game of race. Black identity only seems so strong because nationalization and tribal/clan systems are long gone for large groups of black people (that’s why biden got in trouble for assuming black people are a monolith very recently). Asians/natives/Hispanic/Arab groups had the same problems for as long as modern fiction has been around but I think blackface is special because it was so used in lockstep with America’s apartheid system, it’s almost a symbol of Jim Crow at this point. Which then multiplies in itself with historical and modern anticolorism that’s in all our media/society (same reason why a top tier black pornstar makes way less than an asian pornstar who’d make less than the Hispanic pornstar and then finally the top billed and paid white pornstar). I think another thing that puts blackface on its own level is even when other races fall and rise in amounts of caricaturization black qualities and blackface itself has always been deemed the worst. It’s easy to say ‘this is just Jim Crow poo poo from America’ but the Netherlands has that racist Santa helper that sprung up from around the early 20th century and even asian/Hispanic/Arab media’s and lenses view black qualities in horrible lights (you can pull dozens of racist East Asian commercials or look at black treatment itself in South America and the Middle East). So yeah I think even in the best context and meaning it’ll still come off as bad at best or anti-black at worst. Art isn’t just in a vacuum that you can nitpick free of the time and context it was made in. But I love tropic thunder a lot it made me lol so who’s to say at the end of the day.

Skwirl posted:Yeah, why the gently caress does a French Senegalese woman think we should care about her personal experiences? She's not me, why should anyone care? Idk probably looks like straight up pedobait? I’m African too and think it’s hosed up contrasted to my African or western values. If the message isn’t that strong to begin with then there’s as much merit to dissecting that then there is to the piece of art itself. You constantly keep using her race as some deflection or conflation to everything else you could talk about in the film. And for the 3rd time even with all the messages and themes there’s still something to be said with all this especially in the ‘sexual assault and culture of Hollywood thread’ Last post since I’m obviously just going in circles repeating myself I guess Edit:.If a white Frenchman made the movie then you’d just fall back on the ‘it’s just art we should be able to critique art ok’ and it should be even more damning that the only thing you’re holding as a defense is identity. I’m glad I used 12 years a slave as an earlier example cause I didn’t even know the director was black till well after the fact, it’s still exploitative And since the French already have a history with this material and topic I could just as easily turn around and say it’s some schlocky problematic French film at the end of the day. But that isn’t the core argument Professorjuggalo fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Sep 11, 2020 |

I also agree big mouth isn’t comparable and I even said myself the problem with this is the same problem as exploitation movies. There’s gonna be adults watching this film who don’t see the message or ignore it and kids who also watch it and miss it only adding to the alarming and already pointed out trend in society (but with a official studio backing). Which means at best this is something for the audience to chew over and not something FOR the exploited groups it’s preaching on. This is all stuff feminist and black groups were saying about horror and exploitation films (but both have addressed this in ways with some drat good modern horror movies and the entire blaxploitation genre). And horror and exploitation films had histories with demands from the top to put in extreme scenes to justify making movies about heady topics in the first place. While that’s a larger problem with capitalism in itself I feel these things amplify way worse with the nature of child labour. From wikiapedia: An exploitation film is a film that attempts to succeed financially by exploiting current trends, niche genres, or lurid content. I’m not arguing that exploitation films don’t have a place in society, but that using children put them past a grey area from the power dynamics involving children. The same reason I let big mouth go makes me hate a movie like Good Boy Plus I’m sure the film director is gonna get off smoother than any of the child actors. Most of the Qanon paranoia is directed at Netflix the corporation Edit: I’ve never watched big mouth so idk about anything regarding it other than it’s a cartoon about adults voicing teens during puberty. That’s all I used to base this off of and isn’t defending or trashing the show cause I don’t know poo poo about it Professorjuggalo fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Sep 12, 2020 |

You guys keep talking about how there’s stuff valid in the movie but constantly sidestep my whole exploitation point. It’s not a Puritan argument I’m making since I spent posts positioning my thoughts on exploitation as a whole. Theres TONS of media for adults and teens and kids alike that tackle this stuff without needing to resort to filming kids twerking in a worse gaze than a hype Williams music video. I never watched Donnie darko but even Little Miss sunshine handled its worst scenes with a infinitely better gaze than that cuties clip. A lot of these defences on what we think the kids can handle or internalize during these filmings I think get addressed in the Foucault ‘competent child’ argument. The same commodifications that happens from war movies or slavery movies or woman getting slashed up on screen fall short on how children are socially and mentally, and by extension how society views kids thereafter (and even before but I don’t wanna turn this into the Foucault show). It’s not some ‘save the children!’ pearl clutching but another bump in the long road of media, capitalism and sexualization. If media is a window into society (if you’ve never seen a Frenchman in your life and are asked to imagine one you’re probably gonna think up some caricaturization in a beret with baguette) then by showing this as is even with its message it’ll get commodified even in the smallest amount into what the Netflix marketers and outragers all see it as. Anime is a whole other can of worms on top of how japan views sex and children (wasn’t child porn banned there in 1999? The guy that made rurouni kenshin got caught with a bunch of child porn and was accepted back in society with open arms), plus it doesn’t apply to this discussion or argument

I’m really done posting but something can be exploitative and come from the exploited group. There’s a billion think pieces on how typically exploitative and tired 12 years a slave is and it was made by a black man. The Qanon outrage is bullshit for sure but people are trying to handwave everything with this large narrative of Puritan conservative backlash when there’s other legitimate grieving. Society has a huge problem with teens and the whole Britney Spears ‘Im not that innocent’ tilt of sex appeal, and has for a long time. Making people uncomfortable by blasting it on screen and then having the film go ‘wow isn’t that hosed up?!’ Isn’t new or impressive and my entire point the means aren’t enough to justify the ends, especially when the means are laid on extra thick TO justify the end. I can maybe assume that’s why hollywood gave up on this bullshit as a way to pull out cheap ethos

This loving sucks and you’re all are doing the same pearl clutching on both sides that should be against the whole drat ‘no politics’ poo poo. Half of these posts are just “YOU can’t talk about this now cause you’re being reactionary”. I did better discourse by myself over two pages than all of you combined come on. Either say something of substance or move on cause you’re all just arguing about different things and getting mad about it

That one? hard counter posted:i don't know how it's even controversial to be antagonistic toward cuties This was my entire point throughout all my posts.

mycot posted:VV That was after you edited it. The original post was just the tweet that made the kinda strange "Adults shouldn't make stories about children aimed at adults" take. I think someone mixed up your posts with Bust Rodd's and that's why people are so negative toward you, but I legitimately can't tell if you forgot what you posted where or if this is some galaxy-brain thread manipulation. I edited that poo poo WAY earlier and didn’t even touch anything on that part. It all flows into the same drat message too.
