The left isn't sick. Controversial movie "Cuties" up for an Oscar award

[Ray From Cleveland]

Netflix’s French film Cuties has been shortlisted for next year’s Oscars nominations , despite accusations that it promotes “lewd content”.

Deadline reports that France’s Academy Award selection committee included the drama on their shortlist of films that are in contention to go forward as the country’s submission to the International Feature Film category at the 2021 awards ceremony.

Cuties, titled Mignonnes in France, seeks to criticise the sexualisation of young girls in modern society through its story of an 11-year-old girl who joins a dance “clique” to rebel against her conservative Senegalese background.

Written and directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, it won the directing award in the dramatic world cinema category at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

In case you haven't had the disgust to see any these movie clips, here are some of them:



We Americans have short memories, and all they had to do is let this go away after the public outrage. If this movie gets any serious consideration, it will anger the public all over again. What happens if it actually wins?

God put it the mind of everyone who is righteous or knows better.

He won't force us to fight for what's right. Free will.

But we will be judged by our failure to do so.

Yeah, that's pretty awful, nothing surprises me anymore, not even this. .

They area really making these awards worthless, not just who they give them to, but also who they consider. Trump is up for a bunch of peace prize awards and I hope he doesn't accept one if offered. He would be in bad company if he did.

There may be some people here that never seen it before. Everybody should see it.

No one would care about this stupid film if there wasn't so much hoopla surrounding it........................

the more you protest, the more people will watch this POS.

And as a hint, NETFLIX is loving all the CON-traversy surrounding it-----hell they are probably promoting all the whining.

Sure, it means ratings for them. It may be one of the reasons it's even being considered for an Oscar.

I've never seen it ... nor will I do so now ... that's some sick stuff ... anyone who wants to see this needs help, before they act out on their sexual impulses ... just sick ...

Truly idiotic thread premise – the film and any awards it might garner have nothing to do with ‘the left.’

The thread is ridiculous sophistry – a strawman fallacy where you attempt to advance the lie that ‘the left’ somehow ‘condones’ the exploitation of children – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

We live in a country where a candidate can say grab them by their private parts. The morals have headed south years ago.

The new rules are must be black. This qualifies.

All of entertainment is the left: Hollywood, the music industry, sports, social media, all left.

That's what I said, some people have never seen it before, and you need to see it to experience the anger. I can't imagine what kind of degenerate parents would allow their daughters to do anything like this. When these kids get a little older and look back, it could really cause some serious mental issues for them. I think the only people more deplorable than the parents are these people on the Oscar committee.

 

[initforme]

Yep ...and people wonder why neither candidate was worth my vote....hypocrites. lessers. Repeat....lessers

Ever heard of Brookes Shields ... kiddie porn is where she got her start ...

Baby Doll (1956) is a movie that touched upon some of these issues ... but they took literary license to make the age-of-consent 21, and had the girl be a 19-year-old ... played by a 22-year-old actress ... I do think these issues need to be discussed and presented in movies and other media ... and it's better to do so in a relatively non-offensive way ... if you can't deliver the message with over 18's, maybe you shouldn't be trying ... or am I just being an American? ...

I'm 60 years old, so I remember Brook very well. Given the nature of this topic, I also remember JonBenet Ramsey. Her mother wanted to relive her childhood through her daughter. You don't dress up your five year old to look like a 22 year old hooker and then throw her up on stage like Shirley Temple. Five year olds are not supposed to look like that. They're supposed to have dirty pants on from playing in a sandbox, with remnants of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich around her mouth, in ponytails. I think these kid beauty pageants should be outlawed in this country.
