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

[bodecea]

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?

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

Just like any of those child beauty pageants have nothing to do with Red Middle America.
