Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Since she was a minor, it would have been illegal. It's entirely possible that some would label it as child pornography.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Not really, depends on how they did it. Recall that Thora Birch was 16 when she did the topless scene in "American Beauty", her parents consented.

Still, I strongly disagree with the opening comment here, there are always a few guys with teenager mentality who want to see a pretty young girl nude. The scene where the photographer dismissed everyone else and had Jesse undress was suggestive enough, we didn't need to see her nude. Plus the scene suggested that he talked her into having sex. Jesse was not as unspoiled as she first seemed. She understood what was necessary to get ahead.

To me the way the filmmaker showed this demonstrates that you can indeed portray these things without resorting to graphic images. Often the imagination is even more powerful.

Oh because once you hit 20, teenage girls become ugly. Right?

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Yea and Keira Knightley was as well for The Hole. Its weird how just getting permission from a parent to appear nude when you are a minor allows you to shirk breaking any laws. Permission doesnt change that you are STILL a minor.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Surely you jest....there have been oodles of examples of nude underage scenes in Hollywood.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

I was expecting there to be a scene like that but I was disappointed that the whole scene of them eating her was glossed over. I guess they were concerned about offending Puritans. Maybe there will be a director's cut with a complete scene.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

I'd bet Puritans make up a very small part of his target audience. A wiser suggestion is that the filmmaker decided either (1) doing it believably would cost too much or (2) he wanted viewers to use their imagination which on this type of story element can work better than showing it graphically. The blood-covered ladies was plenty graphic to stimulate your imagination if you let it.

NB - The "cost" consideration was significant, the filmmaker mentions it in his commentary, so anything they could do to tell the story he wanted while keeping costs down was a priority.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Don't be a perv. She was underage. Unless you are 15/16 years old this should not concern you - seeing a underage girl naked. And the movie worked perfectly without it. I felt it worked extremely well not seeing it. And that's because the actress did a phenomenal job.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny

Don't be a prude. It would have been perfectly legal for her to be nude. If you can't accept that then that is your problem not ours.

Yes, finding beauty in the naked body is perverted. It must be STOPPED.

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny you

You are speaking to an artist who paints nude bodies on a regular... I'm no prude. But I have a 16 year old sister and the idea of the male gaze at her underage body makes me sick and want to curb stomp. Lol

Re: Not showing Elle Fanning nude was corny you

I understand how you feel, but being an adult and finding teenagers attractive is perfectly natural. Now, with society being the way it is, it is usually a very bad idea to, as an adult, engage sexually or romantically with a teenager. But appreciating someone's beauty is not the same as being physically or emotionally intimate with them.
