It is films like this that make it seem "harmless" and "okay" for molesters, abusers, and neer-do-wells to continue in their perversions. Those children were severely exploited for "art" and their parents should be arrested for allowing them to participate in such a disgusting display of legal child porn. Anyone who has ever been abused or molested would be disgusted.
These young actors will be severely messed up for participating in this tripe. Morally reprehensible. -

Yeah, so I guess every film that has a murder in it is to blame for actual murders. And I bet you read interviews with Miranda July too, to understand what she was actually trying to do right? But that would have been the
logical
and
sensible
thing to do, so I doubt it.
I agree with her, a child's sexuality, the thoughts and feelings they have, should be allowed to be explored without it being considered pedophiliac and dirty. All she's doing is saying that the existence of these feelings should be acknowledged, not that children should be abused because they exist, that children are less child-like because of them.

Legal child porn? Wow, how do I begin to go about deconstructing that statement? Okay, I'll make it simple: A. they're not children, they're teenagers. Teenagers have sex. Pretty much all of them. B. it's called acting it's obvious the boy isn't really unclothed and the girls aren't remotely doing what it appears they're doing. It's all very tastefully done. C. the only one "messed up" here is you and your bizarre moral stance.

and yet you call yourself "freemind1998."
.
What if these young actors grow up to be normal, loving, healthy people?
Will you feel let down?
.
My own mother held me down as a child and tried to anally violate me.
And she did other things that I'm not going to tell you about.
She would pr5b4obably agree with your opinions about this film.
.
Please don't ever speak on behalf of victims of abuse again.
You know NOTHING.
.
p.s. I spent this afternoon at the hospital, spoonfeeding my mom after the open-heart surgery she had last week.
Think about that.
Open your heart. -

thats too bad about your response to the scene.
this film is about finding a relationship in the wrong place, and that's worded horribly. its like a comment on how desperation in common relationships, and how fishy it can get, and find love where its not supposed to be. between an artist and a brown suited shoesalesman, or two elderly people too late in life, obviously with robbie and nancy herrington. i thought the film was remarkable. -

the point to the movie was all of the cast were lonely and the loneliness was portrayed through several aspects of an array of people. sure, it was a little detailed, but it's still a common thing in society and it definitely fit with the idea of the movie.

No kidding. I watched Garden State and was like "cool", then I popped in "Code 46&quo2000t; right after Garden State and was 10X more impressed with Code 46. Probably within the first five minutes of the film. So maybe even indie-film fans need to expand their horizons a bit.

Join the real world. Everybody I knew(or just about everybody) had either lost their virginity before or in high school or within 4 years after. The myth of abstinence is a far-right kook lie that is perpetrated by individuals who just want to control others' private sexual lives and fetishes.
That's good news, as I'm a 22 year old virgin guy who graduated about 3 1/2 years ago, that means I should be finally having sex within the next few months.

that's so strange. i know many virgins (myself included) who choose to be so as a moral decision to wait until marraige.

Sucks to be you. Me I had an absolute blast having sex and I didnt make anyone pregnant and I didnt get any std:s and no one got hurt. And not having sex has nothing to do with morals. It's like saying that I dont intend to go to the bathroom because of a moral decision.
I agree with davidlundquist, although I did know a guy who decided to wait until marriage to go to the bathroom. He'll be missed. It's a sad thing too since, as everyone knows, toilet marriage is finally legal.
But seriously, I don't understand people who purposely decide to stay virgins. I guess I'm just bitter but I kind of hate them, especially beautiful girls. They probably have tons of guys who want to get in there but decide to keep the door closed while a shy guy like me (I have Social Anxiety Disorder, otherwise known as Social Phobia, thus the virginess) would kill to have a just 1 girl, even half a girl, say one who had no arms or legs but still had a nice face and a good personality, trying to get where no woman has gone before.

Wow, they were so not skanks. They were teenage virgins that were curious and scared about their developing sexuality. And they relied on each other and making the experience clinical to make themselves feel safe. And it was weirdly beautiful
Exactly. They are just teenage girls curious about sex. It's so sexist that boys are allowed to be frisky but girls who are, are called whores or skanks. I think it's because men are afraid of female sexuality. They want to have sex but at the same time they want every woman to be a virgin. Talk about skanky.
Not all men are afraid of female sexuality. I wish women would be more open with their sexuality actually and be just like men are. I feel this way as a strong feminist and of course because of what I have already said
I loved this movie and this scene was good. God damn, Peter was lucky -

Both men and women are extremely narrow minded when it comes to women being in anyway forward in terms of sex. If a women initiates anything on screen she is a slut. No matter what the age.
In this film as other posters have commented, they are just finding their feet sexually, and are trying to come to terms with there own insecurities about there bodies, and there fear of being rejected and not being good at sex, or oral sex to be more specific.
This is highlighted when you see there reaction to both of them being "the same" when they ask the him how it was.
But aside from that, seen as the topic does seem to of wandered, I am curious as to why when a women is strong and shows she is comfortable with her own sexuality, that this is frowned upon by both sexes.
I have friends who are female (honest I do) and when watching ( I know, Its terrible) reality shows such as x factor and what not, or performances by women on stage, you hear them branding around the word slut and what not all the time.
People say they want to see women be strong and sexy and what not. But when a women shows this part of her personality, she is voted off said show in a heartbeat, because she is masculine or a slut, or what have you.
I realise a reality TV show might be a bad example at what I'm getting at, but its hard for me to explain. I'd also like to point out that I am subjected to such show's because I love my girlfriend, not because I like those shows.
I Sympathise with Lars Von Trier.
