Damn, I wish I went to your school
Seriously, though, this film is art. People took time and money to write the story, hire a crew, hire a cast, film, edit, and distribute, all to convey a message about young love.
The purpose of child pornography laws is not to outlaw depictions of nude children, or even depictions of child sexuality, but to prevent psychological damage to the children.
In this case, I do not see any psychological damage. Of course, I do not have a "behind-the-scenes" point of view, so I cannot tell if there was any coercion. -

While it
s true that child pornography laws are to prevent psychic damage, so it doesnt matter that much anyways, BUT however this movie is not even made in a way thats supposed to arouse the viewers. Its telling a story. A story that is sometimes romantic and tells about some kind of coming-of-age, it also is a drama without happy ending, and is also exploring the cruel sides of a teenagers mind. Sex is an integral part of the story, but its not the center.
On the other side, people are true when they say this isnt to be compared to American Pie. Even IF American Pie promoted teenager sex, this would only worry the really conservative. I mean, face it, teenagers DO HAVE sex. Most people definately wouldnt mind seeing, say, 15-19 aged teenagers, doing it, while they would mind 11/12-years olds. I don`t really necessarily think that doing it with 12 HAS to be worse than with 15, but I wanted to add many people feel this way. -

If YOU watched this movie and saw it as dirty or sexy..then I'm afraid YOU are disgusting. It isn't supposed to be sexy. Unfortunately extreme Christians and such see something like this and think it's "dirty." Most Christians are dirty-minded perverts..

So you are calling this movie "child pornography" and you haven't even seen the film? No it is not pornographic on any level, and yes, it has a story that is disturbing and fascinating. Of course if your only exposure to this film is some loser creep in a video store fast forwarding a tape to the nude scenes in front of you, then I'm not surprised that you would think that. However I am surprised that this title made it to a video store in the US as there has never been a legal release of it in North America, due to it's controversial (but not pornographic) nature. That must have been an independent video store. The truth is, different people see sexuality in whatever "turns them on." for instance i had a friend who would watch womens tennis and drool over the way those mannish women looked in their tennis shorts. I personally don't find women tennis players erotic, and I didn't find this film erotic because i don't "sexualize" girls that young..I just don't see it. I think that people who see a film like this and think it's "dirty" must have dirty minds on some level. I saw "Maladolescenza" as a horror movie, and a very realistc portrayal of how cruel and vicious young people can be to eachother. Maybe you should watch it before you judge; it's not about "screwing" at all..

It's one thing to show ass shots but this is pretty graphic to where they showed Anus to if someone had asked my 12 yr old to do this type of stuff if they were a male id punch them right in the mouth .This is just whoring out your kids for some fame and cash idk why these idiots cant see that .Its the fact that they got very graphic with the nudity it just goes to show the perverted nature of some people in the industry
character is habitual action, we are what we do habitually. -

Of course, and Eva Ionesco was stunningly beautiful at this time. They are saying that a 12 year old girl shouldn't be "sexualized," which I get. But the fashion industry has been doing it for decades and i believe as long as the girls have a strong family support system, and have an understanding of what it means, I think it's ok.
