Extremely hostile critique on Funny Or Die
I'm getting the distinct impression that this guy [http://www.funnyordie.com/articles/4421e33c23/7-movies-that-are-all-ab out-kiddie-sex] didn't like the movie:
As I say, this whole bowel movement of a movie is completely vile and offensive. In addition to all the sexual abuse, there's some cruelty to animals as Fabrizio shoots a bird dead with his bow and arrow on-screen in front of Laura just to make her cry. Really, it's hard to find anything in this movie that isn't insulting to both one's moral sensibilities and one's intellect. I'd wager even a great many closeted pedophiles looking for a legal way to indulge themselves wouldn't enjoy watching this crap. Deciding which scenes are the most offensive is just about impossible: the prolonged focus on the naked Fabrizio with his dong hanging out at the beginning, the rough sex with Laura as she cries and whines but doesn't resist, Silvia joining in with Fabrizio in bullying Laura, Silvia crying and whining a lot herself as she gets lost in a cave, (Spoiler alert!) Fabrizio's finally getting sick of her complaining and stabbing her to death with a knife... Seriously, take your pick.
The only possible target audience for this movie, apart from bad movie afficionados willing to endure watching these torture instruments masquerading as movies on a dare, such as yours truly, would be actual violent child rapists like Fabrizio. Since these hardened criminals are all currently either busy raping and murdering children or in maximum-security prisons being punished for raping and murdering children, they won't be watching this either. The only part of the movie I didn't find eye-gougingly bad was the part 91 minutes into it: you know, the point that marked the end of both this movie and the ordeal of watching it.
He also has a few choice words for this movie's defenders:
On a few rare occasions, however, the detractors are dead right and all the pretentious eggheads' film jargon and psycho-babble about metaphorical-subtextual-yackety-yack can't gloss over the reality that a given movie is all about the severely underage rumpety-pumpety, on-screen or off, with everything else mostly there just to provide a contextual excuse. We're not talking about trashy movies in which teens played by twenty-somethings or even by actual teens get all wildly promiscuous on-screen, we're talking about tweens and kids in the single digits doing the four-legged frolic.
Though he doesn't mention what kind of a "dare" he took or what his prize was for taking it, this just goes to show, I guess, that the old "don't knock it 'til you've tried it" ploy doesn't work any better on movie critics than on kids who are finicky eaters. share
