Just proves again how sexist the film industry is.

Go ahead, laught and mock but its true.

EVERY SINGLE other movie I have seen about horses feature a young girl as the main character...

BUT when it calls for a strong character who must struggle to survive.. you guessed it, they cast a boy!

Name me one movie.. JUST ONE movie that features a young girl as a hero. I am not talking about happy go lucky movies like Matilda and The Little Princess.. but survival movies like Lord of the Flies and Black Stallion.
How many? None.

Hollywood will age a female character to get their 'chick flicks' or use boys to satisy their nambla needs. They treat young girls as victims, never heros.

I swear to god, I will sue the crap out of the film industry.

What's with mentioning of Nambla?

What does a group of pedos have to do with anything?

"Hollywood will age a female character to get their 'chick flicks' or use boys to satisy their nambla needs. They treat young girls as victims, never heros."

1. They don't put boys in films to "satisy (satisfy) their nambla needs."

2. Heroes, not "heros."

3. If they're female, they're heroines, not "heros" (heroes).

Sue away. While you're at it, sue me, too.

"Island of the Blue Dolphins"* and "Nim's Island" have been filmed and if "Julie of the Wolves" hasn't, it should be.

*Not very well and badly in need of a remake.
