Your logic is fuzzy.
As quoted from a similar thread on this topic:
"Not today, certainly, in the "home of the brave", "land of the free", where you don't have the right of habeus corpus or any form of due process recognized by civilized countries just 20 years ago.
Some day, however, when the forces who have taken over the U.S. have all been fed to the dogs, as they deserve, art and science both will be allowed to flourish as never before, and open public debate will resume over important matters of truth and justice, rather than the kangaroo courts of what is now little more than a Banana Republic (albeit where the bananas are ballistic missiles and drones)."
The film has little to do with archaic anti-sex laws either, laws that make criminals and/or victims out of teens and their often older companions over something NORMAL teens do every day. Laws whose intent is obvious from its effects. Selective enforcement of the laws have brought down high-profile adversaries to the system. Political dissidents are always arrested for "legitimate reasons". We readily accept the practice of jailhouse murders at the hands of our most esteemed moral leaders: convicted felons who apparently hate child molesters for some reason, but don't mind the company of men who rape women, kill their fellow men, or sell out their society for millions in white collar crimes. You don't have to approve of sex with minors to see that the laws regarding the issue are out-of-date and the sentences draconian at best.
To say this film is about making "statutory rape fodder..." is like saying "Cheech and Chong made the immoral war on drugs a central theme in their films." Most of the focus in Cheech and Chong movies was on getting high and having wacky adventures. The cops were only peripheral comedy elements, as in the real world when it comes to drugs. I would love to get high with an off-duty cop and watch Cheech and Chong movies in Colorado. It would be almost like believing our nation was not run by corporate, Christo-fascist goons.
Private Lessons could EASILY be made again, and with different genders in the cast of the same ages...all that needs to happen is a revolution and the return of America to people who believe in Liberty as a greater value than 100% security, which is impossible ANYWHERE at ANY time in history.
The anti-terror security industrial complex is just a front anyway. They aren't keeping anyone safe, nor is that why they exist. They are locking us all up and treating us as criminals. They just want control, not security, and certainly not freedom. ISIS is possibly a group of ex-special forces from the U.S. and Great Britain, hired at great expense to train groups of the most Arab-looking amoral *beep* to drive through towns and kill everything that moves, just like they did when they wore Uncle Sam's stars and stripes on their uniforms, only this time without fear of court martial. This may be the reason so few of the troops who committed such verified war crimes have been prosecuted. They may have been RECRUITED for this newest and most disgusting false-flag operation. 9/11 is now a holiday, after all. This is how America defines itself, by its fear.
Oops! Did I get off-topic? Maybe. But movies like this are certainly not something to get all excited about...in a bad way.
Love is like breathing. You have to take some in and let it out to live.
