um dude, why isn't the little girl wearing a shirt?

Blocherd I don't know if by exposed you mean simply completely uncovered or if you think Elva Josephson who played the child version of Em was pressured into doing these scenes and essentially exploited and I also wonder if you think that any of the other child or teen actor were pressured into doing any scenes less than fully clothed. I have scene the original movie and listened to the directors commentary many times and the only person in the first movie who is mentioned to have any problem doing scenes less than fully clothed is Brooke Shields who to make the scenes work she is always is somehow covered or has a body double. That said if they were willing to compromise for one of the major actors I imagine if either of the child actors who played young Em or Richard had said they didn't want to any or some of the scenes naked they would have found another way to make the scenes work. Also this applies to both movies as I and many other people on this conversation have said children are naturally immodest so maybe when they hired the kids who played the younger versions of the characters they probably asked when they interviewed them with a parent present if the child had any objections to doing the scene less than fully clothed. Also I am pretty sure that it was after the 1980's movie was made that people got frankly paranoid about child nudity. I am not sure when you saw the original movie but at most the children versions of Em and Richard are fully naked for a few minutes when they first decided to go swimming they are originally wearing undergarments but not long after they take those off likely because the wet clothes were uncomfortable as well as the heat right after that Paddy is chasing them trying to make them wear something to no avail in both these scenes they can be seen frontally nude but if you blink you can miss it around the same time they are both playing on the sand clearly still naked but as they are facing away from the camera you don't see much.
