Pedophilia scene???

Do any of you remember the scene where the little blonde girl sat on some guy's lap, he kissed her neck or cheek? the girl later wet herself. Did the guy try to sexually abuse her?

That was her dad. And I think that girl was molested, because in real life Brandon was molested, and the way he looked at that little girl at that moment was like he knew what was going on. I'm sure someone who has been molested before could tell that better than anyone else. Very sad.

Thats the impression I got too. Glad someone cleared it up for me. Sad.

You confuse me with someone with remorse.

I watched the documentary about Brandon which featured interviews with John, Tom and Lana. There was no mention of John molesting his daughter, although I wouldn't put it past him. The scene in the movie could've been based on speculation from the real people, hence its not a blatant depiction of abuse.

they (the previous posters) are projecting pedophilia into the film. I didn't even think of that word at all EVER while watching the movie.

I thought thats what was suggested by that scene.

Yeah I think the same. It was suggested by that scene.
I even think that was the reason the little girl peed on herself.

Yes, I agree too - implied paedophilia but not blatantly demonstrated. Leave it open to the viewer's interpretation............plus the movie-makers can't be sued.

Yes, I definately got that impression from the scene.

I personally felt disturbed when he fed her beer. That's just great! Getting them started right into a life of every else in that house! So sad.

[–] theoriginalskinnyrinny 12 years ago

I also saw it has her reacting to the beer at a very, very young age. She looks a little loopy and then wets herself. John was more peeved that someone else tried to feed it to her, then, stupidly, gives her his own.

IMDB, where a father with his daughter on his lap is called a pedophile.

[–] kayd89 11 years ago

It wan't her sitting on his lap. He was kissing her head like her was turned on.

I literally am watching the movie right now, for like the 5th time and I just noticed that scene as well and came on here to see if anyone else noticed that... glad I wasnt the only one. John definately kiss the lil girl April very strangely, like a sexual way and then she peed on him, and if anyone else noticed her dress was up when he picked her up.
