Protecting the Rape Scene

This thread is too long and I didn't read all the posts, I am sure that there are many interesting opinions, but I am in a rush and just wanted to adress a point before I have to go:

Movies are about entertainment, pure and simple

This is so very far from the truth; movies are also about telling a story, they are also a form of art and they are considered as such.

In this case it is not about people wanting to see a person being raped (wether is an adult, a child or a teenager) it is about causing a reaction of disgust in the audience to make them feel involved with the storyline, that is one of the most important things that are characteristic and essential in all forms of art; move you, cause different kind of feelings, being thougth provoking.

If they succeeded in making you feel the disgust that a rape encompasses, then it means that the goal was fulfilled, however, if you are not mature enough to acknowledge that these kind of things occur and you don´t have the capacity to endure a realistic story, then perhaps you should stick to ligth comedies or action movies. But do not try to censore these kind of stories for people who are mature enough to assimilate and think about what is going on with what is being presented for them.

You will find that throughout history, countless stories have been told in different manners in art. Songs, paintings, literature, etc. Not all of these stories are about flowers and rainbows.

Saying that movies must be exclusively made for entertainment is pretty ignorant.

A bigger question is when did criticizing child rape become crazy or psycho? Why must anyone who has a problem with child rape as entertainment be mocked? When did someone who is against child exploitation become the bad guy????

The reason telling the truth is so unpopular is that the wicked are waxing even worse and their deeds are becoming increasingly evil. They have forsaken God and worship the "intellect."

Romans 1:22 (KJV)
22:Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Romans Chapter 1

2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

1 Corinthians 3:20
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.


1 Corinthians 3:18-23 (KJV)
18:Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
19:For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20: And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21:Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
22:Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
23:And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Movies are about entertainment, pure and simple.

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Godfather? All about entertainment, right?
