Question about nudity scene?

hello,

so my son is old enough to watch horror movies, listen to curse words, see all this violence and he seems to have no problem differentiating between fantasy and reality. However, although he is old enough for me to discuss sexual topics with him if he brings up the curiosity, I am not comfortable with showing him gratuitous nudity. Sexual innuendos still seem to go over his head.

Anyway, I want to know when in the movie the full frontal girl scene appears so i can skip it with him in the room. I saw this movie in the theaters, but remember little and don't really want to spoil myself if i can help it. If you could tell me the time in the movie (for example: @ 47 minutes) or so, I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Right. Let's show the kid all the NC-17 rated graphic torture, mutilation and extreme violence we can, but god forbid he see a naked woman!

You're a classic example of why some people simply make horrible parents and shouldn't be allowed with 10 feet of a child.

He's reaching puberty. I wonder what he will fap to with only torture scenes to reference in his mind. Maybe he'll just look for soft holes among the same gender.

If he is fapping to torture porn, don't worry, he won't grow up to be a reasonably well adjusted adult with Mild curiosity about the opposite sex, likie most of us did. He'll grow up to be a serial killer. Ya, I can see this as a better option, i mean, God forbid he should see boobs, but torture?? ya, that's awesome for an 11 year old.

I feel sorry for this kid if his first time seeing a nude woman is a tortured victim in a horror movie.

This is def not a series for 11 year olds

But in defense of violence/vs nudity 'protection' , I think it's about the likelyhood of real life immitation. Show a kid two people doing it , and two people stabbing eachother. The kid is more likely to go out and do itwith somebody some day than to stab someone. It's all about trying to control teen pregnancy etc.
I agree its irrational to be so anti-nude etc instead of having more of an educational process, but I feel there's greater risk of sexual content affecting a young persons actions than extreme violence.

Well kids 15 now so hopefully he hadn't been scarred lol.

God, I really cannot believe how people have such an issue over a naked body which is part of human nature, but seeing extreme graphic torture and mutilation is totally ok. It's like it's ok to show war and people killing each other on day time news, but god forbid they should ever show nudity of any sort! They even have nudity in films such as Walkabout, which is rated PG13, a great film about 2 school kids surviving in the desert.

Here's an interesting fact- they teach sex education in schools in which kids see the pictures of the naked male and female body in books (even in videos, although nothing pornographic) but I highly doubt they would show films such as the Saw series, because it's a bit twisted, corruptive and un-natural, and for grown ups only, you know?

Besides, don't young boys masturbate around the age of 11? He probably does it behind your back and may own a few copies of porn mags in his room anyway!

I seriously hope this is a joke.

SILENCIO....

@deepblue184

Your argument is completely flawed. "The might be able to take this but not able to take something that looks like breasts?" Doesn't the blood look like blood? Doesn't the torturing look like torturing?

If the child/parent has more of a problem with nudity than violence, then I think they need their brains checked. Nudity is natural, we see ourselves naked every day. In this movie, it isn't even slightly sexual. Torture is NOT natural and children are NOT acquainted with it.

"May not be ready to show this child the female form" - but ready to show limbs being twisted until the bones break out?? What the heck is wrong with you? The kid bloody KNOWS what the female form looks like, it's TOUGHT IN SCHOOL.

I'm going to go with TROLL because as a parent I can't wrap my head around something that stupid. You got us, man.

Guys, no actual parent should ever say they want to preserve their child's innocence by shielding them from nudity but allow them to watch torture. Because it wouldn't matter if they knew what was Real and what was Fake, since the things that happen in this movie could potentially be Real.

Closing it out: OP was looking for uproar.

Hope you're kidding. If you let him watch this level of violence then the issue of nudity should not even cross your mind. Idiot.

[–] dnaceva 10 years ago

Might as well let him watch the naked woman. That's the least horrific thing in a Saw movie.

[–] Gambit771 10 years ago

What full frontal nudity? She has her legs closed the whole time and you never see her privates.

I don't remember exactly where that nude scene is. I brought my 8 year old son and 10 ten year old daughter to see this movie, and was really shocked when that scene was shown. We almost walked out, but I decided to stay, but made my kids cover their eyes during the nude part. I complained to the theater manager later about this, but he didn't seem to care. Last time I go to that theater.
