When I heard about Dakota in this movie I felt uncomfortable about it also.

DR. PHIL, PLEASE - take this a step further on just how far a stage mother like Dakota Fanning's mother "Joy" sacrficed her daughter in the hopes of her little girl Dakota getting an Oscar nomination.  "It's a gritty perfomance that may just earn Dakota an Oscar".  Remember - Dakota as the little darling in "Charlette's Web"?  She is 12 years old now and just completed the movie "Hounddog".  In the movie the character gets raped by a grown man.  Dakota slips on a body suit while she "acts" like she is being raped by this grown man.  Her mother and manager thinks this ok because they are on the set, and she has a body suit on during the rape scene.  Dakota also runs around appearingly naked or clad only in underpants.  Dakota defended the actions of her mother saying they are "friends" and she totally trusts her mother's decisions regarding her career.  Please anyone reading this!!!  The only way to stop this is, is with the almighty dollar.  DO NOT PAY to see this movie!  Boycott the theater, Boycott next years Oscars.  In America we have free speach.  We have the choice to read what we want, write what we want.  We also have the right to choose not to put money into the pockets of people who produce and direct small children in basically soft porn films, and call it acting.  Imagine what frame of mind that little girl had to get into to ACT like she was being raped.  Did the other actor who was acting like he was raping her, grind himself into her body suit?  That poor child.  She will never have her innocence back.  The sad thing is that this desensitizes a person so much, you are just setting them up to be abused later in life.  Hollywood would not use children like this, if we did not pay to go see it.  Think of all the pedofiles and perverts who will now be able to walk into a general public theater, and be able to get their jollies all for 8.00 a look.  Don't support the abuse of this child, and the others like her.
I know it's only acting but she's just 12 years old. I saw her being interviewed about it and she does indicate that she trusts her mother's decisions. That's kinda sad. I think she's a little young for that sort of thing. I guess it's just a sign of our times.I really can't understand her mother's thinking on this decision.

I'm angry that Dakota's mother would put her in that position. I lay alot of blame on Deborah Kampmeier the producer/director of the film. The director seems to have a fascination of child/teen rape. Her first film "Virgin" she glorified a 15 year old being drugged with roofies then raped. Without the teen's knowledge she thought she had an immaculate conception. Thats what's disturbing about Hollywood.People like her and Victor Salva (a convicted paedo from powder and Jeeper Creepers fame) will hide behind artistic license. It should be time for someone blackball these two and others like them from working.

 

I'm for the 1st admendment upto a certain point. when it comes to softcore child porn or grooming techniques in films. Thats where I draw the line.

I'm with you...I won't pay to see this movie in anyway...That's not necessary, even if they want to tell the story that kind of acting is not needed.
