  9. Well, given the difference in opinion between Sydney and Aba & Preach, I thought I'd watch the movie. I agree with Aba & Preach. In the context of the story: Centered around an 11 year old girl and her peers growing into THAT stage of their lives, trying to be older than they are - something hardly unusual with girls of that age, I thought the scenes in the movie were in context. Sydney may never have gone through that pre-teen phase, but many do. The security Guard was certainly intended to be an unattractive pedo - so his eyeing up of the girls was not being viewed approvingly. In the final dance scene the over-the-top sexualization of the girls dance was seen as distasteful by many of those viewing in the dance audience, and it was obviously the intent for that distaste to be shared by those in the films audience. At the very end it's clear that the main character realized she'd been wrong trying to grow up too soon, in large part a form of rebellion against her family life, and we're left with the impression she'd leaned to be herself at her age. Is this film exceptional in it's scenes of sexualization of underage girls? I'd compare it to Olivia Hussey at 15 in 1968's Romeo & Juliet and Brooke Shields at 14 in The Blue Lagoon, both of which were shown to my classes in 8th and 9th grade. In both of those movies the levels of nudity on display were considerably greater than in Cuties (Cuties being the name of the girls dance group). So, all said and done, I think this film has been a target of leftist thought police efforts at censorship because, hey, us average people are not able to make these calls for ourselves, only the thought police know what we should be allowed to watch, we're apparently not capable of seeing any context and the true message, apparently because we're all shallow pedos.
