I'm not going to waste my time watching such a film. Certain people will use any defense they can, I don't care if it's French, American, Spanish, Russian, I don't care. I'm not watching it. There's nothing "powerful" about it, and it isn't juvenile to dislike something that's graphically disrespectful and explicitly contradicts it's own message.
You're making assumptions based on my one view you disagree with. I don't care about Michelangelo's artwork, I don't know if it's pornography or not. I don't have time to worry about it. I don't think Romeo and Juliet should be "banned," but I think it's overrated as required reading in school. Shakespeare has many better plays than that one. (Like a modern movie can be compared with those things anyways.) Unlike them, "Cuties" is actually offensive.

You're harshly criticizing a film you never watched and don't understand. The film is about France, therefore it's origin is important. I doubt that you know the film's message.
You don't know if Michelangelo's masterpieces are pornographic? Would that include his painting on the ceiling of the The Sistine Chapel at the Vatican?
Shakespeare is overrated?
At least three are banned: “Romeo and Juliet,” “Hamlet” and “Macbeth.”

Oh I know the message and I'm not going to subject myself to it.
So you said "I probably think his work is pornographic" when I never said that and then you're essentially saying it is after making it seem like a bad thing if I were to think so.
Of course someone defending the film "Cuties" would twist my words around. You know I didn't say Shakespeare is overrated. I said Romeo and Juliet is and that he has better plays. Is that calling him overrated if I said I like his other stories? They're not banned where I am by the way. We read all those stories in school.
I'm not going to continue this thread because the OP was supposed to be a fun topic. Plus, I'm sure this has already been argued numerous times on it's own board. If you need to continue the discussion, message me.

What's the message?
"I don't care about Michelangelo's artwork, I don't know if it's pornography or not."
It's not!!!!!
The ban isn't only "Romeo and Juliet". Several of Shakespeare plays have been banned.
Not really. That board is filled with QAnoners who haven't seen the film. If they didn't whine so much about the film, it wouldn't have appeared in Trending which was free promotion for it.
