How come the plot of a mother being in love with her son not considered controversial?
And the film has always been considered a “family” film?
share1) It's NOT controversial. Why would you consider it controversial?
2) The 'mother' isn't YET his mother, they're basically the same age, from any non-hysterical viewpoint, it's just 'two teenagers interacting' and nothing more.
3) It's not LOVE, it's LUST, it's a CRUSH. At best, it's 'emotional lust' (but this movie shows it very sexually as well). It's a typical teen crush that people get, the Florence Nightingale-effect has nothing to do with love, even though Doc explains it that way.
4) What's wrong with you, are you in some kind of medication? This is a movie, not a documentary.
5) How can an EMOTION be 'controversial' or 'immoral'? Lorraine can't help it, and 5b) she doesn't KNOW it's her son. It's all completely innocent... well, for the most part. What would make it controversial in your opinion? From Lorraine's point of view, she just sees a cool guy and feels something for him. THAT IS IT.
Are you going to ban 'feeling'? Do you want to live in the world of the movie 'Equilibrium'?
Hello? HELLO? ANYBODY HOME? *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
6) Logically, morally, even emotionally - what's really WRONG about even incest? The only argument that is valid and stands the test of logic, is that the children from incest would be mutants of some sort. What if you are not planning to have children?
7) Aren't parents SUPPOSED to love their offspring? Why would it be wrong for a mother to love her son? Are you all right?
7) Aren't parents SUPPOSED to love their offspring? Why would it be wrong for a mother to love her son?
You already pointed out in your third paragraph that "It's not LOVE, it's LUST, it's a CRUSH." Obviously not the same kind of love that a parent has for their offspring. share
