This movie is just all wrong

Well I am a very open minded person, grew up as a teen in the 60's and 70's, lived a pretty opened life in the 80's but no matter what the review said here and I quote: If your first impression of the film is that its an Erotic drama on incest, you couldn't be further from the truth." I just saw a female have romantic feelings for this child then later adult, no matter what her mental state was from the lose of her lover, Playing around, teasing each other and down right having sex with your lovers clone even if its not part of any of her own DNA this female still had this baby, breast feed this baby raised this baby to become a man to then have sex with him. Fact is this movie is very disturbing and I just cant stand to watch it the 2nd time ever and it should be banned from any showing of it in the United States, frankly I cannot believe it is showing on Showtime. People go through losses everyday and that doesnt mean its ok to clone( if we could) our husband or lover, and she didnt just have him cloned, she had him literally, birthed him, she was his vessel. She had that child out of her, it was her baby no matter what, and she literally had thoughts of love for him like you would a lover and thats just sick, she was sick, she was mentally disturbed and that doesnt make this movie some movie art. There is no candy coating the whole thing and turning it into some freaking art of a movie. And when I see so many here talking about how beautiful the whole thing was it just turns my stomach. Its like what kind of people are you. Thats no different then when a man and woman have a child then the child grows up to look more and more like the mother and the mother is growing old and the father is looking at the daughter like he use to see his wife with her beauty and then wants to have sex with his daughter cause it would be like having sex with his wife back when she was young. hats called being a pervert. Thats incest too. Would it be ok to adopt a baby and just because the child has no related DNA to the parents that adopted the child that its ok to have sex with that child when they become a teen or an adult? No. This movie cannot get a bye just because it has beautiful scenery and waves splashing and what, thats about it. There was no beauty in this film at all. It was a movie about a female gone crazy and off her friking rocker and had a clone of her lover so she could love it but yet breast feeds it and cares for it so she can use it as her lover one day. How sick is that. there is no pretending its ok. BTW I am no christian freak either, I am as liberal as they come but this movie is just sick. It should have never been made and anyone that actually goes out and buys the DVD needs to see a therapist. Only in another country would this be considered ok. UGH!!!!

Good you're not a fundamentalist, then you would also want the scriptwriter shot.

Yes the movie is very sick and disturbing. I was under the impression it was supposed to be? lol. It is very *beep* up issues they are exploring.

You poor thing. Your "normal" sounds a whole lot like the unnatural brain washing the christian church has succeeded on some poor people.

I might have news for you that you will most probably find utterly repulsive: Google "homosexual animals".
When you sober up, continue googling "animal incest".

Both happen in nature, with animals and plants. Or should I say "with immoral animals and immoral plants".

"it should be banned from any showing of it in the United States,"

LOL, why are you concerned only for the U.S.? I mean if you're hating on this movie why not declare it should be banned everywhere? Or are you only concerned for yourself, and if it's banned in the U.S., at least YOU personally will never accidentally have to hear about it again? You are highly irrational & narcissistic to boot. This movie has spooked your taboo, big shmeal. Get over it. Don't like it? Don't watch it again.

The thing is, this movie does not make a statement either way whether what she does (or what any characters do) is "right" or "wrong." You are ASSuming it does. It simply shows you a story - as yet a fictional one - depicting the morals and conflicting emotions that might occur should there arise such a situation. No one ever says "incest is okay" or even suggests it. Even the characters in the movie are not sure of their own feelings. It merely makes the viewer think. If it has offended your sensibilities in some way, then you're looking at it wrong, and that's your problem. No one ever, EVER says "it's okay to have sex your son or daughter." You said that. Nor does the movie even suggest any of what happens in it is "ok." It was made to make people think about the scenarios that could possibly arise with human cloning. If anything, it's a message to NOT mess around with it!

Only someone with a perverted mind would be so offended as you, and you hardly sound half as "liberal" and "open-minded" as you keep declaring.

Great point, Xeokym!
Where do people get the idea that the director endorses what the characters are doing? Does "Saw" mean to convince you that it's nice to torture people? Does "Lolita" mean to prove pedophilia is normal?
I didn't believe in Thomas's physical attraction to Rebecca, nor accepted Rebecca passively allowing Thomas act on his desire for her, nor did I find her behavior believable. It doesn't make the movie bad or immoral - it's still interesting and thought provoking.
I can see how Thomas could be genetically predisposed to be attracted to a woman like Rebecca, and Nature-vs-Nurture question the story raises is whether Thomas's life-long perception of Rebecca as his mother could at some point give way to his physical attraction? I would say, no, usually this doesn't happen in normal families. The incestuous desire of a son for his mother is usually precipitated by some trauma or jealousy and manifests itself in puberty. He would have been very unlikely to desire his mom, not after having a girlfriend. Finding out that he is not her descendant wouldn't have made a difference.
I don't believe either that Rebecca could harbor her attraction to Thomas through decades of raising him as a son. She had to give up on the idea of ever bringing back her lover from the start, which should have stuck in her mind over the years. This doesn't mean she could be prepared to experience the jealousy when at some time Thomas got a girlfriend - some mothers do go through that a bit.
I think the ending was artificial and intentionally provocative. I believe Thomas would have left Rebecca once he found out the truth, but there would have been no sex scene.

I was offended by the movie also. You have to draw the line somewhere and this movie definitely crossed it for me.

Not only that, the movie was awful even without the "controversial" issue.

Talk about overreactions.. the movie wasn't all that bad. Disturbing? Definitely. But worth banning? No... are you kidding?

Watch Salo http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073650/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4. It makes Womb (Clone) seem like child's play in the disturbing factor.
