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!!!!

How can you not use any real punctuation, or separate your thoughts into paragraphs? MY GOD, it's just one big block of WALL. It hurts the eyes to read.

It isn't as if this hasn't been covered before, just not to the extent the movie obviously does. In the "Re-Generation" episode of "The Outer Limits" revival, the dead man's lover is carrying his clone, promising they'll get revenge. Are we to think that she will treat him merely as her child or if they once more will be lovers? They do not introduce this thought, but it's undoubtedly there.

This film simply carries that out.

Didn't "Birth" step into "iffy" territory? That's what storytellers/filmmakers frequently do: explore "What if..."

BTW: I've only read about this film and have not seen it yet.

I just had another thought: Have you seen "Ghost Son"? That would be another "freak out" for you.

That technology also solves problems and could even solve this one. Rather than clone an entire child from a cell, it should become possible to take an adult stem cell and induce it to become a sperm cell which she could then use to impregnate herself via IVF. Moral dilemmas gone.

totally disagree with you - yea, it does come close to the edge of our moral sensibilities, but nonetheless, she REALLY loved Tommy - both of them; there's no getting away from that, or that such a feeling is a true, vibrant emotion, made even more poignant by the seascapes and muted dialogue; the movie is not 'all wrong' - itreally tried to express something different, and came astonishing close to doing so

LOL as if having been born in a certain decade and thus forced to grow up during another decade automatically made you open-minded.

Fact is this movie is very disturbing and I just cant stand to watch it the 2nd time ever

Fair enough. Nobody's asking you to. You didn't have to even watch it a first time.

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

That's where you lose me. Because you found it disturbing, it should be banned? Just to make sure everyone else is not able to make up their own mind about it, as they are entitled to?

Freedom of speech is pretty big in your constitution, look it up.

And I'd revise that statement about being open-minded if I were you. Because minds are like parachutes...

Last time I checked incest, pedophilia and rape were illegal in the US. Along with child pornography. So yeah, I think it should be banned. I have NO tolerance for sexualization of children.

reply

This "incest, pedophilia and rape" in this movie? That's preposterous.
Two consenting adults neither of which is a descendant of another having sex in the privacy of their home - what are you talking about?
