I don’t doubt there’s an agenda at all. Germaine Greer has pushed the boundaries to this level as well. For this lot it’s just the next cultural taboo to “emancipate.” Their idea of freedom is to pull down all fences, including the ones around the kindy. Wrap it in witty dialogue with one positive message to make it palatable and serve it up for the masses, who are to refer to it as “brave.”

I know you’ve written on a particular theme in the movie, so I apologise for not commenting on that specific theme. I saw it a little while ago. I was astonished that a film like that could be shown in our world and that someone felt it was important to make. The movie glorified certain forms of paedophilia, even arguing at times it was a victimless crime.

What purpose is there for a film that glorifies the act of boys fulfilling the sexual desires of an elderly school teacher by being willing to be felt up by him on his motorbike as he drops them home from school?

The message it communicates is so destructive to society.

I’m wondering if there is an agenda behind this movie by some section of the community that wants to position paedophilia in a particular way.
