Netflix Targets Critical ‘Cuties’ Tweets with Copyright Takedown Requests

One thing my friends and I agreed on here is that many of the scenes at face value wouldn't be so bad if not for the camerawork. Fine, show kids dancing in a normal shot. Instead, they chose to deliberately zoom in on their private areas, even out-of-place doing so, which pushed it into creepy territory, regardless how the creator intended it.

“private areas”

Really? Were they unclothed? If not, perhaps there’s a different message here that you may have missed?

Go watch “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer”, which I believe you’ll find on Netflix too. You’ll totally cheer along when they murder the fat man, who completely deserved it BTW. Though if you’re still cheering when they watch the home video they made of themselves murdering that entire family, then you may have missed the point of that film too.

Good film is a mirror on real life. And if real life doesn’t make your skin crawl, it’s either because you haven’t realized you’re a participant in it too… or because you actually enjoy it.

Sorry, I don't want to see zoomed in shots of little girls' crotches, clothed or not, regardless of any context. I don't really have much more to argue about.

Then don't. Stop talking about The Film That Can't Be Named.
