I do have a post coming soon about the COVID-19 vaccine that is coming to a syringe near you but I felt something put on my heart to write a quick post about Netflix and the controversial film they just released called “Cuties.”
Now I have to freely admit that I haven’t actually seen this show but I’ve seen some screen grabs of it and some clips and I am certainly not liking what I’m seeing.
It’s a French film that follows 11-year old girls who are dancers. From what I’ve read, some of the scenes show them dancing erotically or twerking.
People critical of the movie say that it is ‘normalizing’ the sexualization of pre-teen girls. The Parents Television Council had earlier objections to this film. The stood by those objections with director Melissa Henson stating that the film ‘” normalizes the sexualization of little girls” and desensitizes “millions of viewers at home by asking them to be entertained by it.”‘
Here is something I found on IMDB in the Certification section under Nudity:
“One child is doused with water while wearing a tiny tank top and teeny underwear that expose her butt cheeks…. child bounces as the camera focuses on breasts and child gets on all fours and grinds pelvis into floor and twerks while camera films from behind with an up angle on child’s mostly bare bottom and underwear in crack.”
Netflix says that it is a social commentary on the sexualization of pre-teen girls. Those who support the film say that it’s a beautiful picture and should be treated as such an that the marketing material and posters gave the impression that this was a film about sexualizing pre-teen girls.
Okay, Netflix…not cool. Not cool at all.
I’m not going to tell you what to watch or what decisions to make for you or your family but for my family, we are not going to watch this and we have already canceled Netflix.
Okay, I had to vent and I had to get it out there. Thanks for bearing with me on this.
God Bless!
