Review of Moonlight

Moonlight (2002)
In Europe 13 year-old girls can be naked in movies and have sex - and all in the name of "art", of course.

Warning: Spoilers
A typical European pretentious "message movie", except I've no clue what the message could be? Here's a list of possible messages:

1. If you find a foreign boy who is wounded and running away from drug-smugglers, it's best to call the police, or at least tell your parents about it.

2. If you shoot a boy, make sure you check he's dead, because a rich adopted girl living in ther woods could find him, nurse him, have sex with him, and then... NOT call the police.

3. If you want to have pedophiles watch your movies, get your 13 year-old actress to take all her clothes off and have sex with a 13 year-old boy.

4. 13 year-old Afghan boys who are mortally wounded in the stomach are perfectly capable of having sex - for the first time - just hours before they die, with their new-found Dutch girlfriends.

The movie has barely any dialogue, as is typical of so many European, especially Scandinavian dramas (yeah, I know, Holland is not in Scandinavia, but it's close enough). However, the movie is sufficiently strange as to be watchable, in spite of its absurd premises.

Naturally, the movie ends tragically. Anyone surprised?

How many pedophilic internet forums discuss/worship this movie? I wonder...
