So that only people not offended by nudity go to see that movie. Seems fairly simple. So, even if you see Dakota's bare chest in the movie, I don't think that (in and of itself) is bad or good. It just is..

I will respectfully disagree with the above.....

I also believe that people are generally good, and that if anybody involved (including the director, or the actor's union) thought the movie was going too far, or that they were jeopardizing Dakota's mental health, they would stop filming, and either find a different way to shoot the scene, or cast someone else. Perhaps someone older. .

I also respectfully disagree with the above....only a little more intense. I just cannot believe that a 12 y/o is capable (no matter how much more mature she is than the average 12 y/o) of fully understanding this and making an informed decision. I also
DON'T believe that people are generally good, especially when it comes to making decisions that involve money or fame for themselves (directors or the actors). And I question any parent who would agree to allow their daughter to perform a "simulated" rape scene.
I know that in your posts you have stated that you would find another way to do this.....why can't the director do the same?
