Movies and TV Dakota Fanning to be raped onscreen

Just to clarify, I have zero problems with the actual concept of the movie. Great idea, definitely a serious social issue, more power to them.

But to go to some of the graphic lengths suggested is unnecessary. There's many an artist out there who can put your mind in the direction they want you to go and let you figure out the rest. I prefer it that way sometimes. You could even make it brutally uncomfortable. Have a closed door, have the sounds, everything. But to actually simulate the act on film, that's pretty rough. I completely understand the art argument, but I don't think it's necessary, and I don't think the actress has the maturity to understand the decision she'd be making. Or the gravity of what the scene will mean to people who have experienced something like this. Maybe her parents and the director do, but she doesn't. She's just being used as a million dollar pawn.
