This is hilarious! I loved this movie as a kid. Then about a week ago, a guy that works for me was watching "Once upon a time in America" at work (I am a good boss) and we both noticed that she was the little girl that Noodles was spying on. Weird.

Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

On another forum they joke about a "hive mind", but sometimes I think we are the product of a super secret government genetics program that accidentally went right.Originally Posted by Greg Bell

I was in a discussion on another platform about past movies which couldn't be made today (or couldn't be made the same way). At some point underage nudity came up and how it can't be done anymore. It was pointed out that Ana de Armas was nude in her first film at 16 in 2006. Back in '84 when this movie came out, Michelle Johnson was nude in sexual situations with a much older Michael Caine in Blame it on Rio, and she was 16 (also the nude debut for Demi Moore, pre-implants).
The Blue Lagoon was just 4 years prior to that with an underage Brooke Shields, and she had to convince Congress that all the nude shots were done with of age body doubles. Yet 3 years prior to that she appeared nude in Pretty Baby at the age of 11, and that movie was all about prostitution. I honestly can't comprehend how that movie EVER got made, much less MPAA rated.
I just don't get how they can get away with some things because it's "art" where others are banned. Seems like a double standard depending on who's making it and who's cast.
What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

In 1968 Olivia Hussey was not allowed to view her own film, Romeo and Juliet, because she flashed some boobies in one scene. Everyone else was allowed to see it but she was underage.I was in a discussion on another platform about past movies which couldn't be made today (or couldn't be made the same way).

And yeah, Pretty Baby was probably the most extreme example.
