      The girl was 19 in the film, so don't panic

      I knew she can't be 13, otherwise the film would be so banned, or she could never play the character so well.
      But who will not fall for that terribly sweet innocent irresistible smile of this little girl, I'd make her my girlfriend, if I may.
      Anyway, it's a funny and sweet movie with some serious issues existing in our society. A young girl can be so damaged inside, and without realizing it herself.
      or maybe the filmmakers is telling us something different... ...., who dares to...

      Said Alan Ball thought of "Arab Guy"

      In addition to his preference for the original "lust, desire, and nature", Alan Ball is also a very talented film and television person when he comments on his films and scripts. Although not very productive, they can guarantee the quality. The title of playwright of American Beauty (1999) should have been thrown into the twentieth century long ago in his career. Right now, what I pay most attention to is the American vampire film "True Blood" released by HBO. Although it is adapted from a...

      Real and unreal sex education film

      This is a very good    sex education film.
         After watching it, I deeply think that girls need better sex education than   boys Girl, sex is the same.   She used to think that sex is just a good feeling that gives you pleasure, and   when she sees the birth of a neighbor's child, maybe she will understand that sex is not just a pleasure.   There are also responsibilities, but also for the family At the same time,   this film also reflects the common problems of many adolescent...

      Women need to be equal to men

      The girl's father is a Middle Eastern hypocrite who has imprisoned patriarchy and is extremely racist.

      He says that he is a patriarchy because of his attitude towards his daughter's education. His attitude towards his daughter is either beating or slandering.
      This is not allowed... even wearing a tampon Don't allow it... He cares about crossing the line and
      doesn't let her wear clothes that show her navel, and it's a big slap when she comes up... In the
      end, he said...

      look back

      I started to clean up the movies on the hard drive this afternoon. I thought about it and thought about it, but I still haven't deleted it.
      I think it's probably because of Alan Ball. Instead of writing the two masterpieces "American Beauty" and "Six Feet and Clouds", and not writing about the "True Blood" that is currently on the air, I will write this one. It's just because the first two have too much to say, and the latter has not been broadcast yet.
      Relatively speaking, this is...

    • [first lines]

      Barry: You're beautiful just the way you are, Jasira. Those other girls are just jealous because you're growing up faster than they are. And you're prettier than they are. Listen, don't let it get you down. Stupid names they're calling you. This year - just gimme a second

      [wets the razor]

      Barry: this year, your gonna shut them up. Only, probably you shouldn't tell your mom about this.

    • Gail Monahan: [sending her off to her father] Bottom line is, Jasira, there are right ways to act around men, and wrong ways. And for you to know which is which, you should go live with one.

      [Jasira bursts out crying]

    • Rifat Maroun: [exasperated by visit] This guy is something else. He's an Army Reservist; he thinks I love Saddam. It's an insult, I'm an American citizen.
