Dakota Fanning will continue to astound as long as she is in front of the camera. She, her mother, and her sister Elle are not fools. But those who criticize them are. But, you have rights, so go ahead and crit. I remember the stink when Alice Cooper came out with a song "Dead Babies" and everyone went boo hoo. Turns out it was a poison control ad. So get real, get a life, and go see "The Runaways". Did I see you down in a young girl's "town" with your mother in so much pain?

Yes dakota fanning is a brilliant actor she was brilliant in the role. But that scene was too real i am sorry they could of done it with more tact. The things the boy was saying I'm sorry but in order for that boy to say those words and basically act like he was getting off. I can't imagine who was coaching him in the room. To be honest i kind of blocked out dakota's part a little it was too much for me to handle. And no offense but the director saying oh we need to make people aware of the abuse and the pain that people go through i'm sorry but that is a poor excuse. She could of done that without being graphic. and let me say there are many ways one can be graphic. I have personally been a victim of child sexual abuse and let me tell you something i don't feel better after watching that film i don't walk away thinking "Oh thank God every body knows my pain now" In fact i was repulsed by it.

These people have to be intelligent to create and pull off such a fuss- so I'll say I am disturbed at the misuse of society's intelligence over this movie. Didn't this happen once or twice before? I'm thinking Jodie Foster, Brooke Shields territory? Is it easier to get enraged over a PRETEND rape in a STORY? Dakota Fanning is precocious, wise, and nurtured. She is a child star for her generation- a generation that prides itself on its highly evolved attitude towards children and their influence and importance in the world. And "Christians" are pissed off about possible questionable treatment of this privileged, pampered, sheltered, warm, clean, fed child with a loving family and more money and security than the average bear? GIVE ME A STINKIN BREAK. In many countries (this one included) little girls have to prostitute themselves in order to eat. In many homes, little girls grow up thinking what is happening to them is normal... these little girls grow up broken and unable to fit into normal society. No self righteous do-gooder can call themselves a follower of Christ while turning a blind eye to the tragedies that are happening every minute while attacking a happy kid's mom about what stupid movie she lets her kid act in. Did Dakota feel she was violated in any way? No. End of story. Oh my gosh can we please all just chill? I am so disturbed at the lack of intelligence…no I take that back.

You gotta give it to those guys at Fox "News." They do know how to create the type of circus that'll keep their viewers enthralled. Otto, thanks for writing.

Sean Hannity is perhaps the best example, as last night he interviewed someone who saw the movie at its premiere at Sundance. I forget the lady's name, but I believe she is a conservative District Attorney, so Hannity was a bit surprised when she revealed that all the negative claims about Dakota's infamous rape scene simply aren't true. According to her, all we see is Dakota from her shoulders on up and the guy's arm. There is no touching, and the rape is actually achieved through editing tricks, and not on the set. But Hannity was not satisfied, claiming that what she saw was a "sanitized" version, and that he wanted to see everything that was left on the cutting room floor. Um, right, Sean. You haven't see the movie, you weren't involved in the editing process, you weren't involved in the production whatsoever, yet you somehow know what "really" went on. What a jackass.
