10 years later Summer of '42 was released and everyone was cheering on the young teen to have sex with someone far older because...
wait for it...
It was a dude.
Nobody batted an eye with Summer of '42 (well, the young man is just entering manhood ol chap, jolly good.)

It's a story.
Obviously you are referencing the original, but I actually think the 1997 version is better.

A lot more going on there than just the reversal of the sexes. It's an innocent kid who has a crush on a decent adult who turns to one off sex with him due to a tragedy.
A bad thing, but way different than a temptress teen who uses the adult predators who are circling her for the kill.

Right. It is not about glamorizing it whatsoever.
I'm really going off by more of the 1997 version, because I don't recall the original quite as well.. but it is done in a reflective manner if that can make sense. It is a doomed, inappropriate romance.
I just prefer the way the timeline is done in the 1997 version. It definitely doesn't have the silliness of the opening scene of the original though.

You should check out Pretty Baby and Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Those are two other " French " movies that will titilize the DiamondDog.

Damn, I didn't realize the Novel has been the subject of two Operas, two ballets and a Broadway musical.
Talk about flipping the narrative from filthy pornography as the Sunday Express described it to utterly mainstream.

The Sunday Express was/is a shitty tabloid occasionally accused of publishing hate speech throughout the years. We probably shouldn't (and people definitely didn't) let them be our taste-makers.

One of the things I like about the original is how Humbert realizes she is just a bratty teenager and they have nothing in common. Its on Netflix now if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

Found that randomly on cable one night and stopped to watch because it was set in old New Orleans or whatever. Ended up having a surprise crank to Susan Sarandon's big naturals.
The Brook Shields part later was weird and uncomfortable.

I knew the guy who wrote the historical book on Storyville that the film was based on. He hated the movie, not only for the focus on pedophilia but also because they got the history wrong.

I had a thing for Anne Bancroft back in the day. She just did it for me.

Read Lolita in college. Last semester for me before graduation. We watched the film too.

Are you talking about the Kubrick version or Adrian Lyme version? Because the actress who played Lolita in the Kubrick version had that Millie Bobbie Brown thing going on where she looked like she was in her early twenties. She did not look underage at all. The Jeremy Irons version was a lot creepier because the Lolita actress looked like a little girl.

When you watch this film?
Do you see Dominque Swain as innocent?
Or Jermey Irons as the Villian?
