Was the little boy sex play in 'mid90s' legal?

[Gizmo j]

I just watched mid90s and there was a scene where a 13 year old(looks 10) is making out and taking off the clothes of a 24 year old alexa demie. It happens about 48 minutes into the movie.

This was not okay with me.

Was the boy doing anything more besides taking the woman's clothing off?

They were making out pretty hard.

They were making out pretty hard.

Called my prevented, but now I want to see the scene so I can make my own judgement.

@Gizmoj Still there?

Sounds like you are jealous.

If you have not been watching the news from the past decade or so this is how the public education system works now also.

From the picture she looks closer to 15 then 24.

Isn't the bigger question here why did you watch this movie?

It happens about 48 minutes into the movie.

What a stupid name for a movie.

Murder, even the mass murder of innocent people, isn't legal and yet it is portrayed in movies. Are you ok with that? Or is this entire thread just you concern trolling?

Sounds like he is concern trolling. However I will have to see the scene in question. Damn you @Gizmo j for mentioning this subject, as now I want to see the movie. I would have never heard of this movie if it wasn't for this thread.

Reminds me of the Film Tin Drum. A Small group of people made a big uproar back in the late 90's about this movie.

I'mm'a assume the studio legal people approved it, so probably not illegal, no.

I'm only watching this because Jonah Hill directed it.

I would have to rent the movie to see it. Other the the scene which you find to be upsetting, is the movie otherwise worth watching?
