"This book would probably be shunned today. Even though Humbert Humbert is clearly a villain, the very subject of pedophilia is now considered too transgressive. But Nabokov had to reach far in order to redeem the romantic novel, which had become trite."

I could not finish this book. I hated everyone except the dog. I found the casual talk of rape and pedophilia disgusting. Even the consensual sex acts often started with the protagonist peeping on an unknowing female lead. I understand that it is horror but it wasn't scary to me. There was no suspense, no chills, no one I wanted to remain unscathed from the mysteries of the canyon.

Disgusting for the sake of being disgusting...but don't even bother with his one.
Seriously don't even bother with this one it is always on every to hard to watch movie list out there and it, while it is hard to watch it only is because I'm at least a halfway decent human being and while I've watched so fucked up things I draw the line at using pedophilia as a means to shock an audience, plus the acting is terrible and there really isn't even a plot.

I had heard about this on the Ray Peacock podcast. It just sounds awful for no other reason than to be awful and get people talking about how awful it is, which we are doing. Dammit.

"It’s German expressionist film directed by Fritz Lang that broached pedophilia. Peter Lorre played a crazed madman who killed and molested children and all kinds of other stuff, and there was a child playing with a ball in one scene when she meets Lorre’s character. Even more horrific than anything else after she disappears, the camera shows the ball rolling down a hill until it finally stops moving. Your mind takes over, and does much more horrific things then the screen can. I think being obvious and throwing blood and guts at the screen is stupid.”
