Perhaps the thread is old. I am behind on my LN digests due to vacation. But
I thought this worth sharing. In the February issue of St. Anthony
Messenger, on the letters to the editor page, is a very interesting
exchange. A reader was incensed by the review of the movie "Millions" as a
family-friendly movie due to a scene with a teen bringing up a pornography
website. The reviewer, a nun, disagreed with her and explained her
reasoning. The scene concerns two brothers, whose mother had died several
years earlier. The 7 year-old was too young at the time of her death to
remember his mother, and is still trying to come to terms with this. The
teen did in fact bring a porn site on to his screen, showing breasts (in a
bra). His 7 year old brother saw the picture, and asked "What are those, and
what are they for?" The brother told him they were breasts, and they were
for feeding babies, whereupon, the younger brother asked "Did my mom feed me
that way?" Upon finding out that she indeed breastfed him, he was very
comforted to realize she had used her very own body to show her love for
him. And this was why the nun decided to rate it as family friendly.
