replies: text: Hi.  Of course there is no CSA, but there is a clear pedophile attraction both in the novella and the film Tony 14:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Tadzio represents beauty and death and his mother is the mother of beauty and death. I wish people were not so darn literal. --24.251.17.123 (talk) 02:09, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We should consider ourselves lucky that this marvellous film has not been labelled as "encouraging pedophilia", or some such politically correct puritanical rubbish, and banned. Don't laugh, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already. I doubt Death In Venice could be made at all today, at least in any form dealing with this realistically.  If it was re-made now, Tadzio would have to be played by a hirsute 30yo wrestler in a wet suit.  Only then would those erotically-charged shots of Tadzio be politically acceptable.  This is what we have become. 173.195.2.125 (talk) 22:33, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

text: What they did was wrong but he was 15 or 16 when the movie was made. You are cheapening "paedophilia" by claiming the attraction to a young adult is so; it isn't. Grooming and molestation (not an non-acted upon attraction) is wrong but actual paedophilia is more horrifying by its nature and not at all natural, biologically speaking. At least Andresen is physically capable of producing offspring, eight year old boys are not. There lies the rub. 195.213.86.76 (talk) 08:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: What the actual fuck. That is still pedophilia. It is messed up that this book is exalted as high art. It is not. At least the old creepy man in Lolita knows he's creepy. And Thomas Mann's diary details he had a physical attraction to his son when he was 11 years old. Why are we defending this clearly depraved author? 2601:2C1:C100:ED00:9568:4A74:4017:9F31 (talk) 00:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
