Mine is August Rush, it’s so cheesy and I know it’s terrible but I’ve watched it a bunch of times.

    I love this movie and I have never seen any of it as being pedo. I have always felt that love being expressed in was between 2 abused people finding a kinship and love that they had both always been denied. It’s about a child who loves and adores her savior and first person to ever be a parental figure. Someone who literally goes on a massive killing spree and gives up his own life to save her. And it’s about someone who has been isolated and unloved his entire life suddenly finding his first real friendship and first real experience of someone loving him with no reservations, expectations, or demands. The type of love that only an innocent child can express towards a parent or caretaker. The movie does this amazing job of framing the development of this beautiful and deep kinship inside of an incredibly violent action movie. I adore this movie and the amazing acting and directing that went into it. I really wish that the director wasn’t a complete and certified pedo, but I think that it’s entirely possible that everyone came together and made this a beautiful movie despite, and even in spite of, the director being a pedo.
