      - maybe we shouldn't trust that Wiki entry, trust Dano instead -- nm - mud Oct 16, 22:15 4
        
        I'm just reading the wiki entry now, but I was expecting much worse. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:19 3
        
        (Not that I would really recommend it or anything.) -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:26 2
        
        I can't imagine any redeeming aspect of it. A metaphor for the Serbian psyche and its angst? -- nm - mud Oct 16, 22:27 1
        
        What it is ostensibly "about" is how authoritarian powers can coerce and force people into committing atrocities. - Dano Oct 16, 23:02

      - It's just so ridiculous, it might as well be Satan anally raping someone with a baseball bat. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:05 10
        
        oh, that I'd pay to see - mud Oct 16, 22:11
        
        I actually haven't fully wrapped my head around why this movie is even legal to screen. - TFox Oct 16, 22:09 8
        
        Because none of it actually happens? -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:12 7
        
        The Simpsons don't exist in real life either. I think the law is fairly clear on that point. -- nm - TFox Oct 16, 22:12 6
        
        The law does include the phrase "...and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value" because of Supreme Court rulings. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:18 5
        
        right, which is why i assume they focus on "the really important allegory" hidden in there in Q&As. - TFox Oct 16, 22:23 4
        
        (just to clarify a bit: let's say the film as a whole is kosher legally...) - TFox Oct 16, 22:30 2
        
        The only thing I will say is that the allegory is explicitly stated several times by a character in the film. It's not subtle. - Dano Oct 16, 22:47 1
        
        the simpsons porn is illegal in some states as some states call depictions of children engaged in sex,even simulated, even obvious cut and paste kids - zeitgeist Oct 16, 22:55
        
        The allegory is not hidden. Characters in the film explicitly make the connection. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 22:29
