Whose's "Lust and Caution" should it be?

The Golden Horse Prize finally announced the director Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" won the best movie, best director, best actor and actress and other shortlisted 11 awards, there is no doubt that it is a great success for a movie like this. The sex scenes in the film left us a deep impression, and everyone is talking about it. But recently there is a set of photos being so hit on the internet- it is two children modifying the sex scenes in the film just in a corner of a residence block! In this the social environment of "no sex no show", we should really rethink about these adult films' influences on the innocent children. But what I am curious is, how can this movie affect the children? How can the children get access to this?

The two little children are kissing and touching each other in the joints and their behaviors are similar to some of the "indecent" scenes in "Lust and Caution". Being shocked, my heart is filled with misery. The children is growing without an ability of telling bad from good. Imitating is their nature. Whether their physical and mental growth is healthy or not is greatly depended on the things they imitate. When those sexy, violent, bloody scenes are filling the TVs, movies and the net, the general public, the media and the parents should act responsibly to protect the children from getting access to them. The innocent children should not be allowed to be injured. But nowadays, there are lots of film makers and media writers, who has been totally blinded by greedy minds, go crazy about the so-called "market-oriented pursuit", not even giving a little bit space to the children for their healthy growth but dragging them to muddy water. I think it is not only the children's tragedy, but also the whole society's.

Apart from analysing these photos are true or faked and whether they are made for fun or speculation, I think the one who took these photographs and openly displayed them on the internet is a shameless person. Why don't you put up a filming location, time and also your names and contact telephone number as someone offering 500,000 yuan to realize their "becoming famous overnight" dreams in the Spring Festival Party? This is obviously a despicable behavior hurting children, and what's more, it is possible directed by someone! Where is your moral conscience?!

We can't blame the children. What do you suppose that these two little children know? Is it every child's nature to satisfy their curiosity, to explore and they are good at imitating. The problem is, parents are the child's first teachers. In this situation, I can't help asking: where is our family education? Schools are bases for children's knowledge seeking. In this situation, I can't help asking: where is the school eduation? Society is the environment for the children's development. In this situation, I can't help asking: where is the social moral sense?

I have so many questions in my minds and I can't find the answers.

Children are the future of a country. No matter how we struggle in the madding society, how numbe we are in such a material world and how frustrated we are, please, just leave some space to let our children grow up happily and healthily!
