It's just like the book Lolita by Nabokov.Its considered a contemporary classic among literature,but personally I think its trash

I loved it and i own it. It left me with a deep sense of sadness and loss. It was a magical summer--and I so wanted there to be a Summer of 43 that picked up where it left off- But the film says that never was. There was a sweet sexiness to it, but also a charm and a romance that was perfect for the time.

@bijouxbroussard yes, it was a different time then, a different culture. The movie doesn’t portray the boy as a victim in any way, and the woman is a sympathetic figure because she’s just lost her husband. But if the genders were reversed, I suspect we wouldn’t give a man a pass on this.

@bijouxbroussard I was reading on Wikipedia that the book and movie are based on the author’s incident when 14, except that his did not go all the way to sex.

@SW-User Personally, I don’t think adults should prey on children, regardless of gender. And emotionally, many 15 year olds are still children.
