[HPFGU-Movie] Re: POV: Dan, Dakota, and Morality

[Elvine Elvine]

I'm European, from Scandinavia. I read the messages about how 
"inappropriate" (seems to be a very popular word?) it would be for Dan to 
appear naked. And I realize, more and more, how different our cultures are 
even though we are also very much alike.

Steve, any one presenting views even close to yours *would* be considered a 
prude in every sense of the word here. Please note that I'm not saying that 
you are wrong, not in your cultural context. Most people wouldn't even begin 
to think that it might be "inappropriate" (a word very seldom used here, 
anyway) to appear naked on stage. The only way Dan might embarrass himself 
is, I think, if he's not up to the task. I understand it's a very demanding 
role. That's my one and only concern.

If he, in the meantime, manages to spread a little European tolerance to 
nakedness to his American fans, then all the better. I just don't see why 
any actor should base his choice of roles on how it might be perceived by 
other people, as long as she or he is all right with it her/himself. I'm 
sure many people in this world find it "inappropriate" that Emma Watson is 
even talking to boys when she's playing Hermione, to take it to the furthest 
extreme.

And no, a naked any-year-old would not be breaking any laws in this part of 
the world.

Christin
