[edit] Big John as Pedophile

Some of the reviews of the movie that describes Big John as a pedophile

[edit] Big John is obviously a pedophile

=The missing gun would seem to be the one with which Big John is murdered by Scott=

It isn't in Gary's room. In the scuffle at the burglary Scott would have had opportunity to steal it.

=This is an important film. Not just a NAMBLA-member's wet-dream=

I am disappointed the director concentrates on the pedophilia. While its inseperable from the plot and drives it, loss and abandonment, the search for meaning in human relationships and the isolation imposed by post-modern media-culture are the real point of the film.

Howie and John are so similar intellectually and emotionally. The ugliness of John's pederasty and all around tragedy for the characters is mitigated by the honesty and compassion Howie and John show each other. They are the only two living characters in L.I.E. who are honest with themselves and each other. 24.158.40.160 (talk) 12:50, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
