Hey guys, look, Hollywood is testing the innocence of 12-year-olds in the upcoming film Cocaine Bear.
Yes, there is an actual movie called Cocaine Bear, and its super loosely based on the real story of a bear that ate a packet of cocaine that killed it.
Hardcore leftist Director Elizabeth Banks wasn't just content to have a gory film about a super-strength bear on crack. Nope, she wanted to make sure the kids in the movie did crack too!
[Banks] discussed her decision to include the scene during an interview with Variety, admitting it was "controversial" yet necessary for the script.
"It was definitely controversial. There were conversations about, ‘should we age up these characters?' We all kind of held hands and we were like, ‘Guys, they've got to be 12.' It's their innocence being tested," she said. "That's what was interesting to me about that scene."
"It's their innocence being tested."
Now if that doesn't surprise you — the fact that Hollywood would test the innocence of 12-year-olds — then you've probably been paying attention to the downward spiral of our culture like I have.
This is no surprise. In fact, it's something I truly expected from Hollywood. More often than not, their idea of art seems to be aimed at treating young children as if they're ready to make adult decisions. This time it'll be drugs. Next time it'll be something worse. They just like to push the envelope.
The producer had this to say of the scene:
Producer Christopher Miller agreed, saying their inclusion of 12-year-olds was intentional,
"It's the naïveté of the kids that makes it okay. It's what makes it so tense and funny. It doesn't work if they're teenagers," he said. "It has to be that age where you don't know anything, but you want to pretend like you do."
