I get that. And while the ending is a gut-punch, I can picture pedophiles watching this and cheering at the end lol. I mean, the pedo does win at the end and he does so gleefully. Like dizzyingly gleeful. And we're seeing the whole thing through his eyes.
As for a child actors parents needing to be explained by a director how that scene would be shot -- I'm sure there's showbiz parents out there who wouldn't give a fuck. Yes, the logistics are up to the director but, in screenplay form, it's the writer's job to manipulate what we see and how we're seeing it.
I have a friend who's daughter is a child actor (well, she's an adult now) and they turned down a part in Shane Black's "The Nice Guys" (as Ryan Gosling's daughter) because he didn't want his daughter to be walking around a porn-sponsored party (in the movie) where there's topless women everywhere. And that was a big role that offered a lot of money. Just sayin...
I definitely understand what your saying, Dude. And you're not wrong. But, I've got to stay true to the stories that come to me. Even if that means I'm signing my own ticket to hell. lol
