Dakota Fanning’s controversial, and long delayed movie Hounddog hits theaters this weekend, and to promote it they’ve released a new poster. The one sheet, which you can see in high-res by clicking on the smaller version below, pictures Dakota staring straight into the camera and doing her best impression of a rape victim. Which of course, she is, at least in the film.
Whether it was appropriate for a kid to act out a rape scene, is another thing entirely. But here she is, acting out the aftermath in a movie poster. Dakota Fanning looking raped. Gee, now that’s a poster that makes me want to buy a ticket. (Note: sarcasm indicated)

I dont care what people say about how "professional" she is and how "grown-up" she is, Dakota Fanning is still a child, and should not have ever been allowed to make this film, or at least depict this scene (most movies get by with such things being implied, not shown).
Dontr get me wrong here, im young and liberal, but this draws a line.
I hope she doesnt end up very disturbed because of actions like this.
I saw this movie and I really don't think Dakota will be disturbed by what she did.
Not because she's grown up or anything-you're right she's still only 14 but the way it was shot was so that what she did was not disturbing at all
It was shot in a way that it couldn't hurt her
I thought the movie was great and anyone not sure if they want to see it (like i was) should go and see it. You'll be pleasantly surprised
