the-curious-sofa: [Lolita] makes you uncomfortable. And the reason it makes you uncomfortable - especially men - is that we don’t paint Humbert the protagonist as being a bad man. He’s an ordinary guy. He’s pathetic. He’s sometimes funny. He’s sometimes charming. He’s like all of us. He has, you know, all those bits that we all have. I would say to anybody going to see any piece of art: Open up to it. See what it gives you. Discuss it afterwards. And maybe even let your kids see it. If they’re sort of 15, you know, that sort of age. It’s a very interesting subject. And it’s not a subject we should put under the mat. It’s a subject we should talk about.  Jeremy Irons (The Today Show, 1998) (via TumbleOn) -- source link
