Thoughts about teh movie "Big"
with Tom Hanks, not Peter North
Ok I was watching this movie the other night, I've seen it before but when I was a kid. But you know something really bothered me about this. Ok Tom Hanks is a 13 year old. He makes a wish becomes a man in his 30s. He has sex with his co-worker who is in her 30s. Now in reality he's still a 13 year old boy who had sex with an older woman. I can't believe they would release a movie like this with only a PG rating. This is a story of child molestation of an older woman named Susan played by Elizabeth Perkins.

Either the people that censor this crap, or handle the rating system are all men.. (after all, what self respecting, 2 ball toting man would oppose being 13 and sleeping with a hot 30 something year old woman (or man, depending on what floats your boat) ??) or, this whole rating system thing wasn't as much as an issue back then. Kind of like unprotected sex in the pshycadelic 60's "GroOOoovy baby, yeah"... Anyway, I doubt parents were as concerned about this sort of stuff back then as they are now..
