Men, Women & Children Page #4

Synopsis: Men, Women and Children follows the story of a group of high school teenagers and their parents as they attempt to navigate the many ways the internet has changed their relationships, their communication, their self-image, and their love lives. The film attempts to stare down social issues such as video game culture, anorexia, infidelity, fame hunting, and the proliferation of illicit material on the internet. As each character and each relationship is tested, we are shown the variety of roads people choose - some tragic, some hopeful - as it becomes clear that no one is immune to this enormous social change that has come through our phones, our tablets, and our computers.

it's been rough on both of us.

I know you have no perspective,

fresh wounds and all, but

right now you can hit anything.

Yeah, well... I'm just not

in the hitting mood, you know.

Oof! What a waste.

Red, red, go, white, white!

White, white.

Go, red, red!

Red, white.

Cute.

Red, white, white,

all together, let's fight!

Go red, red...

God!

Hope you can make it, ma'am.

Ready? Hut.

Hey!

Hey, you were, uh... You were

pretty awesome out there.

- Thanks.

- You're cute, too.

Shouldn't have been that close.

All right, guys, hey.

Here we go.

What I want you to do

is look at this number

and tell me

what it means to you.

Yeah, go ahead.

It's the day

the terrorists attacked

the World Trade Center?

That's right, Regina.

Other than the attack

on Pearl Harbor,

it's the only time a foreign

force attacked anything

on U.S. soil.

So what I want you to do is,

I want you to pair off

and you're gonna find

someone to interview

that remembers that day.

All right, on Friday, we're

gonna give a presentation

on how that day

changed our country.

Allison Doss had

developed a crush

on Brandon Lender

in seventh grade.

It had been her greatest hope

that he would be her first kiss.

Brandon remained the object

of Allison's affection

despite having once said,

within earshot,

"I'd f*** her

if I could find the hole."

Mmm, watch me.

I can tease you right back.

Mmm.

Mmm...

Perky.

No tattoos.

P*ssy is...

So, Liz, I'm hoping

you got a chance to implement

some of the Internet

safety protocol

we talked about last week.

Um, yeah.

Uh, I think we're doing good.

I think my kids are safe.

So, you have all your

daughter's passwords?

Oh, hi.

Sorry to interrupt.

Uh, my name's Kent.

Is this about the video games

and stuff?

Oh, yeah, have a seat.

Hi, Kent. Welcome.

Donna, why don't you tell us

what brought you here tonight?

Thanks. Um, well,

my daughter is getting to an age

where she's starting to develop.

And, you know,

I was just wondering, um,

what the laws were about

what you can and can't

post on the Internet.

That's an excellent question.

Because in our state,

the laws are far more lenient

than they should be.

They are?

Yeah.

If someone is sending photos

to your daughter...

Well, um...

Yes, but I'm also

actually wondering about if...

If she were to send her own.

Like, if she were to take

a picture of herself

in a bathing suit

or underwear or, you know...

Oh, I see.

Donna, I know our kids aren't

thinking about their futures.

Hannah's very driven.

I bet she is.

Before you go, I want to

give you a pamphlet

about the dangers of selfies.

Great.

- Thanks, that's helpful.

- Okay.
