This was some art work I made for class a while ago. Don't mock me, I know I missed somethign but I can't find the original file to make the correction. }-P
Lolita is truly is a controversial gem. Both the book and the films still continue to push boundaries. Lolita blurs the line between victim and exploiter in the relationship of Humbert and Dolores. Observers are left questioning their perspective once the book/movie is over.
If you're going to watch the movie, I would recommend the original. I feel as the Sue Lyon's depiction is more true to the original story. Dominique Swan just doesn't do it for me. Her version may seem more current yet I don't believe her sexual allure was delivered as gracefully.However, I do thoroughly enjoy Jeremy Irons portrayal of Humbert Humbert. I sometimes question his draw to such a storyline. {mainly because he just recently did a storyline on SUV about a sexoholic psychologist who may or may not have raped his daughter during one of his blackout benders (he didn't!)} Maybe he just likes to explore that Freudian concept of sexual development. Who the hell knows! Well enough of me boring you to death!
