Viva Lolita

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!
