Sometimes I think that people(especially people who write reviews of movies)either forget that it's just a movie, or are reviewing based on their feelings toward the characters and subject matter. Hounddog is not a masterpiece, sure. But it's not unwatchable. At least the music is good, unlike similar movies that have a strong musical theme. Elvis is the worst music in the movie! But once again, Americans show by their reaction to this movie that violence is still a more acceptable theme than sexuality, and that rape is still not considered a violent assault, but an unwanted sexual encounter(I had forgotten about the controversy, even while watching the movie, I guess because I didn't see as sexual at all). Dakota Fanning is very sensual in this movie though, which I'm sure makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. My biggest complaint about this movie is that it's somewhat vague, until the part where they force resolve on us like a 1/2 hour sitcom. I think it's still worth watching though.
