Poll Suggestion: Couples with Huge Age Difference

What the hell?! I don't even remember what the above response post by me previously contained (prior to the forum software migration) or was supposed to contain. I don't how I had the technical capacity to create a blank post, so I presume that the content became redacted in the changeover process.

Thanks! Did I put the right option?

Yeah, you did!  Thanks!  :)

NarniaisAwesome. good suggestion, it took me a while to pick up where you were going with it? One of my favorite movies of 2015.Paok-Kilkis, Are we talking about The Age of Adaline actor's (6 years) age difference or character's (107 - 34 estimated = 73 years) chronological age difference? How would determine character ages on the other options? I had to guess Ellis Jones's age, but Adaline Bowman's chronological age is well discussed in the movie. As well as, noting Adaline stayed physically 29 years old, which gets back to the couple being about five years apart physically. Which of these couples with huge age difference is your favorite?

It's about the age difference of the characters not the real life age differences of the actors. In most cases the age difference is not specifically stated in the movie but it is suggested that the characters have a substantial age difference.

I thought about adding the ages differences but in most cases the ages of the characters are not stated in the movie specifically. It's just the context provided by the movie, that the two characters have an substantial age difference.

Any of the options suggested by urbanemovies feets this poll much more than all the fantasy world remedies:The Lord of the Rings (2001)Twilight (2008)The Age of Adaline (2015)Benjamin Button (2008)

I retract my "Are Harold and Maude really a couple?" comment. Harold and Maude should be included in the poll answer options.

The poll is about the age difference of the characters not the real life age differences of the actors.

Hi, MAthePA. I recommend that relationships involving minors be omitted from this list.

Hi, Jeorj Euler. Thanks but your suggestion should be addressed to Paok-Kilkis, since it's him who included The Reader and Harold and Maude in the initial poll. My suggestions are based on them being in the frame. If you asked me is it correct to include the named movies in polls at all, I'd have the further question: "Why not?"

Harold is not a minor. I'm not sure about Michael.

Well, now I understand you mean "person under legal age of maturity" (minor). Yes, Harold is not minor when the relationship developed in the movie. Michael, as well as Stig (below suggested in All Things Fair) are schoolboys. It is hard to understand their "legal age of maturity" since we don't know the frames of laws set in the movies. Should they be at least 16 for legal maturity?Dominique Swain was 16-17 years old when starring as Lolita. If we consider her character's age, it was 14 according to Nabokov. So, she is under "legal age of maturity". But if you mean that "Lolita" describes pedophilia, no.

I had in mind the age of majority.

"Age of majority" may vary for different epochs and countries: 16, 18, 21... Which one is set in each movie? We may be sure only for one same reason: Lolita, Michael, Stig are, and Harold seems also to be under 21. P-K may be suggested to exclude them to avoid misunderstandings. But if P-K is going to show "tо love all ages yield surrender", I see nothing to stop their inclusion. Again, if your hesitation is about pedophilia, that one is closer and included in this list.

I've not previously made a reference to pedophilia, hebephilia or ephebophilia, but the all are delicate subject areas even if the latter is not as problematic as the former. When I think of Lolita, I usually think of the interpretation of the source material.

I've got your idea.Paok-Kilkis, please do not take seriously two of my suggestions: Lolita and All Things Fair. Thank you for understanding.

The poll is about the age difference of the characters not the real life age differences of the actors.

Added, thanks!

Were the graduate and Mrs Robinson "a couple"?
