Babies Movie May Violate Child Labor Laws, Critics Say
“Babies,” a documentary movie by Thomas Balmes, tells the tale of four little babies from four corners of the world. The film is without dialogue, but bouncy music scores the moments of these infants’ lives. “Babies” reviews have generally admitted that while the 80-minute Focus Features film is cute, it may be too simplistic. Cute little babies moving in time to music is the domain of 30-second commercials, not serious films. The “Babies” movie has been gaining less plot attention and more noise for claims that the product may have violated child labor laws (and may need payday lending to dig their way out from under a potential mountain of fines).
A ‘Babies’ movie that mishandles its babies?
USA Today reports that various sources are concerned over whether “Babies” subject Hattie (who lives in San Francisco) was dealt with in a way consistent with California law. In California, an infant that is to appear in a commercial film must be 15 days old or more, have a special doctor’s note and a variety of permits complete before filming can commence. They are only allowed on camera 20 minutes per day, and throughout that time a studio teacher and nurse (paid for by the film’s production company) must be present. This didn’t happen with Hattie in the “Babies” movie, claim critics.
Film producer said the same rules didn’t apply
The producer’s actual reason was much less standoffish. The subject infants in “Babies” were cast before they were born, said producer Amandine Billot to the Associated Press. Upon their entry into the outside world, said Billot, the kids were recorded “in their natural environments, like a wildlife film of human babies”. While no investigation has officially begun, the “Babies” movie team could face fines ranging from $ 50 to as much as $ 5,000 per incident if child labor experts decide to move forward.
So it’s California’s fault
California certainly needs money, so they could easily decide to go after the film. This is why Focus Features’ CEO James Schamus is ready to rumble. The “Babies” movie did not do this, he says; the allegations are “irresponsible conjectures,” as he told the AP. Schamus underscored that “the filmmakers more than adhered to both the letter and spirit of the law”.
Will you see the ‘Babies’ movie?
As you’ll recall, “Babies” isn’t all bad. You’ll want to “revel in the miracles, the radiant innocence and fun nature of babies. You won’t be able to leave the theater without feelings of warmth, happiness and delight,” writes Beliefnet.com. Just like Sandra Bullock, brining new “Babies” into your life is not a bad thing.
