Implications of an unplanned conceived Life, at age 21 - Porkchop
NAILED (2001), with Harvey Keitel, and Brad Rowe (suggesting Rob
Lowe, if you are dyslexic, the latter who is reminiscent of a young
Rob Lowe, too).
Here, there's a central moral dilemma taking place, which are the
potentially immense implications of a pregnancy, to a man or woman
when it occurs at age 21. It results in the need to choose between
sustaining the eventual life or ordering an abortion. As well, the
phenomenal emotional impact on parents, brothers and sisters is also
shown when the decision is made, particularly when it requires

and the clan having great career and financial expectations for the
progenitor.
Keitel demonstrates an ease in attaining an expected high
professional acting standard. Rowe as well as Rachel Blanchard are
credible as the couple, bringing plenty of realism.
A number of elements will have much of the audience sympathizing,
namely, Keitel's marriage that itself comprises the Talmud and
Christian faiths, normally strictly off-limits.
The movie also carries a Pro-Life message, even in the context
explained above, which is a superficial 2 week relationship based on
the mutual exploration of libidos, the characters showing simpleto, dialogues and views of life.
The soundtrack shows taste and professionalism,
with a cover of "California Dreaming".
The rush in prejudging people and sizing them up is shown when
Blanchard's character is rejected by Rowe's family in unison.
Finally, it brings into focus the opposing viewpoints of some women
and entire families who treat abortion lightly, even undergoing the
procedure multiple times in their lives, without giving it a second
thought, juxtaposed with simpleton young men and women, who don't
think strategically, not making social, economic, career
calculations, not allowing those aspects to dominate their h
