The movies had a different sense and feel to them as they almost portrayed Dolores as a femme fatale young seductress.
The Sue Lyon movie was a huge rewrite and left out the parts that showed that Humbert was a creepy pedo through his whole life and became a teacher so he could groom young girls.
The 1997 book really focused on Dominique Swain as an overly sexualized seductress.
I read Lolita as part of a reading assignment in University and nowhere did I see it as true Pedo positive if that's a term or pedo porn.

Scar face ends with the main character massively addicted to cocaine, abandoned by everyone who ever loved him and brutally murdered by his enemies. The average person feels no compulsion to enter the cocaine trade from watching it, but its been idolized in gang banger culture for decades. People tend to find what they are looking for.
