  "account": "A scene in the film Bucking Fastard, starring Orlando Bloom, is drawing criticism from viewers. The German director Werner Herzog's film features Bloom's character engaging in a threesome with two actors, Rooney and Kate Mara, who are real-life sisters. The story is based on the lives of twins Freda and Greta Chaplin, known for their inseparability and identical behavior. Bloom described the scene as sincere and innocent, while Herzog stated it was beautiful for its charm and depth. Despite this, the scene has been condemned online, with some calling it incestuous and inappropriate. Despite the backlash, the film premiered at the 83rd Venice Film Festival without a theatrical release date.",
