Rassum, Frassum Stupid Star Wars Revisionist? History
For reasons that don't need explaining here, I was looking up how long it was in movie time between The Phantom Menace and Attack of Clones. My memory of the movies was that it was something like six or seven years, which would have made Anakin about 16 or 17 and Padme about 21 or 22 (close the Natalie Portman's actual age during filming). According to the official site, it's 10 years between the first two films, making Anakin 20 and Padme 24, almost 25 - aka old enough to know better.
Even keeping in mind that Attack of the Clones was a poorly conceived, logic-free, soulless exercise in technical film-making (lovely blue screen work George, would be so lovely if you'd remember to include characterization and plot and oh, acting in your next film - oh, wait. Never. Mind.), what of the movie actually hung together in my mind did so because I believe the characters to be just young enough not to realized how entirely fucking assheaded their actions were.
I didn't realize that the movie could actually get worse in retrospect that it already was! Ptui!
