Yes, as someone wrote, Casablanca would have been a great movie, if it had only had a nude sex scene. Sex scenes are SO necessary to great drama. Too bad Shakespeare left out the sex scenes. His plays might have amounted to something

Shakespeare had lots of sex, my friend.

When Romeo goes off into a lengthy description of Juliette’s ear, he could only have done it from up very close, as in ... well ... slaking.

Some recent Shakespeare-based movies have added sex, on the grounds that any time there’s no dialogue the action is up to the director. Obviously, that’s also how you get a battle in.

I think that the idea that the characters had sex can be implied without showing a few seconds of their pretending to do it.

Exactly. Did anyone see Casablanca and not know Ingrid and Humphrey must have hooked up back in Paris? Anyone??? And yet we never had to see them huffing and moaning and slapping bodies.

Well, Casablanca needs to be colorized, don’t forget. Digitally enhanced with scenes in color AND recast with people of color.

But yeah, a sex scene and some hip hop and dubstep-EDM to sell it to the hip young audiences.
