Try watching any movie from the 80s that’s wasn’t rated ‘G’ (general audiences) and they all had nudity and/or sex scenes.
Okay not all, but the exceptions were rare. I think the screen plays were all made ala carte and they almost always picked every items; sex scene, car chase, shoot out, fist fight, tearful confession, etc. etc. It was formulaic!
I think plots and screen plays got more sophisticated after the 90s, as long as they weren’t action movies driven by special effects. Then they were even more formulaic and predictable.
I think most Americans do not have puritanical views of the human body, although most think children should be sheltered from sexualized nutidty. The strange phenomenon that seems so ironic is that the feminist agenda on social issues are strangely cross sectional with the old social conservatives. Issues like nudity of film, or girls being pressured into sex, were once more in the social political mantle of the dan quayle ‘family values’ camp.
Exactly. And they twist themselves into pretzels trying to describe how a man should respectfully work and socialize with female employees AND still condemn Mike Pence for following their advice.
