The filmakers must not view sex and death in the same light.

[End Times Sentinel]

In the hopes of helping to raise the level of discourse on what could become a rather low brow thread, I’ll just comment that “I’d hit it”.

[laweeks]

I’d have to see what Kate has to offer before rendering my opinion . . . and my first guess is that it’s a lot . . . probably will wait till the DVD release and then watch it with the sound off. She’s a charmer.

[Petronski]

Rosenbaum rightly objects to the portrayal of an Auschwitz camp guard as an innocent victim of the Holocaust.

The Reader doesn't do that.

It portrays her war-crimes trial, at which she readily and bluntly admits to her crimes. How anyone finds an "innocent victim" in that is beyond me.

[Petronski]

Schmitz's now adult ex-lover delivers the money saved by Schmitz in prison to the survivor who testified against her at her trial.

NO. Not the survivor. The survivor's daughter.

[neocon1984]

I don’t think you saw the same movie as Petronski.

[Petronski]

Ooops. Mother and daughter were both survivors. My bad.

[PfromHoGro]

Note since the shower scene in Twister...

[Cedar]

Someone else here referred to it as soft porn. Too bad Hollywood has to depend on sex to sell a movie, especially with a great actress as Kate.

Also, too bad she will regret it years from now when her children see Mommy’s naked body sold out to Hollywood (while Daddy directed the whole event).

Kate’s one of the top actresses in the industry. She didn’t have to sink so low.

Follywood reeks with the putrid odor of godless souls destined for Hell. No decent person is entertained by viewing depravity, much less enabling evil by paying for it.

[lewisglad]

I need more visual evidence to determine how offended I should be.

[ontap]

How long before this gets to the dollar movie?

[Mike Darancette]

In real life there is no “bad” excuse for sex.

[Hacklehead]

“The Oscar for worst excuse for sex in a film...”

My nomination goes to the gratutiuous and completely out of place bedroom scene in “Kindergarden Cop”

[BenLurkin]

Any decent person who understands what is going on would be disgusted by the film several times over.

As with most of what Hollyweird sells -- junk that is too juvenile for adults and too graphic for children.

[BBell]

What bothers me about a lot of movies I have watched is that they are very good movies which I would like to watch with my kids but I can't because of the unneeded obligatory nudity and sex scenes

[steve-b]

"I mean, I don't think we need another film about the Holocaust, do we? It's like, how many have there been? No, we get it, it was grim, move on. No, I'm doing this because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, guaranteed an Oscar. I've been nominated four times. Never won. The whole world is going, 'Why hasn't Winslet won one?'... That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody List. The Pianist. Oscars coming out of their arse."
--Kate Winslet, Extras

[colorado tanker]

She's done several sim-sex scenes. Seems to be getting her parts.

[RichInOC]

It’s very simple, really. I think we all agree that between seeing Kate Winslet naked and seeing Kate Winslet dead...live naked Kate wins every time.
