[Borges]

wonderful classics containing rape, gross violence, prostitution, and drugs. I'd say you've chosen three films that well represent Hollywood.

Just some of the most admired works of recent American popular art. If you think that merely content is enough to dismiss outright then let me describe for you something that has bodily mutilation, cross-dressing, rape, brutal murder and almost non stop vulgarity as well...the latest Hollywood movie? No it's actually much of Shakespeare and Greek tragedy.

Recent American popular art, well if you say so. I took "Theater Appreciation" too! Just don't get the cart before the horse there B. Shakespear and Sophocles had their rape, bloodshed, and mutliations occur off stage and out of sight. It wasn't splashed on the screen, over and over and over again.
