My wife drug us all out to see the sad 1990’s film including my toddler son and young daughters eight and nine years old.
Adultery and nudity. I actually closed my eyes when Kate Winslet was naked because I was ashamed to be seeing it with my family.
Naked people in movies may not be a problem for many of us but for some it always brings out bad thoughts and actions.
I remember once telling a guy who decided to give up drinking not to sell his alcohol to other people because it may hurt them or someone else because they drank it.
For some people, nudity in the movies is art, but for others its a stimulus for little things like masturbation but even worse things like hurting other people.
That’s why such matters need to be handled carefully.
Its not so much how it affects us, its about how it affects others.
In the old days movies were made with how these things might affect the audience in their minds.
It's hard to find a good movie with good morals...
August Rush..is one of the better movies, although the premise is what happens after a one night stand .... there is NO nudity.
JUNO..is one of the better movies...although again it highlights the consequences of a one time sexual encounter...
...and I found it a life affirming cautionary tale.
I actually wondered during the wraparound segments what the research guys must’ve thought when they looked at this wrinkled, old 100-year-old lady while thinking, “there was a naked picture of her in the vault ...”
I didn’t like it at all, despite it being THE chick flick for girls my age, but that’s probably mainly due to my general dislike of chick flicks and my even greater dislike of sad-ending chick flicks (with the exception of Moulin Rouge).
