Well since the subject of being desensitised was brought up with the last post.
I happen to agree with Christina's comment of AP being to tame,at least by NC-17 standards whcih it didn't deserve.
I find it funny that people think AP is very gross & outragous...while it may have a few scenes....it is a much more mature & serious(plays more like a drama than comedy) film than people give it credit for.
Only people who live in the dark ages & pc crazy will find the film offensive & gross......& completly miss the message behind it all.......that sex isn't everything & isn't much,unless you actually love the person.
My Dad took me to see the film in theaters(i was 19) since he liked the movie + actually got the message & was suprised himself as everyone kept making it sound like a very raunchy sex comedy.
For an even better comparison + to show i'm not desenitezed,just open minded.......Porky's is still a shockingly raunchy film & much funnier than AP + really frank in it's language that i'm sure if released today the current R rated film would get an NC-17,because people are becoming to conservative,boring & don't know how to have fun + keep looking at sex as bad.
But most of all.......both films are meant to be fun & entertaining,not deep social comments ect & they deliver just that...though AP does so in a more mature,slightly less fun way....but is still a pretty good film.
I have'nt seen the sequel yet...since i didn't have time to catch it in theaters & just bought the unrated dvd(WS version of course) today & hopefully it'll be as good if not better film than the first.
I don't have a problem with sex/nudity in films because i'm open minded & don't look at it as bad......i find it funny & offensive that most people worry so much about sex on screen,than violence which is acceptable for some odd reason. I'm not for censorship & don't mind violence in film,but still get shocked by some things shown ect...yet more people are more upset about love,than human suffering?
As with my veiws on a sex & seeing 'to" much to care.....I'm the same way with movie violence as well.....while i've seen plenty of violent films, i have'nt become de-sensitzed & such films as.......
The New York Ripper
Nightmare
Natural Born Killers
Jason Goes To Hell
True Romance
I Spit on Your Grave
Taxi Driver
Maniac
The Evil Dead
& so forth are still extrmely shocking & have scenes hard for me to watch without getting alittle upset & having to shut my eyes ect.
note---the above films should all be seen in Unrated form(except Taxi Driver)..to get the full impact & reaction from me....the censored versions are/or would be rather tame...and the first two films mentioned are'nt good at all,though still shockingly unpleasent.
