this is an extremely reactionary and anti-art and anti-human stance, that the only thing sex is is hardcore porn
I have never seen a tasteful or meaningful sex scene in a movie. It always comes off as soft-core randomly inserted into the movie.
you've never watched Cronenberg or Verhoeven or City of God?
Anyway, that's fine. Watch PG movies for babies and Marvel slop. It's sexless and made just for you. Stop trying to take sex out of art
A couple dozen exceptions doesn't change my point. The vast majority of sex scenes in film are gratuitous fan-service for bazinga brains. A couple high culture directors making tasteful scenes doesn't negate that.
If every movie had a hamfisted shitting scene a couple directors making emotional scenes about how being constipated is a metaphor for impotent masculinity wouldn't make the other shitting scenes justified.
Yes it does. Keep your moralistic grubby mitts off my "high culture directors", I don’t trust your taste or judgment of what is “high culture” and don’t recognize your authority over what I and artists are allowed
Many people in this very thread are asking cronenberg not to do sex scenes and saying there are 0 “valid” sex scenes in all of film and cinema, that all sexual content should be prohibited
I feel like you live in a different whacko world universe than me where Hollywood blockbusters still have sex scenes in 2023. It’s been more than a decade since there’s been any “titillation” scenes in mainstream movies. Movies need more sex and life, not less. There was a brief period from the 70s to the 90s where sex in movies was somewhat common, and it’s not a coincidence that most of the best films of history arose from this period after censorship had been loosened but before profit had fallen and monopolization taken hold, stagnating the industry.
Oppenheimer had a scene where he reads from the Bhagavad Gita while fucking and it was the lamest thing I have ever witnessed. I did not want to see every one of florence ough's ass pores projected on a 7 story imax screen. Makes me so fucking glad Anglos can't read my religion's holy texts.
that is not what I meant to imply but I understand how it came across that way, it wasn't the most well-articulated comment. I want to clarify that I'm not saying it's a good thing that our culture is becoming more porno-brained & I'm not personally against sex scenes in media.
most porn isn't a good representation of sex but neither is most of what we see in movies/TV, where sex is so often used for little reason other than to scintillate the audience, i.e. its just porn-lite. hollywood depictions of conventionally attractive people having heterosexual intercourse was perhaps always boring, but it's especially boring to younger generations who grew up in a more overtly sexualized culture with easy access to pornography.
And I wasn't only talking about hardcore porn by the way, today there is such a wide variety of content appealing to people's diverse sexual interests, many of which have never been depicted in more conventional media.
I'm all in favor of more honest and realistic portrayals of sex in media that serve a thematic purpose, or are at least interesting.
