What, you were expecting her to wear a Lanz nightgown? They're 20-somethings on vacation in the Bahamas. That's how they roll. This movie was based on an actual incident, so looks like the director decided to go with a documentary ambience.

Don't know about anyone else but I personally don't need any reason at all to look at Blanchard Ryan naked, ever
I think what the director was doing was showing them in a comfortable situation totally at ease and vulnarable (the nudity)which is in total contrast to where they were and what they were doing the following night.
On the other hand, the director may have just agreed with my first statement -

I aren't complaining as i think the actress is really attractive and has a fantastic bodybut did think it was a trifle unnesecery that they filmed hr on the bed totally nakedjust had no point to the film itself
on that note..has she been in anything else? -

Actually her not wanting to have sex brings up another point, it was thier last chance to have sex though she had no way of knowing that. Maybe she regretted saying no later when she realized it??
Just theorizing, once again, maybe the director just asked her if she would be willing to do a nude scene, she said yes, and he ran with it. Can't hold that against him. -

Yeah, I'm thinking that it was something like that.
Or maybe, as Blanchard was what, 36 at the time, and not really what you'd call a well-known or overly successful actress, maybe she figured, what the hell, do some nudity to get noticed. -

The reason for the nudity is to sell tickets.
That being said, lots of people lay around nude. Unless I'm with company, the first thing I do when I get home is take my clothes off. OK, sometimes I'll leave shorts and a tee on, but just as often everything comes off. It's just more comfortable that way. I'm surprised that anyone would think people should always have clothes on, unless they're actually having sex or a shower. Not to be offensive, but that attitude does seem prudish. -

I'm sure there are many people who sleep naked, married or not. However, being that America was founded by a bunch of prudes, and that prudishness has come to define this country, even that little bit of nudity is a big deal, and the director knows this. Therefore, I think it was a ploy to make the males, at least, attach or care for this woman, in one way or another.

The reason is that every movie for the past 15 years has a "de rigeur" nude scene or one of people engaged in a sexual act. Apparently it is impossible to release a film these days without scenes of urination and defecation, either. The audience has been turned into voyeurs by the film makers. They are less concerned with story development than they are with attempts at gratuitous titillation.

One of the most gratuitous nude scenes I have ever seen. Not that I'm complaining.
You could argue that most nude scenes in movies are not really necessary. Then again, there are probably a lot things in movies that are unnecessary. It doesn't make it bad. -

This nude scene was really strange to me because I watched the special features and some interviews and the director said that whoever was going to be the lead had to be "completely okay with nudity" So you'd think since that was a deciding factor and it was a big part of the decision making process that the scene was something entirely important, but it wasn't. I think that the director saying that is more weird than anything. He was just determined to have a naked woman in his movie and wasn't willing to compromise? Odd.

Interesting that this thread seemingly won't die! I'm glad. Though people obviously get naked in their daily lives for various reasons, the fact that American films so often only show the female's body shows a lack of cultural sophistication. Why should a female actress have to do nude scenes to get noticed? The unfair treatment of actresses and the way women are portrayed in the media is widely documented and needs to change. Men should be naked as wellit's only natural. This substandard flick was just another example of this tired "norm". Yawn!

It was to create a sense of realism, almost like the movie was a documentary that was just peeking in on some normal peoples lives.
I doubt it was to sell tickets to young boys. The film wasn't advertised with nudity, and it's not the first thing people remember when talking about it to others.
