Unnecessary sex scenes ruin family viewing

then you name specific porn videos for their production value, showing you know them well, all this in addition your rather telling user name. You just lost all credibility. And why you would be watching The Handmaiden with your kids anyway is kind of in question.

WTF are you talking about? Read the original post. Do I say I hate porn? No. Do I say this movie would still be enjoyable without all that soft-porn? Yes. Do you comprehend what you are reading? Obviously no.

I can sort of see what you're saying. on one hand this isn't really a movie for kids anyway. but it could be accessible for teens and relatives if it weren't for the full on sex. most movies just allude to what's happening and cut away. so it really isn't something you can watch with family even if you're all adults. I'm an adult and I would love to show this to my parents as a great movie but I would feel uncomfortable watching this with them because the sex scenes go on for too long. it was part of these characters falling for each other and the sex is not totally unnecessary, but there were parts that went on for a really long time.

I kind of doubt anyone who isn't already old enough to put the sex scenes into context would enjoy the works of Chan-Wook Park, at least not this one. I grew up watching Hitchcock, lots of old classics, some more easily digestible art-house films.but this would have just confused me in my per-pubescent years.

I agree with you that its not necessary, although the mild irony of your profile name is striking. The continuing mainstreaming of porn.. (and it is porn in this movie, because the explicit details of the sex only serve a purpose to titillate) is weird given that its so readily available online.

Porn should of course be readily available online. Period. It's part of the liberties of the individual. And nothing is more sacred than the liberties of the individual.
But this flick is more about an intelligent crime than a lesbian love affair. Even so, the intimacy of the dykes could be portrayed without women eating each other's pussies. It is doable. -

I think that is your real problem with the movie. -

That the movie went over your head?
You keep whining that it 'could' have been made without this and that sex scene, like you're saying anything meaningful.
Taxi Driver
'could' have been made without the climactic massacre;
Dumb & Dumber
'could' have been made without the toilet jokes;
Basic Instinct
'could' have been made without the extended sex scenes Has the penny dropped yet?

Just because I stumble down the road like a drunk, that doesn't mean it's the wrong one.
