    This is one of the worst reviews ever, a lot rambling and nervousness about the sex scenes.
    I thought it was an amazing movie and painful movie. The story was not standard fare. There no mention of the relationship between Hank (Billy Bob’s character) with his son Sonny (Heath Ledger). Or mention that Hank was a racist whom may have been molded to be so by his father, Buck.
    Or the somewhat bizarre rituals of a man’s last walk, and Hanks sense of duty in performing that in a respectful manner.
    Or how there could even be a human connection between Leticia (Halle Berry), and Hank. There were a lot of layers to the performances and story, and if your main critique is that in today’s time this is borderline porn, you missed a lot in your observations of this film.

      I agree. I just rewatched this movie again. Its really a wonderful film and far more than just the graphic sex scene.

      I have to disagree, in your concept that there was no mention of Hank being a racist. When Hank came out of his house; with a rifle an made a shot in the air ( He called the two children the N word get off my property. The language makes it racist).

      @@paulettesmith4071I think that he meant that there was no mention on the review about how Hank was brought up to be racist. He even calls his colleague the N word. But I think that the gun shot to the boys was more likely to please his dad…

    I've just rewatched this movie. Halle's performance was amazing, well deserved Oscar. The sex scenes in my opinion were in line with the narrative.

    I very much disagree… this is a near perfect film in my opinion.. the sex scene was realistic and very fitting to the situation these characters were dealing with.. and it wasn’t all that graphic really.. and the fact that you equate this to pornography leads me to believe you didn’t really understand what was going on with these characters.. and prostitutional? Hardly. These 2 characters lost everything and needed each other.. more than just sex.. and the movie doesn’t need to explain why her ex husband is sentenced to death. Why does it? That’s not the point, it is what it is. It’s about the aftermath..

      @@zari5972 This guy has a brain of a under 21 year old...he just can't get over the sex scene and the sex scene clouded his ability to understand this movie altogether. The sex scene is completely authentic, proabably the best use of sex scene to deliver such complex and intense emotion. Sex scene is meant to always heighten emotion or complete emotional sequence but no film has done this well.

    I always hate sex scenes and they make me cringe. But it was her acting during that made it good. I felt her pain.
    And for the short attention span or typical American, if it wasn't for sex in the movie, people wouldn't have watched it and paid attention to thw racsit reality that's still going on. This clearly went over your head. And for those watching porn all the time it makes sense why you compared it. The scene was very good. I felt the vulnerability of the grieving characters.

  • @Ghostface634
    @Ghostface634 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The movie was done in the sense of how reality is...which is why the sex scene had to be real which is something different that not a lot of movies attend to do, It wasn't suppose to be p0rnographic because if you compare this sex scene to ones that are done within the adult industry there is a big difference...the adult industry show every detail of a man and a woman getting it on which this movie didn't do due to their most private body parts was taken out of the shot when on the other hand the adult industry does show everything that is 100% p0rnographic. But yeah the director was trying to be clever by making this as real as possible but doesn't exactly show everything within the scene...and all because of this including Halle's great acting it led her to get the Oscar who was the first black actress to win for best actress in over 70 years.

    you talk too much about the sex scene.The ending is sort of ambiguous. But I like to think that she feels safe in the end. Halle Berry found drawing of Billy Bob and Heath. she knew that her husband liked them, why would you draw someone you don't like.

    Well never seen Paul Verhoeven´s movies eh? They are truly and i mean truly hardcore. Compared to this the sex scenes are softcore. I would not recommend watching Spetters. Modern Hollywood is truly to prudish and it is kinda pathetic that we are de-evolving and getting scared of nudity.
    But harsh violence is just fine! The hypocrisy of it all!
    I am not disliking this video i very rarely do because you are in your right of your opion how pathetic it maybe.
