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 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 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.
Can’t believe it took me this long to finally see this movie. I agree with your assessment. It was basic. I expected so much more from this film. And I also thought she was going to shoot him at the end. I was confused.
A review for snowflakes, ignore this review, 100% watch the movie, it deals with with some fairly heavy subject matter and does so in very human way, there is a reason Halle Berry won an oscar for this role.
Really? The sex is only focus of this review? Disgusting and graphic? Didn't we watch the same movie? Besides it had a deep meaning for the story. Intimate connection over loss that overcomes racism.
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.
Thank you so much for the feedback, it’s been a really long time since I watched this movie, maybe I need to rewatch it and redo my review, sorry it was so disappointing for you.
I agree completely most normal people do so many questions how does losing your son make you horny and want to get fd by a racist prison guard makes no sense 🤔. It makes sense that this porn is Halle most successful film she's not in a lot of good movies
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.
yep. trash channel. maybe not but this review is just... i mean if your a-sexual thats fine. but cmon. when they fucked like that they connected. i hope yall get to experience that connection in yalls real life and i hope its meaningful to you cause the reason that scene was long and uhhh (lol) graphic was well. thats how it is sometimes. sex is powerful. everyone is here because of those desires
JJ 2 it’s definitely NOT a terrible movie but that sex scene was more like porn then just a sex scene. Really glad you enjoyed the movie. Thank you so much for your comments. I really appreciate that.
@@ehsannazari262 honestly, it’s been so long since I’ve watched this movie I actually don’t even remember it. I know obviously I reviewed it. But I don’t even remember much lol. If you were falling asleep, it’s definitely not your cup of tea then lol.
poison_ivy13 thank you for your feedback, I don’t want to ever take my bad / old reviews down to show myself how far I have come. I just rewatched it. Man I was bad lol. Sorry to waste 6:11 of your time.
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.
damn i listened to a lil more. i dont think your a bad person but i do feel sorry for you. actually. typing it out and posting it is a full on ego trip but your mindset is laughable . sorry

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

Wow I came to say the same thing 😂😂😂
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.

@@ejshelby5460Tbh that sex scene was meant to be serious but I found it to be unintentionally funny

The theme is everyone is stuck in a situation. Everyone has to live with pain, pain they can't escape.
A review for snowflakes, ignore this review, 100% watch the movie, it deals with with some fairly heavy subject matter and does so in very human way, there is a reason Halle Berry won an oscar for this role.
Of course, this poor guy is a joke. Just hear him speak... So embarrassing.
Eh, movie was sorta mediocre.
Pornographic ??? Bad call! Not at all! Well played by the actress! She won it and deserved it
Maybe your whole problem was they she was black and he was white?

Hate this review. He spent too much time talking about the sex scene
Thank you so much for the feedback, it’s been a really long time since I watched this movie, maybe I need to rewatch it and redo my review, sorry it was so disappointing for you.
@Superman Steve I've heard it was real/authentic, that they had agreed to do it before the scene was shot.
The 'Sex scene' was Real...that's why it was 'disturbing'....
What?
I agree completely most normal people do so many questions how does losing your son make you horny and want to get fd by a racist prison guard makes no sense 🤔. It makes sense that this porn is Halle most successful film she's not in a lot of good movies
Smooth brain opinion
Yeah I watch this movie with my Dad and I was like oh shit they went too far.....and I was 14 XD. I didn't expect that.

Not content in this review other than this dude’s Squeamishness about the sex scenes…👎
I’m glad I wasted your time. Just like me reading this comment. 🤟

Yeah one of the sex scenes just blow my mind out! But still like the film

Just come out man. 😂😂😂seems like your grossed out by Halle an Bob.
Damn bro. Your observations r invalid
I was looking for a good explanation for this amazing movie's ending, and all I find was this garbage review.
I appreciate your review
I’ve never seen a man so freaked out before, about a sex scene
he’s talking like it a snuff film
I see this in theaters back in 2001 and some people walked out in disgust during the sex scene
This superman steves reaction to the movie was my exact same reaction... It really did leave me bewildered. I felt emotions a didn't even know I had.
I was nearly falling sleep during this movie
@@ehsannazari262 honestly, it’s been so long since I’ve watched this movie I actually don’t even remember it. I know obviously I reviewed it. But I don’t even remember much lol. If you were falling asleep, it’s definitely not your cup of tea then lol.
@supermansteve6832 stay away from it at any cost bro
Keep up with your videos dude!
Gk5 that’s so kind man. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
You need a lot of practice before filming
