still old
For years now I’ve been watching a movie review program that’s host by two movie critics David and Margaret that are renowned it’s pretty much my favourite program in my sad existence. Last week David pointed something out that I found pretty interesting earlier I think a couple of weeks earlier they had reviewed a European film I think it was German, but the film was based within the 2nd world war and Margaret had described the sexual content of the film as being all about ‘tits.’ Although when reviewing a recent English film called ‘cash back’ which follows a 15 year old boy working in a convenient store and he freezes time and things, being a 15 year old boys mind there is obviously much sexual content which David referred to as being almost Soft core pornography but Margaret said that with the context it was only expected, which surprised David. And it got me thinking this is a women who fought to have Kent Park a film that was banned in Australia to be played and even organised the under ground screening that was broken up by police. She justifies everything according to context. Is it really so simple as to judge sexual content according to the context? Its natural for the mind of a 15-year-old boy but not for a war film? And a film that is apparently so graphic that it has to be banned should still be left up to public choice?
