In class we talked a bit about how violence
is more widely accepted than sex in movies and books. I had never really
thought about this until recently. I think why sex is less accepted in movies
is that when you show nudity it's actually a naked woman or person who is being
exposed. With violence the weapons, wounds, and blood are fake no matter how
real they look. Seeing sex stays in your mind that's why people can get
addicted to pornography. Violence isn't something that you can get addicted to
seeing.
Descriptions of sex aren’t necessarily
needed in movies or books. There are ways of describing events without being
explicit. In the Stardust movie, the first sex scene isn’t even shown but the audience
is well aware of what happened. Violence is sometimes needed in a story to show
plot progression or importance of the situations. For example, the Battle of
Five Armies in the Hobbit isn’t necessarily needed but it shows how important
the quest for the treasure was important to a great of the inhabitants of
Middle Earth.
I
guess opinions very per person on this subject but I find explicit sex in books and movies very
unnecessary.
