re: #118 Soap_Man

No. You can have a sex scene without nudity and have it work (where the sex is more implied than shown.) But, if you saw the scene, it was really intense and graphic. Ramping it up to that level and being like “oh, they both kept their bras on” seems, yes, unrealistic. In that scene it’s distracting.

I’m not complaining that I went to the movies and didn’t get any T&A. (The side-boob comment was a joke.) I just thought the scene came off as an unsuccessful mix of sauciness and timidity.

I’m in between agreeing with you and wondering if that was the point. Portman’s character is all sorts of twisted around sexuality so I kind of wonder if a mix of sauciness and timidity is what the director was intending.
