It's strange how in America, we're used to seeing such blatent violence and explosions, and no one exactly has a problem with it. But watching the full frontal in Titanic caused my mom to bitch back in the day.
I think it's just the awkwardness that results from watching nudity with your family. I've seen a MAJOR difference in European films and when I stayed in Europe for a while. The entire society is just so much more accepting about sex, and it isn't boiled down to drunken parties like it is in the states for teenagers, or crazy dorm parties. In Europe it's like sex anytime, anywhere, free love. I love that, but I can't imagine that here.
When you think about it, most of us have grown up with more violence than sex. We always wanted to be the traditional ass-kickers... The Terminator, Rambo, all of those heroes are the badasses. We're Americans, we're gung-ho, it's just who we are. We don't go too far into the existential dramas, we want explosions.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
The only way out is through.
