Life is beautiful, Love is beautiful. Cinema is a reflection of collective souls collaborating to replicate life. Let us rise above the inherent prejudices that we have been carrying for so long, and enjoy and experience different and varied forms of expression. It will help us grow as humans. AND WE SURELY NEED THAT!

why not if you are a volunteer.. your arguement is so shallow..there are scenes in cinema which depict people in different stages of life encountering and battling various diseases and yes they have depicted those realities, but i guess those films will never be in your watch list.. stick to the monotony and mundane of your life, watch indian soaps with its sweeter then deathly coated emotions! thats for you!

HAhahaha Hemanti. Totally agree with your point. It should give people something to think about when presenting their argument of "being natural" !!
And haha..would those "nature-loving" people like to walk around naked (in their natural forms!) out in the public or in front of their kids?
about 2 decades back, there were films given "A" certificate and at present there so many adult contents in the films but the film is being shown to general public. Our children becoming adults in the teenage resulting in enhancement of crime related to love and sex. God knos the future of India. Western culture being focred on Indian community e.g. legalisation of homosex. In coming days no surpirse, extra marital affairs would be legalised in India by high court.

Do you mean to say there are no sex offenders in the US, the most non-conservative state in the whole world?

You have the worst illusion of the world. The american society is among the most conservative ones. Look at the hill tribes back home, hardly any sex-crime is there, one of the reasons being easy natural relaships within the community.

Your view of this world is myopic my friend. Why are you so ashamed of what you are? Depiction of morality, doesen' t make it a more conscientious society, and depiction of love or love making, doesen' t make it a licentious society. We live in a world of freewill and you have the right not to watch it, but you can never stop people from branching out of the mundane and breaking new ground with their thoughts! DON'T MORAL POLICE THE WORLD!

Well, in fact, one does. You guys have so little exposure to the world of movies that you can't imagine. There are great movies by the greatest directors of the world where such 'natural' acts are focussed on. Take Salon by Passolini, for example. Nudity and sexuality is a major part of the film language today. Take Godard, Bergman, and Fassbinder as exemplary directors. Point is how do you use it. A film can not be bad just because it shows sex. This is poor morality; your morality is Victorian decadence at its worst.

This shows your unfortunate permisiveness. Just like secularism by our politicians many think it is fashinable to approve such open exposures. What is the difference between us and the street dogs. In the name of naturalism the voyuristic desires of people are exploited and made money. In the film Gandhi the director shows the closeness of the couple when tears role down incessantly down the cheeks of Gandhiji on the death of Kasturba. This scene without any ado or noise or dialogue runs for minutes. Yet what an unforgettable experience that delivers on the viewers every body knows. So please do not justify pornography.

It is sad to know that there are people like you in the 21st century! Secularism is the bedrock of an open and growing democracy, and the most salient feature is dialogue and dialogue can only happen when people agree to talk. You are right there is no difference between you and street dogs, because you fail to evolve and nurture the thought that there is something like freedom of expression! I wonder how you reproduce, i guess just by looking at your wife. Even The Mahatma couldn' t do that.

Wow al brando. You're in the 21st century already! Amazing! Congrats! You are so futuristic, so forward-looking, so open-minded. You shouldn't fall in love with anyone, because that is oh so 20th century. You shouldn't go to the bathroom because that's what people in the 20th century used to do. Man, you should move ahead to the 21st, and maybe even the 22nd century. You should do things that noone ever did, like having a three-some with dogs...now that's 22nd century stuff dude. Think future. So lovely.
