You're letting feminist retardatation troll you out of watching a golden palm winner? Poor choice.
People who complain about the sex scenes are conservative christian cucks or feminists who have no idea how to interpret the film as the scenes are crucial to the story.

The author of the graphic novel the movie is based on said: ''It was a brutal and surgical display, exuberant and cold, of so-called lesbian sex, which turned into porn, and [made] me feel very ill at ease,'' - Julie Maroh
You can check out mostly every interview of the main protagonists and they will complain about crap that happend on the set.
I just don't care about a 3h long lesbian soft porn, as I said if you enjoyed it that's fine with me, I have a huge pile of movies I want to see and this one just doesn't interest me.

Who cares what the author of the graphic novel thought, it's a film and the people who know film ie film critics praise it.
It's not 3 hours of lesbian softcore it's 10 minutes spread across 3 scenes, you're just coming off as ignorant by writing off a film you haven't seen on completely ridiculous basis.

A simple "I'm not interested" would have been enough, instead you start some bullshit moral argument against a film you haven't seen which makes you look bad.

Film "critics" praised the new Ghostbusters as well, couldn't care less about their opinion.

That's the point, I wanted to see it, that's why I had it on my watchlist. But after hearing all the rumors and the stuff that happend behind the scenes I just can't force myself on watching it objectively.
It's not about the sex scenes, from which I heard they add nothing to the plot, but the crap the director pulled off on the set.
Well maybe he is just an excentric asshole, Kubrick wasn't easy to handle either.

Just watched The Man Who Knew Infinity, fine movie if you are interested in the history of Mathematics, pretty accurate with the theorems which are displayed and not just an alphabetic clusterfuck.

It's understandable that you don't want to watch it because you feel like it's ruined by the controversy behind it but that's a problem on your end, it has nothing to do with the film. Same way I feel like Woody Allen or Roman Polanski personal controversy doesn't take away from their films.

What's mostly upsetting is your comment about the movie being an excuse to produce a softcore film. It is in fact one of the best films from the last twenty years and yes, it does feature some sex-scenes but if that were all the film had to offer it wouldn't have won the golden palm and I wouldn't be praising it and we wouldn't be having this discussion. And again, people who claim the sex scenes are unnecessary haven't watched the film. I made a long post about the sex scenes in this film on a Swedish forum and non of the people who shared your point of view bothered to comment, probably because they knew I was right.

The sex scenes make up a very small part of the movie (minute wise) but are actually pretty important to the movie and development of our main character. Obviously they aren't a perfect depiction of true lesbian intimacy, but you don't need to be a genius to realize that a male (or even non-gay female) director would be able to 100℅ perfectly direct the perfect lesbian scene, assuming the actors could even act it out. Overall the scenes were beautiful and showed the passion the characters shared. They also play an important part in developing the main characters feelings, or at least showing the development. Overall the movie is a raw and emotional depiction of a girl trying to figure out who she is in a time/place where she isn't sure if her feelings are safe/proper.

Like I said, many people worked on the film, the two actresses did an amazing job and seemed to put everything into their performance, refusing to see it based on the rumors of the alleged reasoning behind one person working on the film not only insults everyone else who worked on the film, it also disservices you by stopping you from watching a truly moving film.

If you don't want to watch it that's fine, but don't pretend it is because you have some high and mighty moral code that is better than everyone elses. In fact refusing to watch it for the reason you stated is pretty damn petty.

Yeah, I mean people who complain about unnecessary sex-scenes are clueless. The film is NOT about two lesbians who end up dating each other. It's about a woman who is confused about her sexuality and eventually end up dating a lesbian. There's a huge difference between the two and Adele's romantic contacts throughout the film highlights this phenomena. The film has a very modern and healthy view on sexuality as it highlights the fact that human sexuality comes in many different shapes and forms. The film shatters the gay / straight dichotomy.

10/10!

About La Vie d'Adele, I thought it was one of the best movies in recent years. The sex scenes... well, I do think they were necessary, but imo they were also unnecessarily long. Not complaining about them being graphic, because I feel that delivered impact, but I really don't think the movie needed to have 3-4 minute long sex scenes.

I think that anyone who refuses to watch the movie is missing out, but if someone feels uncomfortable due to the movie's background, then he's free to not watch it. It's not something I can really relate to, since I've watched and enjoyed from an artistic perspective stuff like Triumph Des Willens despite the disgusting ideology behind it, but I respect it. If you're not paying the creators to view the movie, then I don't think you should feel uncomfortable, but to each their own.



To me Stardust was much more like The Princess Bride or a Knight's Tale (albeit still different) than Harry Potter. I agree De Niro's role was weird/awkward, but whatever, I enjoyed the movie

if you don't like how a director treats an actor be prepared to cross tons of movies off your list
