  • Few films have earned the dreaded NC-17 rating, but how far is too far? For these films, the line between artistry and exploitation is a thin one.

    I worked at theaters showing Henry and June and Showgirls. With Henry and June, we really had to card people and we had it playing in several auditoriums during its run. Showgirls only had 1 showing and we had it for a week. Have both in my collection and I treasure it. Thanks for showing it some love.

    The 1978 horror masterpiece Dawn of the Dead almost got an X-Rating for violence... until the producers decided to release it unrated!
    When "Clockwork Orange" was first released it got an X. As a result several news papers wouldn't carry ads for the film. After the removal of less than a minute's worth of footage (!) it got an R, allowing certain papers to print the ads.
    Angel Heart has a similar story...

      There was a sexual assault scene that was edited out. During the end, the actor is turning bread dough, and crying. It was supposed to be part of the montage towards the end.
      Sorry for the play on words.

    It can still be artistry and not "exploitation" even if it gets an NC-17. And that's true even if topics like assault or incest are depicted. Art isn't necessarily supposed to be pretty or comforting.

    Well... John Singleton once said (I'm paraphrasing) in movies violence and murder are okay, but when you include (even tasteful) sex scenes the rating hits the ceiling. Or in other words: Killing people is accepted everyday life in movies but sex is evil.
    That (very american) bigotry is kinda sad I think.

    I think we all know that anything set within the realms of possibility based on history is likely to be taken too seriously. Some hope (like I do, but learned all are bullshit) that they can enjoy a film while learning history in a way they can digest easily. Making something up for "artistic liberties" is very irresponsible of writers and directors when it comes to depictions of real people. Abraham Lincoln killing vampires is one thing, Kennedy raping Monroe without any known evidence of it is crossing a line somewhere.

    As much as ‘Requiem for a Dream’ messed me up, I thought it was a great movie. Life never ends, and instead of finishing this movie on a positive note, they ended it on a bad one. It was refreshing in a way.
    And Jennifer Connelly being my favourite actress, I bought it on DVD having never seen it before. That was a rude awakening.

  • @MetFreak42

    Requiem was a one-and-done viewing for me. I still bought and own the DVD, but I doubt I'll ever watch it again. Not because I thought it a bad movie, just... hit too close to home. A few friends (well, former friends) of mine went through a scenario very similar. Obviously not as dramatic as what's in the movie, but it was close enough.

    I have seen the "Requiem for a Dream", and I must say that there wasn't a single scene where I would laugh. It was very disturbing and I have to say I had to watch another film after that in order to even be able to sleep. Not sure if I'm going to watch that film again, probably not. But I'd recommend that film to anyone who might think of getting their hands on drugs. It serves as a great anti-ad to drugs.

    Blonde is one of the worst, most repugnant & exploitative films I’ve ever seen. The director basically misled Anna de Armas into making his own personal porno rather than a compelling look at who Marilyn Monroe actually was. Rather than show the multifaceted person she was: a confident & funny sex icon who had a dark past & some personal demons, he chose to solely focus on sex scene after sex scene 💀 Hope that director never works again.

    It's wild to me that the US has 17 as the age for explicit content to be ok where other countries such as the UK have 18, which also happens to be the legal drinking age (among a multitude of other 'adult' rights) whereas the US has 21 for drinking, LITERALLY the stand-alone country with the highest age limit. I just don't get it. Police spending time and resources "busting" 19, 20-year olds (who can vote, go to war, etc.) for drinking privately is simply madness.

    I just watched "Showgirls" a couple of days ago, I love Paul Verhoeven movies, Robocop, Total Recall, Starship Troopers, he is the master of satire and commentary disguised as blockbuster movies; and I think the same was for "Showgirls", while steppeing out of what he is known for, the movie is a critique on the entertaiment industry and the explotation of women in said industry, so to make his point across he made it a Sexploitation movie, what's funny is when the movie came out everything that was about Nomi's story and how she slowly gets corrupted more and more to get what she wants, and how everyone around her is more rotten the higher she gets, and how Vegas in this movie really honors the name of "Sin City", and on top that is beautifully shot, really the city itself becomes another character; all of these was pushed aside by the critics and the audience because all they could see was the sex, which proofs the movie's point, since sex is all the public wants to see, whether to enjoy it or criticized it, then that is the what the industry will sell, positive or negative attention the audience give it by loads to this movie for the same reasons they think it's shouldn't get any.

    Notable that the best of these are excellent films that stumbled into the rating. Meanwhile, others are self-important yet silly, “arty” yet trashy, “titillating” yet boring tripe that, in many cases, aimed for the rating & the controversy… only to be controversial because viewers said, “Much ado about nothing.”🥱
