NEEDED NOOKIE
Anybody else way disappointed that there was NO sex in this film? What, they didn't have sex in 1920? Really? How did my mammy and pappy get here?
Seriously, I'm not some mouth-breather who can't enjoy a drama without seeing some naughty bits, but here you've got a couple of handsome young people who obviously dig each other from the start, and their love evolves. We need to SEE the combustion and consummation of that love. It would have added much-needed juice to a too-long, too-dry story.
More directors of these period pieces need to recognize that just because attitudes toward sex and nudity were different in the past doesn't mean that people weren't getting their freak on. And if that's the case, AND it is integral to the story, then, dagnubit, show me the f'shizzle!
I saw this film with my wife and two friends. When I started to voice my opinion, they all looked at me like I was some perv. Am I wrong?
