too many boobs.

You never got enough boobs.

I disagree in a way. He did look at her for her beauty as well, but it was just that at first he wasn't looking at her at all. He was still caught up. I even noticed that the film maker made a point to change her make up and what not to make her seem more attractive later on to the audience as well.

I will agree with the point about how silly it is that there were like 5 gorgeous women shopping at the same time, in the same aisle. And overnight none the less. I think perhaps they should have featured some women with less than perfect proportions and of varying ages, as well as model types.

"i don't know. it just seems like an excuse to put model boobs in every shot that it was possible to put it into. that's the only real thing i hated about the movie i guess. even half the boobs they showed in the movie would have been okay. there were just too many. and like, since when do 7 supermodel chicks shop in the supermarket individually at like 5am. lol. "

You have been remember that this is Ben's fantasy. Although there are a lot of gorgeous women (models) shopping at the same time, the way there body looks is his fantasy. It would be even weirder if he had a fantasy with them being heavier or if they had something else that would turn most men off.

lol by my experience the only movies that show tons of boobs are terrible b horror movies. and there's nothing wrong with it, but they don't need to make up like 30% of the movie. just my opinion, though.

I think what sets this film apart is that the scenes where they do show boobs or any nudity whatsoever isn't simply for a T and A aspect. It's not like Sean Ellis did it because he wanted to show boobs or pump up the sex appeal so people would see it. I genuinely believe that it' more of an appreciation of the female body: the curves, softness. If you take it to the extremes, it's almost like an ode to the female form. I didn't feel offended by it or threatened, nor did I think Ben was being a total perv because there's something that's calm and non-threatening about Ben (and that's speaking from a woman's perspective), although I do agree, it may seem unlikely that "7 supermodel chicks" would just randomly be there. But I think there are a lot of beautiful women in the UK and the possibility at least does exist, and hell why not, right?

As for the contradiction of beauty, whereas I have yet to see th 2006 film, I saw the short, and I think if anything it's not so much a contradiction but something very endearing or at least a clever contrast. At least you know Ben isn't totally in it for looks or sex. Personally I can't think of a better way at least from Sean Ellis' perspective how to show that Ben has true interest in Sharon. I suppose you could add the fact that they are friends and those girls in the supermarket could be random, he may not even know them and I suppose that allows him to distance himself and it makes it easier because he doesn't know them. I think what could be a bigger issue is that based on the women he chose to be nude could give off a very prejudiced view of beauty, instead of the fact that there are a lot of boobs. Nudity I don't mind as long as it has purpose, and I think that it does in Cashback: the female form is beautiful (at least according to Ben)

And as far as boobage in a movie goes, I don't know if Beerfest had as many scenes that showed breasts or female nudity, but I remember after having seen it thinking, "Dude... there were a lot of tits in that movie...". I could be wrong, hahaha, and I probably am. Not to say it was a terrible movie, but amusing and it did make me laugh at the very least.

I didn't mind the breasts and I'm a woman too. Still thought it was a stunning film. I loved every second of it. But perhaps that's because I can find beauty in every curve, every line. ;)

It was pretty pointless, but the director seems to regard is as a momentous thing.

The thing is the female body is indeed beautiful, but this teenager, aswell as most people can not see this beauty without mixing it with lust.
In fact this mixing already happens before seeing the female form, making them mistake, and or masking, their lust with an "artistic appreciation".

Moreover we are dealing here with a mind (of the main character and possibly the director (?)) so simple that it is still questioning the definition of love and mourns (for an extent of time much too long) his "loss" of a girlfriend of two years standing (laugh!).


"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy."

maybe a woman sees this movie as having too many boobs, but im an art student too, and when your an art student you do appreciate things more than you normally would, whether its the complexity of a reflection off a shiny car or a womans boobs... I think the nudity in this movie definitely had a rightful place, and it was also just a great excuse to show a lot of boobs, so im not complaining.

and you cant fault them for putting so many hot chicks in one supermarket, i mean would you really wanna stare at nothing but saggy disgusting looking boobs if you didnt have to?
