Lets Talk About Sex
Listening to:Samba E Amor, Bebel Gilberto
Thinking of:
The thing about inheriting data is that its difficult to understand when they're just labeled 1.1, 1.2 and so on... Anyway, this blog was intended originally to humor me (and you readers) and as a small corner of the web to vent my frustration through the course of everyday life.
Anyway, I took to watching Kinsey yesterday afternoon and though the film describes the work and an interpretation of Kinsey's definitive work on society and their sexual behavior, the portrayal of the characters definitely made the film stand out. The obvious would be Alfred Kinsey and his pedantic and constant scientific approach to the behavior considered taboo then and even now. Ranging from homosexuality to animalistic sex, the way he dissects each case study in an almost sacrilege like fashion. Though of course, some of the methods would come under intense scrutiny and criticism (taking photos of women while their having an orgasm). Admittedly, I'm not the first to comment on the character, Alfred Kinsey.
However, I did wish they gave a little bit more light to his wife. Dedicated, self assuring, strong willed, open to ideas and experimental. Her role in his exploits cannot be looked over, from tolerating his work (in its many forms) yet being a staunch supporter to her husband's work and molding the family in order to accept the fact that due to the nature of Kinsey's work, not everything is normal. The way she withholds emotion in several occasions for the sake of science.
I liked the film immensely, I have to say. Doubt for the obvious reasons that it's shown in Malaysia though.
