Re: Why defend mind-less SMUT?? |
Good points all, and I'll reply at length later -- I'm off to the theater to see a real movie. The kind with sprocket holes and stuff.

Re: Why defend mind-less SMUT?? |
As a parent, I can see why people might want to restrict access to some of the racier films in the Archive, but what kid today wants to watch anything in black and white? What happens when we're not not around any more to appreciate all these old films, smutty or not? Then they really will be orphan films.

Thank you TO MARYSZ |
MARY an excellent post. I have NOT objected to the old archive films,as they are valuable in giving an insight into the minds of people past (in this case,it is probably a minority ). revision (heading)

Perhaps by reflecting on the films of the past, whatever their content, we can find our way to becoming a more constructive society, and to let go of the kinds of personal shortcomings and societal incongruencies that sometimes lead to the pursuit of the kinds of entertainment that might not be in the best interest of a sustainable, equitable society where all people are treated with respect and kindness. What do you think?

Re: Why defend mind-less SMUT?? |
Marysz, as a parent, how do you deal with these issues? (Or have they even come up yet?)

Re: Why defend mind-less SMUT?? |
Thanks for the compliment, Cashel! As for what I do, I think we parents have to resign ourselves to the fact that our kids are going to be exposed to a barrage of unacceptable images and ideas. All we can do is talk it over with them, so that they feel their feelings are acknowleged. If only the world were more like a Coronet film—full of caring parents and teachers and loads of wholesome activities for kids.
