Self pleasure scene in The To Do List. Apparently wasn't faked. Question


I've been looking on the web to find out more on this scene. This scene was genuine where by she actually performed this for real as i think the director asked her to do this.

My question and quandry is... Does this not sound abit wrong to anyone? Asking an actress to perform this for real. Couldn't of this just been faked, given the illusion that it was real. Mighten of this made the actress really uncomfortable to do? The ethics with all this.

Thanks.

Well, it is a bit weird, but it's not like she took acid for a scene or something, like Shia LaBoeuf.
She obviously agreed to doing it, so I don't really see a problem.

It absolutely couldn't "of", but it possible could "have", however unlikely.

if she was such a great performer why would she have to do it for real? can't be that good at what she does if she can't fake .If a director has to make a actress rub one out for real then he has failed as a director .Although i doubt that it was for real she gets paid to perform and pretend not do something for real .That would bring her down to the level of a pornstar

What does water being dumped on and actors head have to do with and actor actually masturbating on film for real ?? Two totally different things ,only really bad actors do real things because they have no talent or they are working for someone who doesn't know how to direct and create reality .Actors are no different than magicians its all and illusion .Today alot of actors and directors go for real because the truth is no of them have any talent or technique to speak of that can effectively create that illusion .It's lazy ,audrey plaza does these really bad low budget films where the people directing don't know there elbow from there ass .Everything is tacky and overly done because let's face it that's all the hollywood left has in there bag of tricks .Being excessive,shocking and doing things for real like the jackass boys .
