I thought the bedroom scene with Sellers and MacLaine was pretty tacky, even for this movie. It was obviously played for laughs, but they both looked absolutely foolish. If they wanted to show Chance's naivete toward sex, it could have been revealed in a more subtle tone and fashion. The way it was done here looks forced and more appropriate for the SNL audience.
shareI thought it was well done, adding to the idea that Chance really didn't have to do anything and he made the people around him manifest their desires physically.
What she needed (and wanted, either consciously or subconsciously) was a good orgasm, and he obliviously gave it to her.
I liked the dead bear skin too, because that was basically what Chance's role was in the 'sex scene', a dead rug. But, it still worked for her.
I can't stand prudes. If either of them felt it was "degrading" they wouldn't have done the scene. It isn't like someone was standing behind the camera with a whip and a chair forcing them to do this.
The scene was flawless and it fit in perfectly to the film. But hey, if sexuality bothers you, stick with G rated movies. This was for thinking adults.
In the novel, it's the gay ambassador who masturbates in front of him.
shareThe screen was great. It fit the film perfectly.
shareFirst time seeing the movie and the bear rug scene shouldn't have been included in the movie. Took it from a 9/10 for me to an 8/10. I did like him standing on his head during the end of the scene.
