C'mon!!!! Im not one to censor any director's vision but this just seemed to me as excessive with absolutely no value added to the story.... in short gratuitous! Just because it can be filmed doesnt mean that it should, I think the story could have flowed along just nicely with out that but Lee seemed to think differently. Perhaps he's at that stage in his career where he thinks shock value adds to a films credibility.
shareIt was kinda hot. He should have sucked on her toes too!
shareIt's a typical "cultural shock".
Every culture has it's taboos. For example AFAIK there are no kisses in Bollywood movies.
Maybe in America this act is considered gross, but evidently it is not in China where the movie was filmed.
As a European I was also very surprised by all these messages from shocked users. Here just a fews would find an armpit licking scene so scandalous (practically just the ones who found scandalous the entire sex scene).
Lol this thread is full of lulz.
shareI suppose I don't see what's so shocking about licking an armpit. The way I see it, no place is off limits to licking when you're having sex. I can't say I'm a fan of being licked in the armpit. The one time a man (a white American man) licked my armpit, all I could think was that my deodorant probably didn't taste very good.
Honestly, all the armpit licking made me think of was the time that guy licked mine. It didn't phase me, at all. I've seen some sex scenes in my life that have made me blush. The armpit lick wasn't even on my weirdness radar. Who knew someone could have such strong feelings about an armpit.
You really felt the need to make a thread about this? I *beep* despise puritans.
"Flash, Flash, I love you, but we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth!"
The hair was hot.
shareWell, I guess it's either do that shot to get the point across, because they couldn't do a shot of him licking her vagina in a non-porn flick. Armpit and vagina stink are the scents of love. Intimacy is messy.
I needed to see this post to be reminded of this scene. What stood out for me was how brutal and mean he was towards her during their first encounter. And you're upset by his later expression of unbridled lust for her later.
