Nude scene

I personally think it was unnecessary as well. I just think Denzel is a little too old to be in these types of scenes. He is my favorite actor in the world and I just do not understand why he would agree, being a family man and all. The typical man on here will defend him over the issue at all cost; I already know that. Meaning, well, it was necessary to show his lifestyle/consequences/blah blah blah. Anyways, like some others stated, it is rated R and you know that covers nudity. So you should always be ready whether you agree with it or not. There are ways to show post sex and the audience will get the point, e.g. being covered up in bed smoking a cig. I am just a little disappointed in Denzel, however he is still my favorite actor. If you do not think that there are pedophiles, perverts, and sadists posting on here at times, then you are fooling yourself.

Well Meezer3, I have your back and Annette513's back. You can go back and read what I stated. I agree, we could have done without it and left it to our imagination. I think the whole buzz is about what you stated Meezer3, they try to wave it in front of our face and see who bites. The scene was way too long and you are 100% about the ideology of Hollywood, lets show some nudity, so that we can sell more tickets. Many of us watch regular television all the time and see a couple in bed with sheets over them. We get it, they just had sex and we can choose to leave it to our imagination if we so desire. I would go as far to say that it may be on some subconsciousness level that a lot of people do not even realize. Sure, there are guys out there that want to see the nudity in order to fulfill their fantasies. However, for a movie like this, I just do not see the need to throw in a 3 min or so nudity scene. The people who made this film are way too talented to need this sort of thing thrown into the mix. I see it as tasteless. For the men who need to see nudity in a movie, there is always Cinemax.

I have to disagree. I think that movies have gotten a lot more tame when it comes to nudity and sex the past couple of decades. Looking back at lots of movies from the 70's and 80's, there was a lot more nudity and it wasn't a big deal because they were adult movies for adult audiences. Hollywood has sanitized a lot of things over the years to make more money in the PG-13 realm. Perhaps there's been some resurgence of actual rated R movies in recent years that aren't dumbed down for teenagers, but it's not that many.

Our society seems to be much more comfortable with violence than nudity for some reason. I really don't get why nudity is offensive. I think people are uncomfortable with that opening scene because we've become too accustomed to PG-13 type material.
