The amount of sex and violence in movies is rarely used to determine the caliber of a movie. Citizen Kane is one of the most historic films of all time and yet there is little violence and sex in it compared to recent films. The problem in society today is how audiences don't stand up for the parts they don't like in films. Even though someone was completely repulsed by a chapter in a movie, the rest of it was pretty good so that warrants a good appraisal for the film. When friends ask him how the movie was, he tells them it was great, there was some bad parts, but it's still really funny. As soon as we allowing movies to be o.k., the next wave will be borderline, until again we o.k. them, and the process continues. An example is how Hollywood doesn't understand how the film 300 really didn't need that sex scene to be epic, or a nude oracle dancing to bring fortune. The edited movie was fantastic as well!
When Cleanflix was running I was getting really excited. I thought we had reached a new level of separating ourselves from streamline, then they were immediately shut down. My hopes were lost, but my dreams still remain that someday Hollywood will learn to produce exemplary films with less sex and violence. Until then I may just be the reason it may never come, because I will probably be watching the movies anyway.
