obviously there are many movies with pointless sex scenes that should have been cut or changef, but also some movies would work significantly less well without them

a lot of people have sex, and for many it's a big part of life and their relationships. anything that important irl should be represented in art

Which movie do you think has most benefited from a sex scene?

[–] GriffithDidNothingWrong@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It Follows. The sex being so awkward and uncomfortable made that movies point better than any dialogue could have

Considering what that movie is about I had kinda forgotten there were sex scenes.

???

The entire movie is about sex and fear of the social repercussions of sex

Second for second there's more running away from an invisible monster than sex so yeah

Its just a regular monster movie with one weird trick. Like smile or birdbox

Also it's not about STDs bc that's not how STDs work.

That invisible monster represents the negative repercussions of sex perceived from a teenager

No it does not. It could be hamfisted into being an std but you can't cure aids by setting up a zany swimming pool trap or fucking it away.

Its a dumb monster movie with sex sloppily laid on top. So sloppily that one could reasonably conclude it's pointlessly gratuitous.

no that's really silly the monsters in a movie can at once be metaphors and also literal monsters within the narrative in dracula the vampire both represents a horror from the old world come into the new and a scary dude that eats people

it's called a story having themes
