I'd like this a lot more if there was no face. A snake in the shape of an apple is symbolism enough, the face just muddles it all up.

Same. A snake forming an apple shape, or a skinned apple where the skin makes a snake shape, is a pretty solid symbol for the concept of "temptation".

It doesn't need anything else.

Also Franco basically playing poo poo-rapper RiFF RaFF is amazing.

All the poster had to say was "A Film By Harmony Korine" for me to never want to see it.

The film is a damning comment on a whole generation. It's dirty & uncomfortable (lot's of SPRING BREAAAAAK tits, drug use & Britney Spears) - but it has the new The Rock (Jeff Jarrett) & some great comedic beats, Franco is great. He even hits out with a Crazy Eyes line from Curb Your Enthusiasm. I liked it a lot.

Elijah Wood gets caught jerking it to Sasha Grey porn and hunts down the bastard who filmed him?

In the movie, Wood plays a man who is obsessed with an actress (Grey). When she gets abducted, he goes on a mission to find her. Everything in the movie will be seen through a laptop.
Oh. Well, I was with it until the laptop part.

Not in my opinion but apparently some people like her. She seems like a nice person. I wouldn't disqualify her for acting jobs just because she was in porn. I don't think she should be in a movie with Elijah Wood, but what do I know? I'm not that fond of Meryl Streep either.

Elijah Wood has probably made so much Lord of the Rings money that someone will throw a batshit idea like POV REMAKE OF MANIAC or HOW ABOUT YOU STAR IN A MOVIE WITH SASHA GREY and he suddenly remembers that he can get to do whatever he wants and loving takes it.

Well someone offered him a role as a cannibalistic creeper in Sin City and he took that, and I believe that was before Lord of the Rings.

He was fantastic in that role though, probably the best thing he's ever done :v:

Also she is an empty, soulless husk of a human being which is sad. That and I can't help my suspension of disbelief being affected just a bit when I've watched the lead actress get meat-holed in the most degrading ways known to man.

What are you basing these "soulless husk" accusations off of? You've masturbated to her so now she can't be anything but a sex object to you?

kiimo
Jul 24, 2003

Can we please not get sanctimonious? I have not masturbated to her mostly because I find her repulsive but that doesn't matter because I'm talking about the few times I've watched her act.


In fact several reviews have alluded to her disconnect and he absence and how this worked in The Girlfriend Experience...

quote:

Grey has the look. She is a young woman, in her early 20s, but the porn star look is already coming into focus on her face. It's a hard look, but with a strange element of stupefaction. It's a look that can imitate innocence, until you look in the eyes. They're the eyes of someone who has figured out it's all a joke, but is beginning to wonder if she's the butt of it. It's the face of someone whose youthful exuberance seems about two or three shocks away from devolving into empty high spirits or bitter cynicism.

Of course, Grey could simply be acting, in which case Soderbergh chose the ideal actress to play a call girl - someone who can seem affectless and detached, even while suggesting that, underneath the surface, something may be seriously skewed in her psychological makeup. Grey is also very likable, if only because she seems so vulnerable. One of the classic mistakes of youth is to assume that once you know all about sex, you know all about life, that you've uncovered the prime mover in human affairs. Grey plays the call girl as a well-dressed kid who is a lot more confident than she should be.



quote:


Chelsea is played by Sasha Grey. She is 21. Since 2006, according to IMDb, she's made 161 porn films, of which only the first title can be quoted here: "Sasha Grey Superslut." No, here's another, which makes me smile: "My First Porn #7." I haven't seen any of them, but now I would like to see one, watching very carefully, to see if she suggests more than one level.

Grey wasn't hired because of her willingness to have sex onscreen; there's no explicit sex in the movie and only fleeting nudity. I suspect Soderbergh cast her because of her mercenary approach to sex -- and her acting talent, which may not be ready for Steppenwolf but is right for this film. She owns her own agency and Web site, manages other actresses, has a disconnect between herself and what she does for a living. So does Chelsea.

The film is intent on her face. It often looks over the shoulder of her clients. She projects precise amounts of interest and curiosity, but conceals real feelings.

Studies show that porn actors and actresses find more fulfillment in life than the majority of the rest of the population; it stands to reason that very successful porn actresses would be far from "soulless husks." Also, getting meatholed on camera is empowering to some.

I'm not trying to preach at you, you're entitled to your opinion (I've actually never seen her act). But it's one thing to call her a bad actor, and another to drat her as a person for getting hosed on camera in ways you find disgusting. So she sold her body to a horrifically exploitative industry for a couple years, how is this different from, let alone worse than, any Hollywood actor?
