Some time ago, I read the American porn tycoon's story "The People vs Larry Flynt", and compared with this "The Look of Love", they have many similarities, they are based on Real people, in the social atmosphere at the time, they all braved the world, but they all reaped huge wealth, and they all killed their favorite people because of drugs. One was a lover and the other was a daughter. Even the misfortunes are so similar. In terms of the film as a whole, the American version focuses on pornography, which is a part of human rights that cannot be trampled on, raising pornography to the height of human rights; the British version depicts Paul Raymond's tough personality, rambunctious personal life, deep father-daughter love, In terms of character creation, I think the British version is richer, and of course he is more controversial; in terms of the height of the concept, the American version will make people think more about the relationship between the standards of the pornography industry, individual rights and social order and good customs governance. .
What I want to ask here is, is it worthy of praise for the wealth that can accumulate great personal wealth but cater to or even create the vulgar desires of human beings (to be precise, men), such wealth that corrupts the social atmosphere? Although I do not deny that human beings have pornographic desires and needs, or else how could prostitutes become the most historical occupation of mankind, but excessive promotion of pornography and emphasizing its rationality and legitimacy may excavate the most filthy and unbearable desires of human beings , Take a look at the developed pornography industry in the United States and Japan. Isn't SM and other tricks developed from the pornography industry? Isn't the long-term imprisonment of sex slaves in reality not from the porn industry? These pornography bewitch the weak-willed. God is untestable. This sentence comes from the Bible. Likewise, man is untestable, because human beings themselves have insurmountable weaknesses. It is very dangerous to try to test the limit of man’s invincibility. In the same way, drugs are also dangerous and terrifying. You cannot test your limit of not being addicted with good self-control. Many things cannot be done in the first place.
I am not against pornography, but I am against pornography with no limit and no bottom line to satisfy the lustful desires of human beings. In this regard, Hong Kong and South Korea have done a better job, but they don't have to be thorough. The temptation does not mean opening the door, and it does not mean that they must surpass the sense of shame that has been formed by human beings for thousands of years. Level 3 is fine, but disgusting level 3 should still be limited.
Judging from the domestic situation, everyone can find foreign sources, but domestic films and magazines are really not allowed, it will be like Pandora's box, and it will be even more uncontrollable in the already corrupted social atmosphere.
Btw, Fiona played by Tamsin Egerton is beautiful.
