What are we talking about when we talk about porn?

Sex itself is a delicate thing, subtle enough to confuse countless people, subtle enough to complicate and contradict anything connected with it. And pornography just unfolds this contradiction nakedly. Others blush and enjoy it, but they are tortured by it. And it was this torture that turned Lovelace from a smash hit porn star to a staunch anti-porn feminist.

Don't deny that sex is always secret and "shameful", so that no matter how open this society becomes in the future, this "shame" feeling will always be buried in people's hearts. Lovelace's father told her on the phone that he watched her movie, and he couldn't believe that the heroine of the movie would be his daughter.

Pornography shows this kind of "shame" naked to the audience, and this contradiction and contrast stimulates the audience's eyes and sexual desire. For the parties involved, even if your "Deep Throat" only took 17 days to shoot, what can you do? In the eyes of others, you are just a Porn Star with a lot of people in the throat. Of course, this other person, including his own prostitute husband.

"Darling, after the orgasm, I think about money, not you."

That's how tragedy came about, and it seems like a no-brainer.

    Making this story into a biopic is a fresh and bold attempt, but it seems that the screenwriter of this film has a knack for "turning the magic into decay", which makes Amanda's hard-working performance look like most of the time. So tepid.

    Amanda is super beautiful

Lovelace quotes

  • Dorothy Boreman: God gave you a husband. He provides for you. And *you* - look at me - go home to Chuck. Be a good wife. Listen to him - and obey him.

  • Linda: He controlled everything. I never saw a penny. Not even after we moved to Malibu.
