I found this film by chance from Tencent Video, and I was very happy after watching it. It is a film that reflects the changes in people's attitudes towards sex. The film uses an interview with Professor Kinsey himself as a clue, recalling Professor Kinsey's exploration of sexuality in his life. Whether it's his own, or his wife, assistant, father, people around him, all did interviews. Mr. Kinsey's attitude towards sex is scientific, and he is not bound by ignorant traditional concepts, rigid laws and regulations, or religious beliefs with political interests. There are many times in the film when he disagreed with the people around him, such as when he was a child, his father couldn't understand that he liked biology, the hygiene teacher believed that sex should not be discussed openly and should be abstinent, customs fought with him, the Rockefeller Foundation His research is no longer funded, society is talking about him, and the harassment affects his and his family's normal life. Professor Kinsey is very courageous. He faces all the problems he encounters. He doesn't know the answers to the sexual questions he doesn't know. He responds to others' doubts about him one by one. Respond and explain them. There is a disagreement in the film, which is whether sex is separated. Judging from the character set in the film, it is inferred that Professor Kinsey himself supports the separation of sex. However, most people do not support it. If you don't understand this, you may question whether the protagonist is still on the road of science, or whether he is obsessed with martial arts.
The film is also interspersed with some ethical thinking, just like Kinsey himself supports the separation of sex, so whether ethics should continue to constrain people, and whether marriage should still constrain people. The film does not respond to this question, but only shows the attitude of that era. This is very rare, after all, such a topic is still being discussed today, and the main body of the film is still about Kinsey's exploratory path, not a comment.
Kinsey also questioned himself very much in the second half when he was unable to continue his research without financial support. He feels like he has done nothing, he wants to change the law, constitution and state legislation, he doesn't want to be used by political parties (like finding homosexuality in the House of Representatives), he wants to rescue normal people who have been convicted of sex crimes, he wants laws Sanctioning sexual assault, trying to distinguish between self-harm and sexual abuse. Until a woman came to tell him that her life had changed because of his book, the world had changed a lot, and everything he had done had deeply affected the world. This gave Professor Kinsey his confidence.
At the end of the film, Professor Kinsey and his wife are walking in the forest. Just like the beginning of his childhood in the film, he is fascinated by every animal and plant in the forest, and has always insisted on doing something with a scientific attitude.
The way the film is shot is also very unique. For example, the hygiene teacher appeared in the class later, his wife and him sat further away after a break, and his assistant sat closer, using these to reflect the inner changes of the characters and the characters kinship between them.
I have to admit that the acting skills of the actors are very good. You can see the obsession with sex or love in their eyes. This distinction is still very obvious.
From the point of view of the history of sexuality, Professor Kinsey undoubtedly created a precedent. His research on sex and his scientific attitude towards sex inspired countless future generations. The Kinsey Report on Sexology is undoubtedly a work and a milestone in the history of sexology. Although later people also found some of these errors, sexologist Heidi published a "Heidi Sexology Report", which is currently recognized as a more comprehensive and factual research on sexology, with strong readability. Books for the general public. Friends who are interested or confused can take a look.
Viewers who watch this film may have a better understanding of this film if they have received normal sex education, or have an objective attitude towards sex. If you don't know enough about some common sense of sexology, or your attitude toward sexology is still more restrained, I hope you can embrace the new world.
