How do you feel about the huge invisible line between "porn" and "normal movies"?
I've always found it sort of strange that we draw such a distinction between movies about sex or that show sex in detail and others where sex is slightly less present. After all, sex is a huge incorporated part of normal life - so why so separate/different in film? We watch film to feel good, and directors have no problem putting in a love story or cute baby animals in mainstream movies because it elicits a positive reaction from viewers, so why is it that sex, which also triggers good feelings, can't cross over?
I guess these are really rhetorical questions that I feel like probably cross your mind frequently as someone in the business, so my real question is how do you feel about that divide?
