"Does Nudity in Film Offend You?"

Only all of the female parts.

Nah, how else would I have seen Patti LuPone's... er... Patti-cakes!

In all seriousness, nudity never offends me. At all. I'm completely unfazed by nudity in real life or movies, I just don't see any problem with it.

Only when its male, female, bring it on.

On the subject of Borat, I really thought that scene kind of ruined to movie for me. Just disgusting, and unnessasary

I'm usually not offended by alot of things in movies, but it depends. Like, I'm not offend if a guy and a girl go nude and start making out, but that scene in Borat with the two of them fighting in the hotel nude and seeing the fat guy's area(I forget his name), just disturbed me.

Ahmelie, I would like to think that I share your sentiment, but in reality, certain situations in film with nudity do make me uncomfortable. I'm not sure thats the same as offending me though - I mean in particular scenes I feel like nudity is sometimes used to make you think about something, like why its even being used, or what it means for the character to be exposed that way, etc. The scene in American Beauty, for example, when Kevin Spacey almost has sex with his daughter's friend and it shows him undressing her- really really made me uncomfortable and almost angry - I thought it was unnecessary. Then I thought, "well maybe I'm supposed to feel kind of queasy by the idea that he was almost going to go through with this"

so its a thin line sometimes, I think
