00:19:40,866 --> 00:19:43,835 opposition was growing to such freedom of expression... 396 00:19:44,069 --> 00:19:45,866 and in 1934... 397 00:19:46,105 --> 00:19:47,766 after years of protests... 398 00:19:48,006 --> 00:19:50,941 the Catholic Legion of Decency stunned Hollywood... 399 00:19:51,176 --> 00:19:53,269 by threatening an industry boycott if 400 00:19:53,512 --> 00:19:55,912 studios didn't clamp down on sex 401 00:19:56,582 --> 00:19:59,779 The power they had rested in the fact that at Sunday mass... 402 00:20:00,052 --> 00:20:01,542 they could tell millions of the Catholics... 403 00:20:01,787 --> 00:20:04,881 that on pain of undermining their souI... 404 00:20:05,124 --> 00:20:09,185 they must not go to the most movies that the legion was condemning 405 00:20:10,129 --> 00:20:12,359 Studios had long turned a blind eye to... 406 00:20:12,598 --> 00:20:15,897 production code guidelines created in 1930... 407 00:20:16,135 --> 00:20:20,367 that were supposed to be

00:20:40,048 There had been a code 413 00:20:40,225 --> 00:20:43,422 But no one followed it untiI around 1934 414 00:20:43,662 --> 00:20:47,223 And that's when Hollywood decided to police itself rather than have... 415 00:20:47,566 --> 00:20:49,932 the powers-that-be come in and do it for them 416 00:20:50,335 --> 00:20:53,429 The code was now strictly enforced under the watch of... 417 00:20:53,672 --> 00:20:55,936 a Roman Catholic ex-newspaperman... 418 00:20:56,141 --> 00:20:57,836 named Joseph Breen 419 00:20:58,076 --> 00:21:01,068 SexuaI situations were now strictly forbidden

00:21:21,133 --> 00:21:23,158 to the world of exploitation movies... 429 00:21:23,402 --> 00:21:26,929 made on the cheap and thrown in fly-by-night screening venues 430 00:21:27,139 --> 00:21:28,766 But no one could keep sex out of... 431 00:21:29,007 --> 00:21:30,804 Hollywood films completely 432 00:21:31,043 --> 00:21:32,738 And despite the puritanicaI rules... 433 00:21:32,978 --> 00:21:34,275 of the production code... 434 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,744 moviemakers would find subversive ways... 435 00:21:36,982 --> 00:21:39,348 to keep sex alive on the big screen 436 00:21:42,221 --> 00:21:45,816 Here's the gorgeous, tantalizing lady Eve 437 00:21:46,124 --> 00:21:48,058 Now watch her go into action 438 00:21:48,293 --> 00:21:50,318 During the 1930s and 40s 439 00:21:50,529 --> 00:21:54,124 the rigid restrictions of censors couldn't stop Hollywood filmmakers 440 00:21:54,399 --> 00:21:56,367 from talking about sex 441 00:21:58,770 --> 00:22:03,173 Once filmmakers couldn't be as brazen in the way they treated sexuality... 442 00:22:03,408 --> 00:22:06,434 they actually got sneaky either with images or language 443 00:22:06,712 --> 00:22:07,337 So you

Harbor, 456 00:22:32,604 --> 00:22:34,196 US soldiers left their wives... 457 00:22:34,439 --> 00:22:39,103 and sweethearts to help crush the axis forces of Germany and Japan 458 00:22:39,344 -->

--> 00:23:04,263 the result was a generation of pinup superstars... 464 00:23:04,503 --> 00:23:08,530 whose widely circulated photos were even more sexually provocative... 465 00:23:08,807 --> 00:23:10,240 than their latest films 466 00:23:10,609 --> 00:23:13,009 Pinup pictures made such an influence on me that... 467 00:23:13,412 --> 00:23:16,404 I actually started hanging them... on my bedroom wall 468 00:23:16,748 --> 00:23:19,581 And it was an early act of rebellion in my home 469 00:23:20,185 --> 00:23:23,018 On movie screens actresses were becoming objectified as... 470 00:23:23,288 --> 00:23:25,119 symbols of desire... 471 00:23:25,424 --> 00:23:28,882 in the form of curvy pinup Queens like Betty Grable... 472 00:23:29,528 --> 00:23:30,688 Rita Hayworth 473

00:23:49,481 --> 00:23:50,880 seized headlines 480 00:23:51,116 --> 00:23:54,176 by casting Jane Russell in the western drama 481 00:23:54,419 --> 00:23:55,477 The Outlaw 482 00:23:55,721 --> 00:23:59,521 Censorship battles over the The Outlaw waged for two long years... 483 00:23:59,758 --> 00:24:03,956 before the film finally reached theaters in 1943 484 00:24:04,229 --> 00:24:06,789 Howard Hughes thumbed his nose at the code 485 00:24:06,999 --> 00:24:11,197 Joe Breen requested that 3/ separate breast shots of Jane Russell... 486 00:24:11,403 --> 00:24:12,301 be cut from the film 487 00:24:12,537 --> 00:24:15,165 He found it the most offensive thing he'd ever seen 488 00:24:15,507 --> 00:24:17,441 Look at that 489 00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:19,904 Hughes released the film, a judge said: 490 00:24:20,145 --> 00:24:22,340 Jane Russell's breasts hang over... 491 00:24:22,547 --> 00:24:24,947 the landscape like a thunderstorm 492 00:24:28,186 --> 00:24:32,748 And Hughes hired a

their husbands or fiancees 500 00:25:05,557 --> 00:25:08,583 Young women's sociaI liberation would come as a shock... 501 00:25:08,827 --> 00:25:10,624 for many returning Gls... 502 00:25:10,829 --> 00:25:15,630 whose sexuaI perspectives were also altered by years of extramaritaI affairs... 503 00:25:15,834 --> 00:25:17,267 in Europe and Asia 504 00:25:18,103 --> 00:25:18,933 During World War

00:35:58,171 And of myself 731 00:35:58,409 --> 00:35:59,376 Then why did you marry him? 732 00:35:59,610 --> 00:36:00,269 I didn't 733 00:36:00,611 --> 00:36:02,943 And he didn't marry me because he already had a wife 734 00:36:03,314 --> 00:36:04,906 He had a wife 735 00:36:06,684 --> 00:36:11,348 There were two abortions, one murder... 736 00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:16,617 successive rapes of a 14-year-old schooI girI by her stepfather 737 00:36:17,261 --> 00:36:18,888 About time I started teaching you something 738 00:36:19,130 --> 00:36:20,757 Lucas, Lucas, let me go... 739 00:36:20,965 --> 00:36:22,660 Lucas, get... 740 00:36:23,468 --> 00:36:25,026 I never had nothing I ever wanted 741 00:36:25,269 --> 00:36:26,736 Never had a beautifuI woman 742 00:36:32,009 --> 00:36:35,467 Peyton Place was really a shocker and a blockbuster 743 00:36:35,713 --> 00:36:37,340 Well, if any man would seriously ask me 744 00:36:37,582 --> 00:36:39,311 I'd run away and become his mistress 745 00:36:40,785 --> 00:36:43,948 Even Pedophilia became cinematic fair game... 746 00:36:44,188 --> 00:36:48,852 when director Stanley Kubrick pulled off the unthinkable in 1962... 747 00:36:49,093 --> 00:36:53,496 by filming Vladimir Nabokov's controversiaI noveI Lolita 748 00:36:53,831 --> 00:36:55,526 It was basically jailbait 749 00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,703 Even the presence of a subplot about a 15-year-old having sex with a grown man 750 00:37:01,038 --> 00:37:02,335 Would have been out of the question 751 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,200 Here it was the subject of the entire movie 752 00:37:05,410 --> 00:37:07,378 So it was quite revolutionary 753 00:37:07,845 --> 00:37:09,938 How did they ever make a movie of Lolita? 754 00:37:10,248 --> 00:37:11,237 How did they ever? 755 00:37:17,155 --> 00:37:21,990 But if American directors were getting bolder in depicting sexuaI desires... 756 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,624 Europeans weren't pushing the envelope 757 00:37:24,862 --> 00:37:26,693 they were setting it on fire 758 00:37:27,899 --> 00:37:31,096 Here is the drama of the life and loves of a young girI of today 759 00:37:33,037 --> 00:37:36,564 Tormented by the desires that sweep her from a lover she yearned for 760 00:37:37,175 --> 00:37:41,305 That blazing eroticism was epitomized in France's hottest export... 761 00:37:41,579 --> 00:37:43,171 since the statue of liberty... 762 00:37:43,414 --> 00:37:44,813 Brightte Bardot 763 00:37:46,684 --> 00:37:47,878 Stop laughing 764 00:37:50,988 --> 00:37:52,751 In Europe there is much more respect... 765 00:37:52,957 --> 00:37:56,017 for the mystique and allure of sexuaI woman 766 00:37:56,294 --> 00:37:59,388 And in point effect all of the great European art directors have... 767 00:37:59,797 --> 00:38:01,287 as kind of muse figures 768 00:38:01,532 --> 00:38:03,397 very, very glamorous women whether you're talking about... 769 00:38:03,668 --> 00:38:06,466 Jeanne Moreau or Catherine Deneuve 770 00:38:07,305 --> 00:38:08,863 If you touch me I'll kill you 771 00:38:09,106 --> 00:38:15,170 Greater glory bringing their raw sexuality to Hollywood 772 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,582 Among them were two Italians who exuded power and controI... 773 00:38:20,084 --> 00:38:22,917 Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren 774 00:38:29,794 --> 00:38:31,125 She was gorgeous 775 00:38:31,429 --> 00:38:32,396 She was glorious 776 00:38:32,697 --> 00:38:33,823 She was magnificent 777 00:38:34,065 --> 00:38:36,431 She was all the adjectives you could give her 778 00:38:41,506 --> 00:38:45,135 She was so full of sort of earthy qualities 779 00:38:48,646 --> 00:38:53,015 Juice of human, feminine, powerfuI... 780 00:38:53,284 --> 00:38:54,979 seductive woman 781 00:38:55,253 --> 00:38:57,414 Everyone became aware of her 782 00:38:57,989 --> 00:39:00,219 But even Loren and Lollobrigida... 783 00:39:00,424 --> 00:39:02,085 were overshadowed in Hollywood... 784 00:39:02,326 --> 00:39:06,956 by a former MGM starlet once known for squeaky-clean film roles 785 00:39:07,265 --> 00:39:09,631 I don't mind making a fooI of myself over you 786 00:39:11,769 --> 00:39:14,932 Elizabeth Taylor's absolutely unique and profound beauty... 787 00:39:15,206 --> 00:39:18,835 which was at peak during Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and... 788 00:39:19,110 --> 00:39:20,338 Suddenly, Last Summer 789 00:39:20,711 --> 00:39:24,579 It was really the key to hyping of sexuality 790 00:39:24,849 --> 00:39:27,443 which was all ready plenty overheated by Tennessee Williams... 791 00:39:27,752 --> 00:39:29,344 in the originaI materiaI 792 00:39:29,587 --> 00:39:31,953 But it was made contemporary and... 793 00:39:32,189 --> 00:39:35,090 exceedingly palatable simply by her beauty 794 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,359 In 1960, Taylor took on her most explicitly erotic role so far 795 00:39:41,699 --> 00:39:45,191 Playing a high-priced call girI, Butterfield 8 796 00:39:45,636 --> 00:39:49,128 The performance netted Taylor her first academy award 797 00:39:49,340 --> 00:39:50,739 Now look, you have a price 798 00:39:51,409 --> 00:39:53,707 We all have and I can go pretty high 799 00:39:55,746 --> 00:39:58,681 Command performances leave me quite cold 800 00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:01,780 I've had more fun in the backseat of a 39 Ford... 801 00:40:02,019 --> 00:40:04,453 than I could ever have in the vault of the Chase NationaI Bank 802 00:40:06,424 --> 00:40:08,085 For me, the great image of her standing 803 00:40:08,326 --> 00:40:09,884 in a white slip from Butterfield 8 804 00:40:10,127 --> 00:40:12,322 communicates much more than lets say... 805 00:40:12,597 --> 00:40:14,656 MeryI Streep can communicate by language 806 00:40:14,932 --> 00:40:17,230 A good night sleep will be the best thing for you 807 00:40:17,935 --> 00:40:21,268 But Butterfield 8 was just a warm-up for Elizabeth Taylor... 808 00:40:21,505 --> 00:40:24,497 who was about to shake up America with a sandaI... 809 00:40:24,809 --> 00:40:27,403 that entered the realm of Hollywood legend 810 00:40:30,181 --> 00:40:35,312 By 1962, the Hollywood Hays code was on its last shaky legs 811 00:40:35,553 --> 00:40:39,250 Trembling before the might of Europe's sexually charged cinema 812 00:40:40,091 --> 00:40:42,025 J.F.K was in the White House 813 00:40:42,460 --> 00:40:44,860 The rat pack was swinging on movie screens... 814 00:40:45,096 --> 00:40:46,757 and on the stages of Vegas 815 00:40:46,998 --> 00:40:50,559 And as American males traded Playboy's latest party jokes... 816 00:40:50,801 --> 00:40:52,393 two Hollywood stars... 817 00:40:52,470 --> 00:40:54,768 Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton... 818 00:40:55,039 --> 00:40:58,440 were helping to bring down the censor's wall of Jericho 819 00:40:58,709 --> 00:41:00,006 You will kneeI 820 00:41:00,344 --> 00:41:01,504 I will what? 821 00:41:02,046 --> 00:41:03,741 On your knees 822 00:41:04,749 --> 00:41:07,479 Cleopatra had started as a biblicaI epic... 823 00:41:07,718 --> 00:41:09,413 in the tradition of Ben-hur 824 00:41:09,620 --> 00:41:14,614 But production was overshadowed by one of the biggest sex scandals of 1960s 825 00:41:16,060 --> 00:41:19,962 Taylor and Burton's infamous, extramaritaI romance on the set 826 00:41:20,331 --> 00:41:23,664 There was just a sensation worldwide over this 827 00:41:27,638 --> 00:41:29,333 They were on every magazine cover... 828 00:41:29,573 --> 00:41:30,699 every newspaper 829 00:41:37,314 --> 00:41:39,612 Congressmen in the United States got into it 830 00:41:39,850 --> 00:41:41,511 The Pope got into it 831 00:41:41,619 --> 00:41:43,917 The Vatican got into the act saying that she was a bad influence... 832 00:41:44,221 --> 00:41:45,313 on the world in generaI and that... 833 00:41:45,623 --> 00:41:47,523 her children should be take away from her 834 00:41:47,925 --> 00:41:51,383 But a scandaI that would have destroyed most actresses' careers 835 00:41:51,629 --> 00:41:54,393 Only fueled the flames of Taylor's fandom 836 00:41:54,899 --> 00:41:56,491 The more the world gossiped... 837 00:41:56,767 --> 00:41:59,292 the more successfuI Cleopatra became 838 00:41:59,537 --> 00:42:02,301 Making it the 1st Hollywood blockbuster to benefit from... 839 00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:05,134 its stars' off-screen indiscretions 840 00:42:10,981 --> 00:42:13,381 Not to be outdone by Elizabeth Taylor... 841 00:42:13,584 --> 00:42:17,748 Marilyn Monroe sought to push the Queen of the Nile off her throne... 842 00:42:17,988 --> 00:42:20,650 by baring all before the Hollywood cameras 843 00:42:24,962 --> 00:42:27,897 Come on, the water's so refreshing 844 00:42:29,033 --> 00:42:31,092 You know, after you finish doing... 845 00:42:34,405 --> 00:42:36,566 We had a bodysuit for her... 846 00:42:36,974 --> 00:42:39,033 where you look nude in the water 847 00:42:39,410 --> 00:42:41,878 And after two, three takes she just tore it off 848 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,506 And did it, did it without anything else on 849 00:42:50,421 --> 00:42:52,719 Norma get back, get back 850 00:42:55,392 --> 00:42:59,829 The notion of a nude Marilyn on the big screen had tantalized moviegoers... 851 00:43:00,064 --> 00:43:04,125 ever since the release of her infamous calendar pose a decade earlier 852 00:43:05,136 --> 00:43:10,039 But ironically, that image would never reach screens during the 1960s 853 00:43:10,241 --> 00:43:10,673 Cut 854 00:43:10,941 --> 00:43:13,239 Filming on the comedy, Something Got to Give... 855 00:43:13,477 --> 00:43:18,039 was never finished before Marilyn's mysterious death from a drug overdose 856 00:43:18,849 --> 00:43:20,874 Nudity for Marilyn Monroe... 857 00:43:21,152 --> 00:43:23,586 always represented a certain form of freedom 858 00:43:24,388 --> 00:43:27,323 One should credit her with a whole change in attitude... 859 00:43:27,525 --> 00:43:29,390 in the pop culture related to nudity 860 00:43:32,329 --> 00:43:34,490 The year of Marilyn's passing also... 861 00:43:34,732 --> 00:43:37,394 saw the arrivaI of a new sexuaI icon 862 00:43:37,668 --> 00:43:39,397 I have to leave immediately 863 00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:41,934 Just as things were getting interesting 864 00:43:47,411 --> 00:43:50,903 1962 was the year of Dr. No 865 00:43:51,115 --> 00:43:53,106 The first big screen bow for author... 866 00:43:53,384 --> 00:43:56,581 Ian Felming's high-living secret agent Bond 867 00:43:56,821 --> 00:43:58,015 James Bond 868 00:43:59,423 --> 00:44:03,757 For someone to become a sex symboI of true internationaI impact... 869 00:44:03,994 --> 00:44:05,757 they have to appeaI to both sexes 870 00:44:05,996 --> 00:44:08,794 Women like Sean Connery, man like Sean Connery 871 00:44:11,101 --> 00:44:14,070 Sean Connery as James Bond in... 872 00:44:14,338 --> 00:44:15,862 Thunder Ball 873 00:44:18,509 --> 00:44:20,500 As played by Sean Connery... 874 00:44:20,744 --> 00:44:24,874 James Bond was the epitome of sexuaI virility and power 875 00:44:26,016 --> 00:44:29,383 And the Bond series with its seductive bevy of beauties... 876 00:44:29,587 --> 00:44:34,320 became one of the 1960s most alluring, worldwide phenomena 877 00:44:34,758 --> 00:44:35,622 If you were a Bond girI... 878 00:44:35,893 --> 00:44:36,757 you were sort of like hot... 879 00:44:37,161 --> 00:44:39,026 the hot new, you

00:44:57,214 --> 00:45:01,742 The films of Alfred Hitchcock had always been packed with sexuaI innuendo 884 00:45:01,952 --> 00:45:04,147 And some would say perversity 885 00:45:05,623 --> 00:45:09,286 In 1964, Hitchcock tapped Sean Connery... 886 00:45:09,493 --> 00:45:13,657 to help full of his most controversiaI movie yet, Marnie 887 00:45:13,998 --> 00:45:18,025 Marnie is about a woman who steals compulsively... 888 00:45:18,269 --> 00:45:21,363 in response to her sexuaI frigidity 889 00:45:21,605 --> 00:45:24,472 Getting power over men by stealing from them 890 00:45:25,342

00:45:47,798 --> 00:45:49,265 So it made the movie, actually... 897 00:45:49,533 --> 00:45:50,830 work tremendously well 898 00:45:51,035 --> 00:45:54,004 You know when he gets a good head of steam

00:46:09,609 During the mid 1960s... 902 00:46:09,820 --> 00:46:13,586 the recently married duo of Elizabeth Taylor and RichardBurton... 903 00:46:13,824 --> 00:46:17,555 were also teaming for a series of sexually charged films 904 00:46:18,495 --> 00:46:22,158 It culminated in the most acclaimed movie of their career 905 00:46:22,833 --> 00:46:25,893 Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf? 906

America along with the producers and distributors... 940 00:47:58,295 --> 00:48:00,126 of films in this country have worked out... 941 00:48:00,697 --> 00:48:03,393 an advisory system of movie ratings 942 00:48:04,435 --> 00:48:07,768 By 196/, a new sexuaI morality was... 943 00:48:08,005 --> 00:48:10,530 sweeping both America and Hollywood 944 00:48:11,041 --> 00:48:13,407 Censorship was being swept aside... 945 00:48:13,644 --> 00:48:16,545 in an era of rebellion against the Vietnam war... 946 00:48:16,814 --> 00:48:18,839 and authority of any kind 947 00:48:19,116 --> 00:48:23,246 The 60s

thanks to a new movie rating system 953 00:48:38,502 --> 00:48:41,960 The PG-rating in a picture is a speciaI alert for parents 954 00:48:42,439 --> 00:48:44,737 That means that the film contains some materiaI... 955 00:48:44,975 --> 00:48:48,706 which you as a parent may possibly find unsuitable for your children 956 00:48:48,946 --> 00:48:50,106 Hump the hostess 957 00:48:50,314 --> 00:48:51,406

barred 960 00:49:04,094 --> 00:49:07,325 Again, you have to decide whether you want your children... 961 00:49:07,564 --> 00:49:09,464 to see such a film under those conditions 962 00:49:09,867 --> 00:49:15,430 The X-rating of course is reserved for films that are totally adult in content 963 00:49:15,672 --> 00:49:16,366 Oh, my God 964 00:49:17,274 --> 00:49:18,707 Well, that's the rating

00:49:28,485 --> 00:49:30,043 Under the old Hays code... 968 00:49:30,254 --> 00:49:33,485 adultery was a deadly sin that never went unpunished 969 00:49:33,891 --> 00:49:37,622 But in the 196/ comedy, A Guide for the Married Man... 970 00:49:37,861 --> 00:49:40,887 many of Hollywood's most famous faces indulged in... 971 00:49:41,131 --> 00:49:44,362 the once forbidden act with gleefuI

of gothic horror and suggestive sexuality 1271 01:04:31,421 --> 01:04:35,187 Now the Hammer formula broadened to include skin... 1272 01:04:35,425 --> 01:04:37,586 and more explicit eroticism 1273 01:04:37,794 --> 01:04:39,853 The first ones were very sort of... 1274 01:04:40,530 --> 01:04:42,327 They were more naughty sexy 1275 01:04:42,632 --> 01:04:43,758 Take her with you 1276 01:04:44,233

1340 01:08:16,746 --> 01:08:19,146 when it was used by the secret Whitehouse informer... 1341 01:08:19,382 --> 01:08:21,407 who blew the lid off water gate 1342 01:08:21,617 --> 01:08:25,053 Deep Throat was the subject of Johnny Carson jokes 1343 01:08:25,288 --> 01:08:27,153 Ed McMahon would pull up in a limousine 1344 01:08:27,390 --> 01:08:29,688 Jack Nicholson could be seen going to see

would-be filmmakers jumped on the adult movie bandwagon 1348 01:08:40,836 --> 01:08:43,634 Hollywood was now competing and sometimes... 1349 01:08:43,873 --> 01:08:46,398 blown away by hardcore porn 1350 01:08:46,776 --> 01:08:48,004 Deep Throat was the rage... 1351 01:08:48,277 --> 01:08:49,403 and Behind the Green Door... 1352 01:08:49,679 --> 01:08:52,443 I believe was the rage and everybody

the next few years, celebrity and sexuality went hand-in-hand 1358 01:09:14,770 --> 01:09:16,931 As stars stripped down for the camera... 1359 01:09:17,173 --> 01:09:20,631 and celebrated in the

01:09:30,844 a kind of celebration that certainly had its excesses 1363 01:09:31,554 --> 01:09:33,419 But when you talk about the sexuaI revolution... 1364 01:09:33,689 --> 01:09:34,917 it was the time of Eden 1365 01:09:39,762 --> 01:09:42,754 That Anything Goes sexuality was also reflected... 1366 01:09:42,998 --> 01:09:45,626 in the androgynous world of rock and roll 1367 01:09:46,035 -->

01:12:12,703 moviegoers were shocked and outraged by a film... 1412 01:12:12,915 --> 01:12:15,315 whose award-winning cast was overshadowed... 1413 01:12:15,518 --> 01:12:18,487 by a non-stop barrage

01:26:33,375 --> 01:26:34,967 the motion picture ratings board... 1702 01:26:35,210 --> 01:26:39,909 which slapped Verhoeven's originaI edit of the film with an NC-1/ rating 1703 01:26:41,015 --> 01:26:44,507 NC-1/ had recently replaced the dreaded X... 1704 01:26:44,786 --> 01:26:46,913 in an effort to allow serious filmmakers... 1705 01:26:47,188 --> 01:26:48,985 to explore adult materiaI... 1706 01:26:49,257 --> 01:26:51,885 without the stigma of a rating linked to porn 1707 01:26:52,127 --> 01:26:56,393 Hollywood had invented a rating system that was psychotic 1708 01:26:57,298 --> 01:26:59,858 You could show violence 1709 01:27:00,101 --> 01:27:01,398 You couldn't show sex 1710 01:27:01,636 --> 01:27:03,331 And it was quite succinct 1711 01:27:03,571 --> 01:27:05,436 You could show someone cutting off a breast 1712 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,131 But you could not show a hand touching a breast 1713 01:27:08,543 --> 01:27:12,240 But NC-1/ quickly became a box office kiss of death... 1714 01:27:12,447 --> 01:27:14,278 after the failure of Henry & June 1715 01:27:14,516 --> 01:27:17,451 The first film branded with the NC-1/ rating 1716 01:27:17,619 --> 01:27:18,517 They can calling it NC-1/ 1717 01:27:18,787 --> 01:27:19,219 They can call it X 1718 01:27:19,521 --> 01:27:20,283 They can call it unrated 1719 01:27:20,588 --> 01:27:22,681 They can call it M for mature audiences... 1720 01:27:23,024 --> 01:27:23,752 only whatever they call it 1721 01:27:23,992 --> 01:27:26,017 That's going to scared too many theater owners 1722 01:27:27,395 --> 01:27:28,384 Ironically... 1723 01:27:28,596 --> 01:27:32,157 the era of the X rating made a comeback in 199/... 1724 01:27:32,367 --> 01:27:34,494 at least as movie subject matter 1725 01:27:34,869 --> 01:27:36,803 Boogie Nights was loosely based on... 1726 01:27:37,038 --> 01:27:39,131 the story of porn star John Holmes 1727 01:27:39,407 --> 01:27:43,207 The film showed characters on an empty quest for sex and money 1728 01:27:43,411 --> 01:27:45,174 But never romantic love 1729 01:27:46,981 --> 01:27:51,918 Sex as a joyless dead end was also the subject of director Ang Lee's drama 1730 01:27:52,153 --> 01:27:53,245 The Ice Storm 1731 01:27:53,521 --> 01:27:54,852 Set like Boogie Nights... 1732 01:27:55,056 --> 01:27:57,547 in the not so swinging 19/Os 1733 01:27:57,926 -->

a bowI... 1737 01:28:04,933 --> 01:28:07,868 and at the end of the evening the women lineup and fish them out... 1738 01:28:08,069 --> 01:28:10,060 and whoever's they got they go home with 1739 01:28:10,438 --> 01:28:11,496 We try to be hip 1740 01:28:11,706 --> 01:28:13,173 We try to be open-minded 1741 01:28:13,608 --> 01:28:15,838 But we're not quite equipped to that 1742 01:28:16,110 --> 01:28:18,578 There's a limitation on how much you want to liberate it 1743 01:28:18,780 --> 01:28:22,341 There's a certain nature that sort of conserve and hold you back 1744 01:28:23,551 --> 01:28:24,518 Would you care to play 1745 01:28:25,587 --> 01:28:26,679 New this year 1746 01:28:28,857 --> 01:28:30,518 It's strictly volunteer, of course 1747 01:28:33,461 --> 01:28:37,397 Sex was also a deadly game in the disturbing fact-based drama 1748 01:28:37,632 --> 01:28:38,894 Boys Don't Cry 1749 01:28:39,467 --> 01:28:41,731 Hilary Swank earned an academy award... 1750 01:28:41,970 --> 01:28:43,335 playing Brandon Teena... 1751 01:28:43,538 --> 01:28:48,737 a sexually confused female who poses and seduces as a man 1752 01:28:49,310 --> 01:28:51,369 I didn't really think of making love as a man 1753 01:28:51,679 --> 01:28:55,080 I was trying to think of making love from a souI to a souI 1754 01:28:55,283 --> 01:28:57,547 You know, from a human being 1755 01:29:01,789 --> 01:29:03,723 I was just so emotionally raw 1756 01:29:04,025 --> 01:29:05,856 And so in a lot of the scenes... 1757 01:29:06,060 --> 01:29:08,085 I had to disconnect that this happened to somebody 1758 01:29:08,530 --> 01:29:09,326 You fucking pervert 1759 01:29:09,564 --> 01:29:10,997 Are you a girI are you not? 1760 01:29:11,733 --> 01:29:13,667 Are you a girI are you not? 1761 01:29:13,902

--> 01:29:49,828 Hollywood was ready to let its hair down 1770 01:29:50,038 --> 01:29:53,769 As filmmakers put celebration back into sex 1771 01:30:01,115 --> 01:30:02,742 By the late 1990s... 1772 01:30:02,984 --> 01:30:05,885 sexuaI attitudes across America were sparking yet... 1773 01:30:06,120 --> 01:30:08,884 another erotic revolution on movie screens 1774 01:30:09,424 --> 01:30:12,860

01:30:44,986 are hotter now than ever before 1785 01:30:45,293 --> 01:30:48,057 I think a part of it is the fact that... 1786 01:30:48,329 --> 01:30:53,631 a new generation grew up in the shadow of the moraI majority... 1787 01:30:53,868 --> 01:30:54,994 politicaI correctness 1788 01:30:55,236 --> 01:30:57,602 Even in the age of Viagra and the condom... 1789 01:30:57,839 --> 01:31:00,672 sex
