In Reply to: Kevin... Question about Sexual Issues in movies posted by Rolando aka Ro on March 19, 1998 at 22:12:25:
: It seems to me that two of the best filmss of the year were overlooked in big ways by the Academy this year: 'Chasing Amy' and 'Boogies Nights' and from what I hear, 'The Ice Storm' as well). I can't help but noticing that all these filmss deal heavily with sexual situations (obviously not so much nudity and graphic representation of sex, but more the discussion of sexual matters). I feel that as the general public comes to accept these situations in films, the Academy and other such 'authorities' in film seem to want to forget them or not bring them up. What are your feelings on the subject, in general (I understand you may not want to get to specific because one of the movies is your own and you may not want to seem biased)? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
