Nude Scene
OK, I am not sure if this is true or not or if its the same movie. My question is, does this movie have a nude scene of a boy? I don't want to get it if it does, any help would be great.
shareWhy not? Are you eight years old?
shareThe then eleven years old Mark Dightam appears nude and full frontal being bathed by his on screen mother in one scene, but it doesn't last longer than a minute or so.
shareYes, it's a non-sexual but extremely ugly scene. Seriously, that mother needed to be smacked stupid.
sharewhitespirit26...Why do you think it's an ugly scene? And the mother was just bathing the boy. Why do you think she 'needed to be smacked stupid'?
shareBecause you don't "just bathe a boy" of that age. Seriously?
shareMaybe they did at the time the film was set hundreds of years ago. I don't know if the scene was in the actual Shakespeare play that was written in the 16th century, though. In 1970, nudity was quite commonplace in films.
shareI don't think so and people had and still have tons of practices others find disgusting. And no, the mother certainly was not disrespecting her son in such a manner in the play. The scene was unnecessary, invasive and stupid, just like Lady Macbeth's exploitation. Shocking: she wasn't naked in the play either, and no lady's maid would have allowed her mistress to wander around like that with a man in the room. Polanski and his dirt.
shareOr maybe Shakespeare's play just wasn't as dirty as the play's age, and reality.
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
