Plot keywords!?!

I haven't yet seen this film, so I thought I'd check the reviews and plot and so on. I must say that I am shocked by the plot keywords here on IMDb! Is there really nothing more to the film than male and female nudity? That's really it?

Now, I assume that there is more to it than that. I just thought it was a strange way to describe a relationship drama - for I guess that is a more accurate description? Or is it just me who have gotten it all wrong? Is there really that much nudity an nothing else???

Lol! I just laughed when I saw the plot keywords here on IMDB. It makes it looks like this is some kind of porno or something! Yes, it is a relationship drama and a good one at that. :)

Yes, Metroland is a relationship drama that deals frankly with the sex lives of the characters, so maybe to some people that makes it look like pornography. Yeah, IMDB needs to add some plot keywords or put the other keywords on the main page, ha! Well, at least you know you're going to see some nakedness here.

There's a lot of young people on the board who just want to see their favorite actor/actress nude, so they punch in keywords like that, which make these older, lesser known (at least in the USA) movies pop up. IOW, if you're looking for a particular thing (in this case, nudity), this movie comes up because it will satisfy that need. But it doesn't necessarily mean that's what the movie is about. Know what I mean?

In the case of Metroland, the sex is an important part of the story, but I would look to the "Plot Outline" or "Plot Synopsis" to see what the movie is about.

Umm...I'll think of one later.
