Genitals
I was shocked in this movie that kate winslet's genital region is depicted on the screen whereas harvey keital's were blocked by shadows. harvey keital has shown his in previous movies, so i don't think it's an issue of an actor not wanting to be exposed. i've read that the director is a feminist. what are feminist politics of sex organ depiction in film? in this movie, it seems like kate winslet's character exposed genital region was an expression of vulnerability. would it not make sense to have shown harvey keitel's genital region as well? of course the film shows him crawling on the ground in female costume as vulnerability. i just don't get it, the movie seems to be validating misogynist movie making principals ie men are spared from having their genitals exposed, femininity is belittled in scenes with men in drag...
