Any reason for the nudity?


I'm not a prude at all but in the film the night before the dive the female character is lying on the bed fully naked. From watching the scene I could not see any reason for this? Or is it just me?

Wow, 18 pages for a scene with boobs which i totally forgot even was in the movie when checking out the forums. You people have problems...

Phenomenal areola and surrounding area though...

Well you dont have to have sex just to lay in bed nude. she is a wonderful body and if she wants to lay in bed nude then nothing wrong with that in my book. wow what nice breasts and body. I sleep naked so i am always nude in my bed even if i am not having sex.

best bit of the film for me.

Agreed.

I believe pretty much every aspect of a movie must be there for a reason. They only reason for the nudity in this was to boost ratings.

If they had left it out it wouldn't have changed the movie one bit (except it wouldn't have had nudity). You could cut that scene from the movie and nobody would notice (except for not seeing nudity). So why have it? To have nudity so people will watch it.

I'd be pretty embarrassed to have that said of my movie if I wrote or directed it.

Yeah, you guys are idiots. My wife and I lounge around naked ALL THE TIME even if it's not before having sex. A lot of people do, and some don't. Don't disbelieve something just because you don't do it.

Perfect example-he AND his wife hang out nude...why did the guy in this and an avalanche of other flicks get to remain covered when the chick is showing it? Silly and offensive, totally disregarding female viewers who pay the same for their tickets. I no longer accept this b.s. double standard as the norm. The wooden acting in this though is almost as insulting.

I think it's purely a "I've always wanted to be a director so I can film naked chicks" thing. I'm familiar with the indy horror films in the Twin Cities and pretty much all of the films by these amateur directors include gratuitous nudity (always female). I was actually up for a part in a fan film associated with the Rob Zombie Halloween remake that involved me getting killed in just my panties. The director was bragging how it was going to be the only "officially approved" fan film, was going to be on the Halloween website, etc. etc. The audition included me stripping to my panties and the director video taping and taking photos of me while his wife made sure no one accidentally opened the door. A bunch of my other actor friends were supposed to be in it, too. Soon after the auditions, the guy just falls off the face of the earth and we never heard any more about it. What a scam!

whenever I get to see a beautiful woman lying on a bed naked I don't complain.

You are a prude.
