Isn't she too old for naked scenes?


Don't you think that Sandra Bullock should have undressed 20 years ago and not now when she is 45 years old?

She is FAR too old for such scenes now. It's the right time for her to play mothers of teenagers rather than single young ladies looking for a husband! Searching for lost youth is pathetic.

!. She was 43 at the time.
2. she's HOT.
3. She's playing a woman in her 30's (closer to 40).
4. See #2

1. Exactly. Far too old for the role.
2. Yes, she is hot for her age but only for her age. You cannot cheat time. A 45-year-old woman should not undress in front of a camera. It's neither aesthetic nor tasteful. And as I said before, she should have done this (play in a naked scene) 20 years ago. If she decided not to do that, she should not change her decision now, when it's too late.
3. A 35-year-old actress (or younger), I don't know who exactly but it does not matter, would make this movie much better.

Thanks to jerks such as yourself "ageism" is rampant in our society.
When chronology is the dominant criteria major talent is simply wasted and/or confined to the trashbin.

I suppose that you also disagree with Diane Keaton & Kathy Bates getting their gear off in "Somethings Gotta Give" & "About Schmidt" respectively despite the fact that both those scenes were hilarious and highly relevant to the plot development.

You seem like a narrow-minded person. First of all, who are YOU to dictate to others what is deemed appropriate in terms of age and nudity in films? I'm not even going to speculate how old you are because it doesn't matter. You're entitled to your opinion; however, Sandra Bullock looks better than many women half her age. My boyfriend and I have seen this movie many times now because we thought it was so funny. He's mentioned on many occasions how beautiful she is. (NOT HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE "WAS" 20 YEARS AGO, AS YOUR POST SUGGESTS.) I guess the "operative" word here would be "IS".

Also, what exactly do you mean by this: she is "only hot for HER AGE" crap? I mean, give me a break. You're either hot, or you're not. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with age! Nothing! I don't think she's trying to cheat time either. Maybe she's been blessed with incredibly good genes.

The entire idea behind the movie is that she be older than Andrew. Did ya miss this point? So, how do you figure she's far too old for the role, or for partial nude scenes? You suggest a 35 year old actress (or younger)?????? Hello!?!!!! Again, she's SUPPOSED to be older than Andrew. Would you have preferred they cast an actress Reece Witherspoon's age? Nothing against her, but it WOULDN'T have worked with an actress 35 or younger. And, that's the whole point!

Finally, exactly how is her partial nudity aesthetically lacking? How is it not deemed tasteful for a 40 + to do nude scenes? You never "really" explained that, other than your extremely narrow-minded view of OLDER women and their sex appeal, or lack of. Wonder what YOU look like? Well, never mind, I really don't want to know.

I guess the "double-standard" still applies to any woman over 40, well, at least in your extremely narrow-minded opinion. Or, are you simply just "trying" to be contrary? Hummmm........... JMHO...........Thanks!.............fp

Even if you think onscreen nudity is only for the purpose of exhibiting a "perfect" (larger breasts, maybe), young, taut body, you are wrong, evidenced by the overwhelming number of posters saying so here. Thing is, it wasn't even for that purpose. It was for the purpose of engaging the audience in the situation of being discovered naked. Her character was not "undressing in front of a camera". Her character was unintentionally exposed to the protagonist (Andrew) and appropriate modesty was expressed. It was very well shot.

I can't figure whether you are an ultra-prude, stifled male or an envious, anal-retentive female.

You're obviously gay so IDK why your opinion would matter anyway.

reply

I think you shouldn't post until 20 years from now, when hopefully you may have gained just a little wisdom.

See you in 2029...

That will make him 25! . Think there's hope?

To quote Sam the Eagle from THE MUPPET SHOW.

"Everyone is naked under their clothes".

Overall The Proposal was a pretty bad movie - but this sequence was funny. well acted and well shot.

She did: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/942934/sandra_bullock_fire_on_the_amazon_hot_scene/

>>> She is FAR too old for such scenes now.

Nope. She's still hot, not just for a 40-year old.

reply

She looks stunning - even without any reference to 'for her age'.

reply

Like another poster said, I thought she looked smokin' hot, for any age. In fact, I think she looks a lot sexier now than she did before. Before, she looked too cute. Age has ripened her a bit, at least in my opinion.

reply

She is hot!!!!

reply

I looked hard at those scenes, close up, and you could never see the face well when she was naked so it may have been a body double. I do believe Sandra doesn't do nude scenes, but I could be wrong.

She looked great in this movie compared to a very skinny Sandra in "All About Steve". She looked anorexic in that one, I suppose for the part.

reply

According to Sandra & Ryan they did not have stand-ins.

This thread is seriously retarded.

Amen to that. "A 45-year-old woman should not undress in front of a camera. It's neither aesthetic nor tasteful." LOL! ...Why the hell not? How stupid.

reply

She may be old, but dang billy she still looks good in my book.
