Saoirse Ronan Films First Explicit Sex Scene In 'How I Live Now'


Isn't the movie rated 14A [Canada]? Likely hyping up the sex angle to sell the movie...

If she filmed an explicit sex scene, that's not the one they used in the film.

You said it. It's about as tame for a teen movie as you can get.

"If he's you and you're him and you're him and he's him. Am I still me?"

reply

It wasn't even bad or 'explicit'. It was classed as "Strong Sex" by the BBFC but was hardly strong. Kind of mild, just lasted longer than a 12a film would.

...it was like 3 seconds of slightly heavy breathing

Very disappointed, especially since she's supposed to be from new york, they are the sluttiest women on the planet.

reply

What a ridiculous statement. Do you just make things up as you go along?

reply

Nope, they ran a survey, new york women on average have 8 partners vs 2.2 partners for the u.s average. Presuming they would lie it's even higher. In anycase I'm talking about the character Ronan plays, not her personally.

And on second thought, the sex scene was necessary and tastefully done, as well as psychologically accurate. Ronan's character is mentally unstable and emotionally vulnerable, so it makes sense she would sexually respond that way to someone so stable and dominant.

reply

yeah, you think the same way I do about women! so, you are saying that women from new York are the sluttiest women in the world? really, can you give me proof of that?

reply

They used a body double though!

reply

WRONG! First, look up the definition of the word "explicit". Then, learn the fact that a body double was used. Saoirse has never done a nude scene and still hasn't done.

reply

Saoirse has never done a nude scene and still hasn't done.


I was wondering about this. I saw the movie in the cinema and didn't notice her doing any nudity. Then my friend got out the movie on DVD and said there was a scene where the character was dreaming but it seemed that Ronan did do a nude scene waling through a forest. Maybe it was a body double?

reply

No one anywhere, at any point in this thread said that she had done a nude scene. where did you see it written within this thread that she had done a nude scene? I would really like to know...

Uuuhh, read the title of the post maybe...

That's the title I can see and again it says nothing about her being nude. Have you contacted support about words appearing where they shouldn't?
