Review of Kinsey (2004) by Juliankleiss — 13 Jan 2011
This movie seeks to explain the roots of American 20th century prudence towards sexuality, also showing how this kind of (non-)education lead to the emotional and physical suffering of many. Kinsey includes topics such as feminism, homosexuality, and problems of scientific research.
Kinsey seeks to liberate sexuality, but also shows that social constraints regarding sex (ranging from adultery to zoophilia) do have the purpose of preventing that someone gets hurt. Eventually the film compares marriage to a happy tree.
The tree is not free due to being rooted, but having roots is a nice thing in itself for we humans strive to overcome nihilism with love.
