[QUOTE="Fudgy McFadyen, post: 13040"] You're taking an egocentric viewpoint when asking your question (though I get your meaning). Pretty much all films are just sequences of emotional provocation. You enjoy the emotional response you get from seeing (at least some) violence, but cringe at sex. Other people will be the opposite, and will enjoy romantic and sexual scenes (distinct from pornography). I find both violence and sex in films tedious, to me neither adds anything to a story - not usually anyway. I prefer the Brechtian approach to story telling. [/QUOTE]
