I felt very sad because I was treated like a sex symbol -- I wanted to be recognized as an actress

I was really hoping to avoid the topic this time. However I will try to make this post as short as possible since very few people have the patience to read & understand long essays.
I will not elaborate some of my statements since I assume most of us are mature here to understand what I really want to say.
Lets start with an example.(Er..pls take it light heartedly its just an example.
) when I first mentioned the movie "Holy smoke". I don't think anybody paid any attention to it. sam9s's eyes caught it & he mischievously asked me this
Wow how did you land up watching this movie
To be honest I knew he was playing with me & what type of answer he was looking for.
. However I told him the truth (I have seen kate nude many times & really wasn't interested in her that much.Monica belluci is better I think).
He also said
this is one twisted tale of sex, intelligence and charisma. Not for everyone.
Still No response from any one. Mark the bold words. I agree completely here.
Then he finally thought I must have lost the cue & he should take the initiative to turn some heads.
Thus he posted.
Nude Kate Winslet got my attention .... .... to be frank....... and I am sure I have now got other people's attention as well in this movie ...
& BAM! you are reading this post here.
You see most of the filmmakers these days use exactly the same technique to attract as many people as possible. Money is the Only reason here. They would definitely invent some secondary explanation to support nudity in their films.
Now read the first quote again.That was then. Today this is the bitter truth & you also know it.

In the name of art they are selling sex indirectly.
Nudity is essential sometimes.
Nudity in films was born with erotic films. Whose motive was only one thing. Making profits! Slowly it started to influence the mainstream cinemas too. People started to show more interest in the nude scenes than the story.
Human body itself is an art & very small amount of people understand art. There are many examples.
Thus I will say if Nudity is essential sometimes then it is not for everyone.
When asked kirsten dunst stated
I am of two (or three) minds about this. Yes, nudity can distract you from the story when you start thinking about the performer more than the character
(I am talking about female nudity here.)
Unfortunately this is the fact for most of the viewers. Even the very first example I gave here proves it.
Cinema is mostly about expression & imagination. It is not required to show everything to state something.
BTW I have stated nothing against naked human body nor I am a scholar who has a very deep understanding in arts. Therefore please don't ask me any unrelated questions.
From my point of view what I believe is correct from your point of view you may be right. Thats all.
Thank you.
