I have to retract the comments I made about this film. First off all, I decided to watch it with a friend. Before we started the movie I was beginning to feel wound up by the notion that what I was about to see was the very thing that makes my blood boil. However, I cannot see at all what James was talking about. The film came with a warning of its sexual nature and violence. There was only one sexual scene (which was a few seconds long and we only had to endure one buttock) and James and Sean retained the dignity that all actors should. So I can only presume that James was talking about the swimming scene where you get to see his butt (OK I will forgive that considering) and then he got out of the pool and the only people who would have seen him were the cast and crew on set. The camera did not pan and his modesty was unusually retained.
Therefore I humbly apologize for ranting on about this film when in fact it was extremely well written acted and directed. I have no idea what James was going on about. Yes he was in many scenes in bed but nothing even my masculist mind would dissaprove of.
Well done Gus Van Sant. I hope you have set a trend.
I'll keep James' comments on as per the original post.
