John Cameron Mitchell
Director John Mitchell or sleezey pornographic pusher? Now this is the question that should be asked about his new movie SHORTBUS. A movie that pushes live sex to its viewing audiance. Something you only see in pornos. This rated r movie is being heralded by critics as a trip into American life that should be celebrated and not humiliated.
Director John Mitchell's claim of sex is a natural thing is not argumented. That in itself is a stupid statement on his part. As any biology student learns in day one. However he puts an antiBush spin to sex.
In an amazing diatribe of leftist paranoia sex is now something the current administration is against.
"It's a little bit of a cri de coeur to us, a little bit of a call to arms" against the prevailing conservatism, he told a media conference, adding that this country was living in "the era of Bush, which is about clamping down, being scared."
The 43-year-old, whose previous work was "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," about a transsexual rock singer, said the film was his own small act of defiance against Bush.
"If you can't do elections you might as well do erections," he said.
See how it is spun and goes back to the myth of a stolen Florida election. That the conservative movement in this country wants to stiffle even sex.
One scene likely to create controversy in the United States and some other countries shows a gay threesome in which one participant joyfully bellows "The Star Spangled Banner."
Although the first half of the film is filled with sex, including orgies and masturbation, the act itself is not meant to be erotic but rather to challenge the audience and make it confront issues such as loneliness, the illusion of self-sufficiency and other seemingly unrelated problems, Mitchell said.
Self dilusion by John Mitchell into claiming his form of smutt is to tackle problems we face as a society, with leftist logic of looseing rights and blamming President Bush for this does not make for entertainment.
"Sex is not that interesting unless it's put into an artistic context, or you're having it yourself," Mitchell said.
The opening sequence prepares audiences for what is to come, with three different sex scenes.
One features a young man performing oral sex on himself in front of a camera, another a young man masturbating as he is whipped by a dominatrix and the third a couple having acrobatic sex in their apartment.
None of these scenes sound artistic to me. They do sound a little perverted and not really worth watching. I suppose for some though this will be a great movie revealing thier own sexual habits.
The movie SHORTBUS falls into the same catogory as all porn. To some it is artistic and entertaining. To others it touches topics that are not polight in pub lic circles. Then to the rest it is smutt.
To me it is just another wannabe director with leftist view trying to take a jab at America.
Shortbus is a statement about cinema, but it is also a commentary on the United States which Mitchell said viewed sex too negatively.
"I really believe our country specifically needs to take a look at that stuff. You crush something, it pops up somewhere else, it comes back to haunt you.
This is why a threesome of gay men with one singing the national Anthem is included.
JUST MORE SMUTT FROM THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD WHO IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH NEW IDEAS.
