[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve been watching late 90’s movies lately and it was nearly every film. I was thinking it’s maybe shifted recently. Wanted to see if others get that sense as well. I’m sure it still happens from time to time.[/quote]

[b]You: "Do you think we'll ever get to a point where there is less nudity in film?
Also you: "I'm watching movies from 25 years ago."[/b]

I think that film audiences used to be titillated by nudity a lot more than they are now. It's not socially taboo now to have nudity as much as it was in the 1900s (as my teenager calls them). Honestly, my issue is less about the nudity and more about the extent to which violence against women is a plot point for a lot of media. This has always been true, but there was definitely a time when it was sanitized in mainstream movies. Then you have TV like Game of Thrones and its sh*tty sequel series that the theme of which is basically "violence against women." That some of those women were also naked was a lot less upsetting than literally every other aspect of the scenes.[/quote]

Ha! +1

Definitely much less prevalent than in 80s and 90s
There used to just be random scenes of gratuitous nudity (mostly bare boobs) for no reason whatsoever (e.g., sixteen candles, airplane)—just to get an R rating[/quote]
+1 Movies wanted the R rating so people knew they were for adults and not kids. The addition of PG-13 complicated this.[/quote]
