Zitat des Tages über Obszönität / Obscenity:
Commercial speech is like obscenity... we can't seem to define it, but we know it when we see it.
You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.
Sex and obscenity are not synonymous. Obscene material is material which deals with sex in a manner appealing to prurient interest.
Since obscenity is the truth of our passion today, it is the only stuff of art - or almost the only stuff.
I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in.
Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the establishment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to expressions of its own morality but to those of another.
Obscenity is whatever happens to shock some elderly and ignorant magistrate.
Obscenity, which is ever blasphemy against the divine beauty in life, is a monster for which the corruption of society forever brings forth new food, which it devours in secret.
The world today is so full of violence, obscenity, war, the failure of political systems. I try to make movies that make people a bit more confident. But that doesn't mean being sugary.
