Deep Throat

Finalmente vi o clássico... e descobri esta entrevista da Linda Lovelace. É um filme histórico… err… clássico? Talvez, para alguns, mas a selecção de música é, no mínimo, a mais estranha que já vi num filme deste género (não que conheça muitos, claro está) :)

“Obscenity laws, they take away people’s rights. What is ridiculous is that they close Deep Throat, an X-rated film, and then turn around and show a war film in its place. In my opinion it’s all political. It took the judge in New York six weeks of looking at the film to decide it was obscene. If it was really obscene, he would have decided the first time he saw it. It’s not right that one individual should decide for the country what everybody is gonna see. No one is pulling anyone off the streets by their arms. I think even X-rated films should be on TV. All they should have to do it put an “X” on the screen. A lot of times it would be better than what they watch now on TV. All the crazy ideas you can get from TV! All the killings and murders! One study showed that an average American kid, by the time he's 12, has seen 1800 murders on TV and not one act of natural love. That’s crazy! I mean, it takes sex to make life. What could be more natural?”
