Kinsey

Post by Xyphir »

I was wondering if anyone had seen this movie. I'm wondering if I should just get a biography book instead.

I liked the movie. Kinsey was a pioneer and the film shows how and why, while managing to remain entertaining. I think was good for a biography.
It was pretty cold and scientific though, so don't go into it expected to see anything tittilating.

If you're looking for a book to read on the subject, "The Inner Circle" by T. Coraghessan Boyle is very interesting and discusses in detail many of the things the movie kinda glosses over. It was released 2 weeks prior to the film.

Some christian groups were complaining about how the movie exagerated the accuracy of his findings and didnt go into the pedophilia he studied.

I like how the daily show put it.
"Wait a second, christians are complaining about the lack of pedophilia in a movie?"
