Pornographic film history

In the 1960s, the concept of sex changed drastically in the United States, and its impact on the film industry was very obvious, but European countries were far ahead. In 1969, the Swedish art film "I am curious Yellow" made headlines in the U.S. movie circle; the political film included undisguised sexual footage, which was banned in the United States Film, but publishers have challenged the government, and eventually won in most lawsuits. Because of constant controversy, "I am curious-Huang" became a sensational art movie with box office revenue of $ 10 million. It was also because of this film that Swedish films became synonymous with obscene films. It was this work that inspired the creation of pornographic movies in the United States.

In the same year, a health instructional film on how to improve the quality of sexual life, Man and Wife, was also released in the United States. This film mainly shows some physiological anatomy pictures, and the narration is like a doctor's tone, without any emotional color. Of course, there is a couple who is having sex in the film, which serves as a demonstration.

In 1969, after Denmark lifted all restrictions on film pornography, American director De Renzy took his camera to the red light district of Copenhagen and filmed "Pornograghy in Denmark".

In 1970, the first pornographic feature film "Mona: The virgin Nympy" in the United States was officially released. On the one hand, it stirred up a wave of protests and brought considerable profits. Stallone also made an erotic movie "The Italian Stallian" shortly after.

In the first few years of the 1970s, porn was mostly shot on 16mm film, and the length was generally no more than 15 minutes. The films were tied together and played in a loop in a low-level theater. The humble theater with folding chairs once spread like weeds, and even some grocery stores made such deals in the backyard. There are 40 such cinemas in New York and more than 100 in the Los Angeles area. Tickets are generally 5 yuan. Erotic cinemas become venues for those lonely men who satisfy sexual fantasies. This is exactly what happened in Martin Scorsese's The Taxi Driver. The taxi driver played by De Niro asked the girl to come out for the first time and took her to such a cinema.

Although the audience has been increasing, porn at this time has not caught the attention of the mainstream movie industry. In 1972, the trilogy "Behind the green door" filmed by the American independent film industry officially announced the advent of the golden age of American pornographic movies. The film even attracted a lot of female audiences. The story is about a woman being coerced into an adult club show, and as a result she gained her own sexual liberation. The film was well shot and succeeded in creating a dreamy feel, arguably more erotic than erotic.

The most famous and successful pornographic film in the United States is, of course, Deep Throat. The protagonist of this film is a woman with a sexy organ born in the throat, she can only get sexual satisfaction through the mouth. In fact, the film is very dirty, extremely boring, the actors are not attractive, and the jokes in the film are very clumsy.

The success of Deep Throat relies on luck. Pornographic films have officially surfaced, radically subverting traditional sexual concepts. The young people who were seeking sexual liberation at that time did not care about the various taboos in the past. They often went to porn theaters together, and they had to hold hands to strengthen their momentum and look completely rebellious. Some influential media have also begun to comment on pornographic videos. It is conceivable that few of these critics will admit that they are porn fans. A commentary in the New York Times stated that even without Deep Throat, other films will enter the market. For better or worse, it will be especially popular. Because people at the time confessed death, they just wanted to watch pornographic movies. "Deep Throat" was born.

Deep Throat's box office revenue is in the tens of millions of dollars. At the same time, the film was banned in 23 states, and the federal government hopes to start with it to eradicate pornographic videos. Five related companies and 12 cast members have been charged in court on charges of carrying and distributing obscene films across states. The Tennessee court's decision resulted in the defendant being found guilty, but the Federal Court of Appeal refused to pursue accountability based on the First Amendment. At this time, "Deep Throat" has attracted a large number of audiences, the Federal Supreme Court is about to approve pornographic theaters in franchised areas, and the pornographic film industry has almost become an important industry.

"Deep Throat" has also become an immortal term through another special way. In the Watergate incident that led to Nixon's downfall in the early 1970s, those who disclosed the government's secrets to two reporters in the Washington Post were also known as "deep throats." The identity of the "deep throat" is still a mystery.

But this pornographic movie fever soon disappeared. Soon after 1972, the grand occasion of a large number of audiences going to watch pornographic movies became history, and the mainstream media ignored these things. Most of the newly produced films are of very poor quality, whether they are actors, directors, screenplays, photographers or editors, and music, all links are poor. Many practitioners do not even think about how to improve the level of film production, or even how to make movies. What they are pursuing is to make money through sex lenses.

In the mid-to-late 1970s, the American pornographic film industry experienced its last glory, shooting its own classics, the most famous being "Enlightenment of Miss Beethoven" seen by Anderson, the director of "Unruly Night". The film directed by Henry Paris insisted on artistic expression of pornography. He emphasized the atmosphere far more than the description of naked sexuality. The film is considered one of the best pornographic movies in history. Similar to "Lady Lady", this film tells the story of how a street girl was shaped into a socialite, so some people say that "Beethoven" is the pornographic version of "Lady Lady". Also classics of the same period are "Roomates", "Insatiable" and "Taboo".

A group of pornographic filmmakers in "Unruly Night" is active during this period. They believe in being able to include real sex shots in artistic storytelling, and their devotion when putting into work can never be disguised. The scene where Eddie and Aiper collaborated for the first time was the longest shot in "Unruly Night". The heat between the two people, even the crew around them, will be confused as to whether they are shooting feature films or documentaries.

It is not excessive to say that they live in hallucinations, or even that they have gone astray. But they are undoubtedly the generation with ideals, aspirations and pursuits, and the last generation. In "Unruly Night", there is a party footage of New Year's Eve in 1980, everyone drink and carnival, and welcome the new era. In fact, that was the beginning of the decline of pornographic movies.

Director Jack insisted on shooting with a movie camera, and he refused to use the camera that had just appeared, although it was cheap and convenient. He simply couldn't imagine how the sacred film career in his mind could be blasphemed by inferior videotapes. Of course, Jack couldn't resist the widespread popularity of new technologies, and he was eliminated by himself and his generation of filmmakers.

The rapid popularization of video recorders ended the golden age of pornographic films, and eventually stifled the development of the pornographic film industry. By 1983, the vast majority of adults who were interested in porn preferred to rent videotapes to watch. Everyone began to make full use of the fast-forward function of the VCR and directly entered the action part of the movie. They no longer care about the intro and atmosphere, and these two are exactly the most valued components of pornographic directors with artistic pursuit. This new habit quickly affected the production of pornographic movies. In cinemas, even if the audience is in a hurry, they can only be forced to accept the various arrangements made by the directors, even if they want the projector to skip these paragraphs. Since the mid-1980s, due to changes in audience consumption habits, pornographic movies have had little opportunity to enter cinemas. When watching videos in their own living room or bedroom, people get the freedom to fast forward, while depriving porn artists of their living space. Since no one cares about the intro and atmosphere, of course, there is no reason for the photographer to work hard for these things. The golden age of pornographic films has officially ended, leaving a few successful productions, most of which are rubbish.

Those programs made for videotapes are almost completely without artistic considerations. The script is also superfluous, and a pure action movie does not need a script. The entire shot is often completed in one day, plus rough post-production. The audience can see almost all programs like the animal world. If there is still a positive effect, it can also be used as a reference video for exercising. As of the end of 2013, some large pornographic publishing companies, including Hustler and Penthhouse, have continued to produce a large number of pornographic films, but at best, they have worked hard at the production stage to pick some visual effects A good actor, looking for some special scenes, such as the edge of a spring, or using the Grand Canyon as a background, the things he does are still straightforward and lacking. All in all, interesting pornographic films are extinct in the United States.

Main categories of pornographic movies

American adult movies are often divided into two categories, hardcore and softcore. I can't find a more suitable Chinese translation of these two words. In this article, I will first refer to pornographic movies and erotic movies. In fact, it is easy to distinguish between these two types of films. Hardcore has several characteristics, first of all, close-up shots of key parts, and then real performance of key parts. Softcore films generally have no or very few close-ups, and almost all of the objects represented are women. In addition, softcore's films only had simulated performances during the shooting process, and nothing really happened.

Shooting pornographic and erotic movies does not require a lot of investment, and the shots are mostly done indoors. After the work is completed, there will be a relatively stable audience. The number may not be large, but someone will definitely watch it. Moreover, when shooting erotic works, everyone still has a lot of space to realize the concept of artistic creation. It is difficult to earn a living in the American film industry. Therefore, many talented young people have either helplessly or actively used erotic subjects as the starting point of their film career, including Francis, who directed the "Godfather" trilogy. Coppola. Erotic films became their training camp, which also allowed them to earn their first decent salary in the film industry. ^[1]

Pornographic movie

The U.S. film industry has always been strictly constrained, the creation of sexual themes has always been a restricted area, and pornographic films have never formed a climate. U.S. courts have ruled Italian director Roberto Rossellini's film "The Miracle" guilty of blasphemy and banned nationwide. In 1952, the Federal Supreme Court overturned past judgments; it was through this case that the Supreme Court formally incorporated film creation into the protection of the First Amendment of the Constitution. Since then, film creation has enjoyed a constitutionally-protected freedom of speech, and the US film industry's previous censorship of pornographic content has been almost paralyzed. In the future, the government's censorship in the film field will be limited to obscenity, which is obscene content. The Rossellini decision had a profound impact on the American film industry. Nude shots and dialogues with a strong meaning began to appear legally in movies.

There are many loopholes in the American film classification system, which objectively provides a channel for sex movies to enter the market. Many sex movies can actually set regulations to avoid movie inspection and enter the theater. Movies that were only suitable for adults began to enter the film market with an X-rated, the most famous of which was 1969's "Midnight Cowboy". But then the X-grade was formally used to refer to those porn movies that were booming. ^[2]

Pornographic films

There are many well-known works in erotic movies, such as the American series "Red Shoe Diaries", Europeans' story about sexual exploration "Emmanuelle", and the sadistic subject "Stories of 0". Some such works are still being created, but few films can reach the level of "Emanuel" or "0 Niang's Story". After European film creation was largely suffocated by Hollywood, it was mainly Americans who made such films. Compared with Europeans, American erotic film creation can be said to be still in childhood, and the exploration of film themes cannot be deepened. In general, we can only think that we are more healthy and less erotic. Who can expect a group of children to conceive a particularly erotic story?

American independent film director Paul Thomas Anderson has been particularly interested in pornography since he was young. The first such work he came into contact with was the classic of the pornographic film "The opening of misty Beethoven". He was fascinated by the film, when he was 17 years old.

In 2002, Anderson won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival for "Punch Drunk Love". His masterpiece is actually another "Boogie Nights" filmed in 1997. At the age of 27, he had just established himself in the film industry. With all his talents, Anderson filmed this feature film about the pornographic film industry with a painstaking working attitude, realizing his dream of a boyhood.

The background of the story is the San Fernando Valley in Southern California in the late 1970s to the early 1980s, which was the production center of American pornographic films. This film is neither erotic nor erotic. It is an American independent movie about pornographic movies. It is actually a very wonderful work of art. We can completely understand the past and present life of American pornographic movies along the path of Anderson's creation with the clues of Tusuoyan.

Anderson worked hard to make this film. He grew up near the San Fernando Valley and has had a personal feel for the pornographic industry since he was a teenager. In order to write the script, he interviewed many practitioners. He has searched countless pornographic movies and found inspiration from living history. Sometimes he watched these movies for six or seven hours in a row, which was not a light effort. After each reading, according to his own words, his desire to even go home and kiss his girlfriend was wiped out.

The two heroines of this film are both star stars. Character actor Juliane Moore starred in porn star Amber. Julian was nominated for both Best Actress and Supporting Actress in 2003. The big beauty, Heather Graham, starred in Roller Girl. In the movie, the little girl dropped out of high school to join the pornographic film industry. Heather has performed well in many films, and she is also a stage actor on Broadway and is very sought after. Both actresses have bold performances in the film, which can't be seen in standard Hollywood movies at all.

The film's actor is a young guy with special expertise, Eddie Adams. He was spotted by pornographic film director Jack Horner and became the number one male choice, and quickly became popular in the industry. Received numerous awards. Jack is an art-seeking director. He hopes to shoot works with good taste and artistic value, and it is best to keep his name in the history of film. He thinks he has taken pornography to a new level.

The 1970s was the golden age of American pornographic movies. At that time, there were indeed a group of directors who were engaged in creative work like Jack. Every link, from the arrangement of the story, the deployment of the camera, the choice of the actor, to the post-production is meticulous. There are indeed many unique considerations in the depiction of sexual scenes, such as the setting of lighting and the selection of shooting angles, which often show the ingenious concept of film language. ^[1]
