Nudity And Nude Scenes In Movies An

This group is for all those who love seeing nudity on film or TV, either seeing actors and actresses naked or group scenes of nudity. There is often a sexual component to much film nudity. This is about the nudity and body exposure or natural expression of nudity, rather than the sexual intent. It's for a discussion on how nudity in films might have influenced their own views on the naked...

I have heard that in the early years of movies, both in the silent era and later in the thirties, before there was a motion picture code, nudity was shown more in films. Women were allowed to be swimming and have their nude body revealed. Also European films remained much more open about nudity during the years that Hollywood was banning such scenes.

The silent version of "Ben Hur" featured some male and female nudity. Worth watching for the chariot race as exciting as the later version.

I bought a copy of the latter version of "Ben Hur" and it also included the silent version. I am sure you could get a copy on Amazon.

I believe that they were more willing to be groundbreaking those days, lets not forget that after the first world war, the world witnessed this artistic boom on several areas and the art world was certainly at the forefront: architecturally speaking you had for instance the Bauhaus movement, and as far as paintings were concerned, we had some pretty groundbreaking painters back then. Sadly, everything soon ended in a very sad way :/
