"Kinsey" (2004)

Hi all,

I was in a Wal-Green's the other day and saw this for $3.99. Being wild and crazy like I am, I bought it and I really liked it! It goes into Alfred Kinsey's sex studies, I believe, in the '40's and '50's. He was pretty revolutionary at bringing sex out of the closet and discovering people's - mostly normal - perversions. It's crazy what kind of sex myths they had back then! The character of Kinsey is pretty contradictory because he promotes sexual freedom, but yet is sexually frigid, looking at sex as nothing more than a natural action between humans when in fact, as everyone knows, sometimes emotions get involved. Great - and sometimes humorous - film with very good performances by Liam Neesom and Laura Linney.

Has anybody seen this?

I saw it in theater and have the DVD. Kinsey did some real cultural breakthru by exposing the myths of our sexuality. It didn't catch on right away. I actually was raised in that mostly repressed culture, almost as bad as what he was in.

A lot of us young ppl rebelled and there was the Sexual Revolution of the '60s. I didn't think he was so frigid in that movie. He was playing around with guys, which was quite taboo, even tho he was seeing that it was more normal than the perversion it was then designated.

Maybe I should watch it again.
