The Loss of Sexual Innocence. Anyone else seen it? Not I... but after your comment, I am interested in seeing it, I will look for it on video rentals (is it out yet as a rental ?). As for: There's an obvious Adam and Eve Not that my comment relates to your statement, but it did remind me of the idiocy of the 'story' of Adam and Eve... He he he.... If we all came from this single couple,(and not evolved from the monkeys), now it becomes clearer why the idiocy of the human race. I am actually surprised there are no more Down Syndrome or similar instances amongst the 'believers'. [I guess incest must have been a common practice amongst them religious believers of the time.] Oh well ! another one of those "unsolved religious mysteries". [proably today there must be some kind of explanation as to why this effects did not take place then.] --but no, I have no interest in hearing about it.

Re : The Loss of Sexual Innocence... I saw it, Although the individual acting I liked, I did not feel the overall picture held together. In brief: The best moment I thought was when Adam and Eve get kicked out of paradise by the fascists storm troopers and their dogs, an appropriate representation. [but they missed the pointy hats]. I prefer to consider this movie as a test of the acting performance of the various actors in it, individually the performances were good, achieving what the director asked of them to do, for example, The Twins played by Saffron Burroughs, I thought to be great. However the movie itself.... I am not sure holds one's interest. A bit confusing by the "timeline of events" (i.e. Starts with Nic as a 5 year old boy, then Nic (Julian Sands), as a mature man with his son and wife, and from there it goes back to a younger Nic again. The lack of dialogue, at times, is not helpful either. Art film ? hmmm questionable All, of course my opinion. More by PM, since I do not want to re-fuel another idiot-war with the local religious police. Must go now.
