It is always strange to read or watch something from some time ago and have the innuendo be so striking. It's unsettling because it makes me wonder what I'm missing now, and I'm sure it's a lot. Understanding is kind of a trap of its own, as it's hard to see beyond or around our own assumptions. I like to think things are better now, and it seems they are in many ways, but I wonder what I'm not seeing.
What film was it that you watched, if you don't mind my asking? Do you watch a lot of old films?
I completely know where you are coming from with regard to wondering what we aren't seeing now. I often amuse myself by trying to imagine what future generations will think back and say. "Those people were such barbarians, can you imagine they used to physically wipe there own arses?" or something like that hahaha
It wasn't an old film but rather a film set in older times. It was a film called "Far from the madding crowd" it is also apparently a very popular book, but I had not heard of it before. I don watch old movies though if they come well recommended.
