I am not sure if I have alerted the rest of you to a development. I teach a film studies class. It is basically a historical look at American Cinema. But we started the class with Sea-Biscuit this year. We had a number of students who said that there was too much violence and sex in the film. Yes, that is right, 18-22 year olds, folks in their sexual and aesthetic prime, saying there is too much sex in Sea-biscuit. They were, shocked and taken back by the fact that the main character sleeps with prostitutes. What will these kids be like in the future? Will they be more prudes, will they regret missing out on their youth? I wonder.
