Movies

I enjoyed the actresses giving their stories and giving the viewer a glimpse into their lives and a vivid portrayal of why they got into the pornography business. It is sad and enlightening. It also gives you more respect for the industry. On the other hand I could not stand how Deborah Anderson constantly interjected her off handed self promotion, and name drops on numerous occasions. A documentary should be about the people on the subject of the film, not the person making it in my opinion. She is very annoying and distracts from the film. The actresses are very open and honest. It is worth watching if you have Showtime. If you do not have subscription take a pass. Again this is just my opinion haha.

I have nothing against pornography or documentaries. However, a documentary about pornography needs to get past the self-serving interview that is the sole menu item offered on this smörgåsbord.Everyone has two reasons for doing what he does; the real reason and the good reason. This film is dishonest because it presents only the good reasons, delivered up by the porn stars themselves. As a result, the documentary is not particularly penetrating. There is some reason that Shauna Grant, for example, killed herself. Many dozens of other porn stars, male and female, have done the same.There is some value in seeing the women talking about themselves, but the prevarication is obvious and transparent -- a wee bit of the happy hooker fantasy.

Aroused is a pretty interesting documentary about the motives of the most famous women in pornography.We fellow the director/photographer Deborah Anderson on a special shooting with Pornstars. The Black and White cinematography is gorgeous. There's a lot of nudity in this documentary but this is for art value. This is not gratuitous. The most interesting to listen are actually Kayden Kross, Katsuni, Francesca Le and Misty Stone. The movie is pretty short and also some of the pornstars don't speak much ( Lexi Belle, April o' Neil and Lisa Ann). We see an other angle, actually the more human angle of these women. This is not an easy job and even one of them compares this job to the job of stuntman, because they risk their lives with STD. Pretty Good!
