WAYS OF SEEING (episode two - female nude) 4/4

[Elvinauk]

Loved this even more the second time around, wow, just amazing as I agree with everything John Berger says. That woman with the glasses clearly has issues though, lol.

Homer: I have something to say to all the sons out there. To all the boys, to all the men, to all of us. It's about women, and how they are not mere objects with curves that make us crazy. No, they are our wives, they are our daughters, our sisters, our grandmas, our aunts, our nieces and nephews. Well, not our nephews. They are our mothers. And you know somethin', folks? -I would rather feel the sweet breath of my beautiful wife on the back of my neck as I sleep,

Is there anyway to find it with subtitles? (english will do, it's just that their accent is quite hard for me to understand)

[DamnShannon]

The one on the left is well fit.

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for putting up something that dealt with objectification in a realistic and interesting way.

I think the episode was right in so many ways, but I never thought of naked and nude having different meanings, furthermore women being humiliated because their in the nude and men being dressed makes me wonder if that was a sorrow for women, but it seemed as if most the women seen nude are happy so I don't know.

[Sarandib22]

@TheSchoolss Well, think about it in terms of what you just saw in the documentary: where do you see most nudes (or scantily clad women)? In advertisement, movies, art, pornography, and other media where the body is the product. Are you looking at a woman happy to be nude, or are you being sold the idea of a happy naked woman? If there is ANY profit to be made from it (and when is there not?), it's almost certainly the latter. Therein lies the difference. Pimping by another name.

Can (dare) we talk of rape now?

[Tropicaliak]

they are mad good at talking, if they had me up there I'd be saying er and um all over the place. that plus my accent and all would be lost.

[AClarke2007]

@Tropicaliak Don`t worry, we all have the potential to have been born with silver spoons, but this kind of banter is nurtured in circles of higher education.

[smbieri]

Really engaging and intriguing stuff, thanks much for posting these videos.

[p89trd]

great.

[DarKool81]

Why are some people watching this casting aspersions on an old woman? Does her opinion not matter? Pay attention, instead of reinforcing the very problem the episode is trying to address.

[lorddan56]

euhh theres something id like to say about narcasism... lol freaky old lady! lol

[Kkupidknotz]

marta009 is granny hunter

[Iishieboo]

@Kkupidknotz

Wow... Your statement makes it sound like women are there to be hunted. A conquest. Something to take over and mount on your wall like a prize deer.

Which leads me to point out a connection between men being "manly" and hunting and men being "manly" and prowling, "hunting" women. A deer's antlers are called a rack, and a woman's breasts are known as her "rack." Hmmm..

It's so great to be able to watch this on YouTube. Thanks for posting it!

[sadunkal]

Pretty interesting, thanks. Today's youth also should be more conscious about what is being fed to them.

I'm also planning to take a bigger step against the thing called art. I'll read "The Conspiracy of Art" from Baudrillard, maybe it might interest you too. I'm an artist myself and I always have been (I'm fairly young though), but the situation the humanity and this planet is in, forces me to question art's purpose. I might distance myself completely from art and go scientifical. :)

[KHooves]

why not become a scientific illustrator - you could study science and help explain it to others via sketchings, animations, 3d models...

[sadunkal]

Naah, that's boring. :)

What currently appeals to me is to use art to manipulate the public for good. I mean not for profit, but for promoting rational thinking and science... Sort of like mass marketing/PR, but the product is knowledge and science.

Have you seen "Century of the Self"? It's available on GoogleVideo, highly recommended.

You might understand my intentions better after you've seen it. In short, I plan to use their own tricks against them, to reverse what they have caused. :)

[KHooves]

well, good luck

[sadunkal]

Thanks... I hope it didn't sound too crazy...

[ChristmasCarolyn]

No, it's actually pretty commendable. I'm intending to do my own in my own way through animation and film (currently an animation student), although I've to admit, not exactly scientific, but at least on a philosophical level. Just to get people rethinking about things they accept without questioning.
