As a piece of artwork on the naked pregnant woman (and occasional man) it's quite beautiful. As I recall all the people who appeared on the film were caucasian and obviously followers of an alternative lifestyle. Frankly if I showed it during my classes half of them would be laughing and the other half would be very uncomfortable. Definitely think about your audience before purchasing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132953033183671060.post-6988481937823014642010-09-21T10:26:55.437-05:002010-09-21T10:26:55.437-05:00I thought it was an adorable scene.

It was startling and unexplained! We...No, I cannot. It was startling and unexplained! Well, not totally unexplained--the film was closing with a discussion about family bonding and showing the various families in the film playing outside together, going for walks, running and laughing, splashing in the ocean, and then a small boy (with clothes on!) riding a bicycle followed by a smiling man on a bicycle. As he got closer to the camera I was saying to myself, "he's wearing tan shorts, he's wearing tan shorts, please let him be wearing tan shorts..." but he pedaled on by with a grin and full frontal view. Then, the film faded out on his naked bottom pedaling off into the distance...<br /><br />Then, credits roll while a pregnant lady painted with paints that show up in black light dances. That part is cool (though not everyone would agree with me on that probably!)<br /><br />MollyCfM Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949865938769197211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5132953033183671060.post-91371049677280417312009-08-29T18:42:04.423-05:002009-08-29T18:42:04.423-05:00Um ... now I'm curious. Can you tell us WHY th...Um ... now I'm curious. Can you tell us WHY the naked man was riding a bicycle (or rather why the bicycle-riding man was naked)? Incidentally, I was surprised and amused one evening last week, on a walk with my husband and our three-year-old, to see a man riding his bike home in nothing but tighty-whities. I'm still curious about THAT, too.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858810656969791963noreply@blogger.com
