Youngblood talks about cinema and the way film has changed into something more then a story with a plot. A way for humans to communicate on a more sexual level. Brown says this, "The Western consciousness has always asked for freedom: the human mind was born
free, or at any rate born to be free, but everywhere it is in chains; and now at the end of
its tether." Youngblood talks bout the "underground" movies for "personal cinema" which "is by definition sexual cinema" Sexual cinema moved from "underground" to commercial and later to Hollywood. Hollywood was breaking thou new ways of sexual exploitation and getting people use to seeing what was considered inappropriate or a "sin." I have noticed this from watching I love Lucy show to a show like Sex in the City. Slowly desensitizing the majority audience to accepting that is the way it is. Not only that but at the time personal recording devices made it easier for people to record themselves without worrying about censorship. This made it easier for culture and people to realize sex wasn't just man and woman and creating, but for mere pleasure and enjoyment. Andy Warhol created a sense of the "polymorphous-perverse." I find it interesting that Warhol help create films that had no drama and had a bases on redefining the unisex world we live in.
