I’m watching it right now (as in this week and next, not this minute). 1 hour in, pretty good so far.
Some completely unnecessary female nudity however.
Nudity is almost never necessary.

I can think of at least two pretty good reasons.

There is a difference between showing a naked woman and showing nudity. Unless I missed something that would spoil the upcoming hour-and-a-half, can you explain why the later was necessary, rather than the former?

No, I really like nudity in film and photography. I think it’s beautiful. And this is coming from someone who finds most people unattractive so it’s not a weird sex thing. To say that it’s almost never necessary is crazy. I could list you an enormous list of films/photos/sculptures/paintings where it is effective. The only times it is unnecessary are in films that are obviously exploitative and the scenes exist purely to be smut. But that usually isn’t art so I don’t really care.
^That.

I haven’t seen Blade Runner 2042, but usually nudity communicates innocence, vulnerability, uninhibitedness, or seediness. I’m guessing with Blade Runner it was the last one.

Given the scene, definitely not uninhibitedness or seediness. Possibly innocence or vulnerability, but the point is you can still communicate that quite easily without showing the actual body parts, and showing the actual body parts multiple times.

There is a certain effect that it conveys. It’s in your face. It’s an uncomfortable scene for the character and it’s an uncomfortable scene to watch and the nudity is part of that. In that way, you sympathize with her and her exposure and exploitation (and, ultimately murder). It’s not sexual in any way. It’s gross, and that’s the point.

It often doesn’t communicate it as well, or as visually.

It often doesn’t communicate it as well, or as viscerally.

Another couple of nonsexual examples of this are Carrie taking a bath, or when she’s getting harassed in the locker room, and when the naked kid gets flogged in Lord of the Flies. It makes it more uncomfortable and disturbing, which makes for a more effective scene.

Does that stand for “Suck that, fuck you”?

I hate nudity in almost any instance unless it’s in person or im actually watching porn. It doesn’t offend me, but it always brings me out of the movie.

I don’t feel so strongly about nudity.

It would be kind of weird if you did.
I don’t know that i could see being taken out of a movie because nobody was naked.

I give up, you guys have your opinion on it and I have mine. The scene could have played just as convincingly without those specific shots.

Of course not, but I’ve been taken out of a movie when they’re obviously trying to cut around nudity to the point of it looking terrible and stupid.

I’ve never seen either of these movies (somehow) but those sound like better examples than Blade Runner 2049. I don’t think the scene needed it at all to work.

I don’t understand why anyone is bothered by nudity in 99% of instances.

But… I was agreeing with you… Unless the fact that my post was right before yours is a coincidence and you weren’t referring to me.
But if the religion thread has taught me anything it’s that context doesn’t matter and Frinks going to hell.

Do you know any women? Any women who are sick of the endless bombardment of naked or essentially naked women in all different circumstances over and over and over, no matter if there’s any reason for it or not? Any women who are sick of the constant objectification of women and mistreatment of women?
I do.

This is correct.
