This film made me recall an article by Suzanne Fields, bemoaning the Sexual Revolution & the anniversary of Playboy Magazine: "cultural attitudes shifted radically. Junk sex was no better than junk food, but millions of men and women greedily devoured the empty calories....Playboy made male fantasies public and the public culture embraced those fantasies in real life. It vulgarized what most men and women in their deepest sentiments hold dear....It turned courtship away from the patient pleasures of a gourmet meal with many courses and replaced it with a cheesy burger"(Suzanne Fields, Yearning for a glimpse of shocking stocking, 12/15/03)
Get more detail about Sense and Sensibility.
