Michael Hogan: Kristen Stewart in On the Road: Is She the Only Celebrity Making Real Art?: "I'm surprised he didn't use the overwrought phrase "strong woman's part" in describing her acting as well. A lyric line to Paul Simon's Boy in The Bubble states that every generation throws a hero on the pop chart and in this generation we have Lady Gaga, the cast form Twilight, Hunger Game and Harry Potter. So now he wants you to accept her nudity as a sign of being artistic. The scene in which he describes her giving hand work had been done before in a Bernardo Bertolucci film called 1900 made in 1976 starring Robert De Niro and Gérard Depardieu and the object of their affection was an actress named Dominique Sanda. Why isn't she described as brave nd artistic? Nudity for the sake of nudity in films can be boring and misplaced. Films like Porky's and any teen slasher film depicted it for the teen audience in the past but we've grown jaded thanks to the Internet where real life horrors and free sex runs the gamut. If this is a story worth telling then the words should make it compelling while the nudity, if it adds to the structure and logic, is a practical application. But let's not elevate the nudity as if her breasts are a shrine worthy of being filmed. Male frontal nudity is rarely depicted because it is considered a weapon by Hollywood standards, I kid you not.
