There are different types of erotic
images and content, sometimes called porn. As one example, there are
beautifully filmed erotic art that captures details of the human body and human
sexuality. These images for some provoke sexual arousal, but for others provoke
admiration but not sexual pleasure. A friend of mine describes a different type
of erotic image that she enjoys. She says, “I do see beauty in erotic art as it
details the body. However, what arouses me is not a work of art, but rather a
freeing of emotion...like the difference in elevator music vs a symphony
hall. I am aroused by seeing the expression of enjoyment and passion in a
relationship. I enjoy watching erotic images where people are involved and
pleased with one another.”
Carol is the story of two woman in
the 1950’s that form a passionate and involved love relationship. Their love
relationship is a beautiful example of emotions and pleasure once restricted
but now freed. Both ladies are presented as mysterious and reserved, where the
intensity of their emotions are kept hidden. It is through this relationship
that these emotions are freed. Carol is an example of a film that presents the
freeing of emotions of these two woman which makes their sexual relation very
erotic.
The film has an explicit love scene
between the two woman played by Cate Blanchett & Rooney Mara. I found the
scene erotic and beautifully filmed. Cate Blanchett received a Best Actress
nomination for her performance in the film. The sets and costumes are
outstanding and reason alone to see this film. This is a very good film and I
recommend it. 1/8/17
