Liberation of a Different Kind (?)
It is interesting to find that in different parts of the world, (possibly including India) people are trying to understand the thin line of difference between pornography and art. But until a full understanding comes, it is going to be yet another tale of twists and turns until the Law of India tries to define Obscenity, Pornography, Sex, Sensuality and Censorship!
Why am I saying this?
Whether it was for a piece of photo art or for a political agenda or just for fun, none of the eighteen thousand people would have expected that they would be eighteen thousand of them. For a photo shoot in Mexico Eighteen thousand people gathered in an outdoor public space, without putting a single piece of cloth on their body! (Imagine such a thing in India or Middle East of Pakistan?”)
What was surprising to hear (or rather read on news for me) was that quite a few people had said the experience of being nude in public was “liberating”.
Liberating?!
What was liberating? Encouraging the exhibitionist mentality of a photographer? Taking off clothes in public? Exhibiting body for a photo? Or did they mean that liberation comes from throwing off traditions, cultures, politics and all other feelings like ones clothes in your bedroom?
May be! May be liberation is accepting the truth, that all our traditions or cultures have for some reason covered us from seeing something beyond them.
there is a film called HUMAN NATURE .
in which a scientist gets a tarzn man from the forests ..
he trains him in all different ways to fit him in this civilization
teaches him to speak languages, manners..all those civilized acts
but its intresting to see how he tries to controll the jungle mans sexual urges in public in the name of civilization .
the story revolves arround the very basic instint of human as soon as he sees his opposite sex —– then he recollects where he is ——- then he controlls ——— and tries to be a civilised man . all this has become so much usual in day to day life of a civilised man —tat all stages mentioned happens in a fraction of second (when he is in front of opposite sex)
its an intresting flick . dont miss it
