Watched Mr. Kinsey last night

[Hyperblaze]

How much is the movie true?

Movie claims he revolutionized the way people think, talk, and preform in regards to their sexuality.

I did not see any sort of "epologue" at the end where I tend to see one after a movie based on a true story.

worth seeing? I figured it might be interesting/entertaining....what's the general "gist" of it? What's he informing/convincing us about?

gist of it was, folks were completely unaware and uneducated when it came to their own sexuality. many folks thought there was only one position (presumably the missionary position) and oral sex? what's that? or....isn't that evil? i found the movie rather interesting

there were consequences to certain experiements too.

I Havent seen the movie, but know that it supposedely based of facts.

While he did some good research -- he had some very questionable practices, especially when it came to testing sexual levels of infants. Not sure how in depth the movie goes on that stuff.

My Pysch teach in college hated Kinsey and claimed he was one of the most over-rated psychologists, and had he been doing those experients today he probably would have been thrown in jail for using the practices that he did.

 

It's Kinsey, not Mr. Kinsey.

I think he helped break the ice on the subject, regardless of his methodology.

My local Blockbuster was already out of all copies when I called at like 6:00 PM.

This is the movie w/ Liam Neeson? I thought it looked pretty interesting, I'll have to see if our local video store has it.

I enjoyed this film a great deal.

Liam Neeson gives a fantastic performance of what it must have been like to deal with a controversial topic in the 40's. Must have been very grueling time attempting to conduct a scientific study about such a controversial subject in that time period. I liked how it showed him go from zealous passion for the subject to becoming absolutely obsessed and alienating all those around him.
