Watching the HBO series about the town of Deadwood back in the old west it is saturated with the F bomb word. I have witnessed this abuse in another movie once and I thought about the script writers sitting around the table insisting on inserting that word in every other sentence spoken. It just goes to show how vulgar our society has become in so many ways.
I guess I've become immune to it. Vulgarity saturates everything nowadays and apparently it is only bothersome to us old boomers. (Of course, I will toss an f-bomb on occasion myself so there's that.) What I find more cringe-inducing is the gratuitous sex scenes in movies (and some television). I don't need to see that, thanks.
Vulgarity is in everything now, movies, commercials, songs. Even a 8-year-old little girl on the news saying the F word.
I completely agree — it's everywhere now, from movies to music. It feels like shock value has replaced creativity in many cases. I miss when storytelling could be powerful without relying on constant vulgarity.
I have dropped the F bomb a few times during our 24 year marriage, but have always told my wife "I'm sorry for saying that" afterwards. We have one movie, with John Travolta whom we like, To Paris With Love, where the F bomb is dropped quite a bit. We gave to the Goodwill, the movie Saturday Night Fever, because it was just too "raw" for us. What can really bother us is, if we are talking to a man in a restaurant and he will drop the F bomb with my wife standing right there. What even beefs us more, is when the guy says that word and he is with young kids and/or friends. However, that's the world we live in now.
Good point. Now the couple start the sex by simultaneously tearing at each other's clothing it seems exactly the same in every movie. It's as if it is their last hour of life. Ridiculous.
