Must See Movie...

How sad is this?

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Out of all the X-rated films that could have taken on such a place in the history of the world, it's ridiculous that "Deep Throat" is the one to rise up as the title synonymous with boundary pushing in society. It isn't good by almost any standards! Getting that off my chest, I was pleasantly shocked by how rich in all ways "Inside Deep Throat" is. This cannonball of a nonfiction movie should be watched by some of those teen girls who think that porn is the place for them. I'm not a prude, just a concerned adult who thinks the legal age for performing in porn should be 21 and not merely 18. The lives that would be saved, for lack of a better term, make this a sensible modifying of the laws regarding adult entertainment. (William Margold, who's spent many years writing, producing and performing in the world of X said virtually the same thing a while back.)The lives of the late Chuck, Linda, Gerard and still alive Harry are like four bumper cars that all crashed together in a curious stroke of fate and the fallout is still being felt today. The overwhelming reason is money. Chuck abused and pimped Linda, Harry had his freedom threatened for receiving a pittance to star in the film and Gerard almost had his life ended for being in the way of mob thugs that realized giving him a tiny piece of "Deep Throat" profits would cost them millions.And what millions there were! No one will know the true total, due to such unbridled greed that led to skimming, threats and people disappearing forever. Not until "The Blair Witch Project" came along had another entity in film been such a money tree. The latter became popular from a silly internet based hype, "Deep Throat" because certain officials wouldn't just let it pass with a natural cinematic demise. Some people, such as Joseph McCarthy's right hand man, Roy Cohn, were worse criminals in the damage they caused to society, but felt a need to grandstand against the hippie era and this film was the bastard child of the love generation. Seeing Harry Reems debate Cohn on TV is one of the great moments in this exploration into the human need to feel superior. Superior to maybe just their own image in society's funhouse mirrors of public versus private lives.

Deep Throat is a movie that had the sort of impact on porn that Night of the Living Dead had on zombie movies. It wasn't the first, and it may not be the best, but it had the biggest impact on its specific form and style. The irony for Deep Throat, and not the same for Night of the Living Dead, however, is that not that many people who watch porno movies today have even seen it. Perhaps since it is, after all of the hoopla and trials and tribulations, a pornographic movie, it can't be looked at as real "art" or even a guilty pleasure of bad-movie proportions. It's a "dirty movie" and it will stay that way, almost in spite of what its director Gerard Damiano has in mind for its potential for porn films to cross over into Hollywood films (after the fact, of course, of it being the monolithic success it was).This documentary takes a look at the making of the film, where its director and star Linda Lovelace and not-ready-for-primetime co-star Harry Reems somehow came together from various places to make a movie with an inspired/absurd premise: the clitoris is not above the vagina but inside the throat, and of course wackiness ensues. We see some clips of the movie- some being that even as an NC-17 rated documentary it can only show so much of the actual footage from Deep Throat- including that climactic finish (ho-ho) where rocket-ships are sliced into the footage of Lovelace's orgasm from her unusual predicament. The story of the making of the movie is interesting in and of itself, but that's not really the focus of the filmmakers, or what its primarily concerned with as far as I could tell.What Inside Deep Throat posits is the film's significance and importance in the scope of American culture and American politics, specifically the pornography and obscenity laws put into place at first by Richard Nixon with his Supereme Court appointees, and later with Regan's own report in 1986 with the commission in porn (non-scientific findings). There's much interest to find, and that the filmmakers take, in formulating this film as part of the battleground, and why not - it was the Titanic of its time, and a profit-making enterprise that was run by the mob! We see how porn movies at the time were an 'independent' thing, but only by a basis of a few guys putting up money with shady ties and backgrounds. This also makes up for the best section of the film, where Deep Throat becomes the target of censors (first in New York, with a judge who didn't even know what a clitoris was, then across the country), and then the FBI who track down a whole conspiracy of money from the movie being "collected" by spotters and trackers. Did it even make $600 million? Who knows, maybe more, maybe less. But this finally leads to a trial of Harry Reems- someone who only acted in the film but didn't have immunity- and had to stand trial on obscenity charges. The outcome of the trial ended up being ironic for his fate: no jail time, a dismissal of the charges, but a forever tarnished career.If the film works best as a saga of Deep Throat and the story of porn in America since then, it doesn't work quite as well in chronicling the fates of its players after Deep Throat's release. Some of the interviews the players in this story are fascinating; my favorite was the distributor, now an old man, who during the interview is interrupted by his wife who is nervous about him giving any information on what is now a legal matter, even, as noted, more than thirty years after the fact. What's murky is the information with Lovelace, her involvement in the feminist movement, and Reems' troubles with drugs/alcohol, and what ever happened with Damiano's own career. Perhaps that could make a documentary in and of itself, specifically for Lovelace who was a walking contradiction (or, as Damiano says, just needed to be led). But as it is, Inside Deep Throat is a thoughtful movie on a "sick" profession, and an iconic movie, for better or worse. It makes one curious to just see the movie - a movie Damiano once said isn't very good.

Inside Deep Throat (2005) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Wonderful documentary that takes a look at the making of Deep Throat and all the trouble that followed. I just watched the actual film earlier this year in order to see what all the controversy was about but the documentary did a great job showing it even if you haven't seen the actual movie. I wasn't too familiar with anything that went on so most of what was being said here was new to me and perhaps that's why it was so interesting. The fact that the government was fighting the film for being "harmful" plays out rather interesting in the final act of this film considering the effect it had on those involved with the movie.

It's time for me to get vocal about the documentary "Inside Deep Throat". Documentary filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato take a profound look on how this little porn film in the 70's called 'Deep Throat" had such a deep impact. Let's face it! A documentary that deals with this subject matter only cums once in a while. Let's also face her, I mean face it again! "Deep Throat" was the revolutionary porn film. "Inside Deep Throat" reveals how "Deep Throat" was banned in many cities, but it was still resilient & hard enough to be the most profitable film of all time! That is a Deep Thought right there! The documentary also focuses on the fate of the porn stars of "Deep Throat" which were Linda Lovelace and Harry Reems. Lovelace was blackballed by many organizations when trying to get work after her porn career, probably because the bosses of those companies found out that she did not give too many blueballs in her past. Reems was actually the scapegoat by being charged of lewd behavior for just appearing in the film. The B & B doc makers also interview Gerard Damiano who was the sex ring leader of "Deep Throat" or should I say its director. "Inside Deep Throat" also unveils some more fascinating information which were a mouthful to swallow. So listen my fellow fellatios, I mean fellows and fellowettes! It is time for you to ingest the truth behind "Deep Throat" by being a voyeur to "Inside Deep Throat". This documentary film is "Porn To Be Alive"! **** Good
