Watch After Porn Ends For Free

You won't be disappointed!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

So the movie tries to give us an insight into the life (or after-life?) of those who have done porn movies. Depending on your viewing habbits, you may be able to recognize people involved here. But even if you never heard of them, the documentary tells you what they've done and where they went from there. A nice touch is the ending bit, where you get a "where are they now"/"what are they doing now?".Some of it seems a bit negative, but it just may have to do with the people that got selected. I do wonder if Jenna Jameson was asked to do that. Arguably one of the most famous ones, who also has retired (although she has shown privately that she has gone off the rails). Well if you don't count Pamela Anderson, who might have (unwillingly?) pioneered the celebrity Sex tape thing. So if you are interested what people go through, after their career this is the first one to watch ...

I am fascinated by this topic. We have seen the impact of the porn industry on people portrayed in fiction (Boogie Nights, Orgazmo, Lovelace) as well as in other documentary works by Louis Theroux and trashy, exploitative British TV docos. How people interact with the most popular and sought after taboo in the world is always interesting. "Life After Porn", however, doesn't capitalise on its' premise as well as it should. Positives: The biggest issue when tackling a controversial subject is the potential biases of the film-makers, yet in "After Porn Ends", the people behind the scenes never use their movie as propaganda, or a political tool on either end of the partisan spectrum. I wouldn't be surprised either way if the director and producers were pro or anti-porn. It offers an impartial glimpse into the motivations of a smorgasbord of characters from different aspects and eras of the pornography industry. There are subjects who had positive childhoods, negative childhoods, good parents and bad, loved the work, and those who hated it. By being objective and showing such a wide selection of experiences, the film is showing us that this industry is just like any other in many respects, that your attitude is the key factor in determining your outlook. The equitable framing of all opinions allows audiences to make up their own minds and while you, the viewer, will find your own opinions represented in this doco, maybe you'll see a story that changes your mind, or challenges your previous misconceptions. So it is a film I would recommend on that basis, to contemplate all sides of this complicated commercial enterprise. Negatives: Most of the flaws are technical. The cinematography is flat-out dull and ugly most of the time, there is no visual flair, and the shots are often shaky and incorporate unnecessary snap-zooms. The music is also completely forgettable, to the point it feels like stock, free-from-YouTube material. There is however a nice little cover of 'The Velvet Undergrounds's "Sweet Jane" during the credits. Easily the worst technical shortcoming was the editing. They clearly needed to shoot with another camera in order to cut away the awkward jump cuts, awkward zoom ins, and to allow the interviews to flow better. There are moments where one person will be interviewed sitting down, CUT to them answering another question in a different location, then CUTting straight back to the initial interview location. It's jarring and makes the production feel so cheap and cookie-cutter. "After Porn Ends" only truly examines the life of a retired pornstar in the last act, which comes off a little like false advertising. I wish the film-makers had followed a newly retired star on their journey to reconnect with the outside world. However, we simply receive a standard, talking heads documentary with no distinguishing features that makes it remarkable. Conclusion: You can make up your own mind about whether you want to see this based on my review. It's a good starting point for anyone keen to learn about the business and its' varying effects on individuals. I was never bored, and it's pretty short with one or two sobering moments, and a few compelling interviewees. You can find it on Netflix, or on other internet platforms.Thanks for reading :) 5/10

*Spoiler/plot- After Porn ends, 2010. A documentary produced by a porn producer/director/actor that tries to explore and visit porn performers of the past asking them about their experiences, regrets, and future. Many academics and spiritual leaders are consulted for their interpretation on the many pron stars interview clips.*Special Stars- Mary Carey, Asia Carrera, Luke Ford, Nina Hartley, John Leslie, Amber Lynn, Houston, Seka, Raylene.*Theme- The sex for money trade is seldom beneficial to most people involved in it.*Trivia/location/goofs- Documentary, produced by a 'many decades' porn individual.*Emotion- This film is just more present day 'Reality TV' exploitation motivation and content. I was disappointed and hoping that their would be more non-porn academics speaking here on these matters. By interviewing the porn stars now, you seldom get an honest answer to even the most investigative questions. What I saw in this film (that was my questionable conclusion from the film's beginning) you hear adults giving rationalizations for their bad behavior or "Sour grapes". You hear some honest regret. You see how some people have a harder acceptance of life's 'learning curve' with the sex industry. Most, almost 98% regret their time and wasted efforts in porn. I don't see why they couldn't make better choices for their lives from the beginning. Any industry that equates people's self-worth with sex, drugs, and money should be a red-flag for all to keep away from. The film was a disappointment.

Quite an interesting documentary film. I noticed it as a "new addition" to the Netflix streaming movies and watched it that way. One of those interviewed in the film is an agent in the porn film industry, and it is he who says "X is forever." And that is part of the running theme here. Many of the porn stars included in this film are in the 40 to 70 year old range, some of them out of the porn industry for some years. Yet, inevitably something creeps into their lives related to someone else finding out about their former careers. No matter what their current orientation, like strong Christian or real estate agent or just happily married and retired, it seems that yes, the "X is forever."Most of the females seem to have gotten into porn after family difficulties in their youth, while generally the men just lucked into it as a way to make a few extra bucks. Some of them, especially several of the women, come across as very intelligent and well-spoken. One, Asia Carrrera (birth name Jessica Andrea Steinhauser) is a member of Mensa. So in general all of them seem not too different from any random slice of life, except for their careers in porn film.Interesting documentary film, just to see what life after porn can look like. Of note, some of them have gotten back in again, often simply to supplement their income. Sex between two people has always been a private thing, "taboo" to share with family and friends, but many in the porn industry just see it as another, mostly emotionless, activity that they can get paid very well for.The film includes a modest amount of clips of films of the various stars, but in total it isn't even a "hard R" compared to many of the raunchy, R-rated films coming out regularly.
