The recent outcry regarding the nude scene having been added to the latest "Harry Potter" movie has piqued my interest. I did read the series, so I know there were no nude scenes in them.
I find it "very curious indeed" (pardon the pun) that the same movie industry, which became apoplectic about folks who made a business of "cleaning up" the language and sex in films, seems to have had a change of heart when it comes to adding scenes that were not in the original.
Hollywood was so incensed by the audacity of entrepreneurs who would deign to alter the artistic integrity of the original films, that they took them to trial, and won!
Apparently things have changed. Perhaps they feel a gratuitous nude scene might bump viewership (that is, revenue). This hypocrisy is not lost on the public, however, and may actually have the opposite effect.
I wonder ... if anyone decides to remove the scene from this film, will they be sued for "altering the art?"
How ironic.
