Slippery Slope

 Like ebock, I realized I never posted about seeing that film, "Slippery Slope," so I'm going to do so now. Sorry!

To me, the film was mainly a source of entertainment. I felt like it didn't really have a strong message about the porn industry- or at least whatever message the director was trying to convey was hidden under lots of humour so it was hard to take seriously. If there was a positive message that the film enforced it would be that not all porn stars are these helpless beings that lack agency. Some (if not many) are in control of their selves and embrace their sexuality. Coming from a class where we talked about sex work a lot, none of this was new to me so perhaps this is why the film had less of an effect.
That said, I did really enjoy it. I liked the way it was filmed and the quirky relationships between characters. I just wish it delved more into sex work issues than merely providing a humorous film that skimmed the surface of those issues.
