Director celebrates sex researcher's
The new movie Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson, chronicles the life and work of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey. A sadomasochistic pedophile who abused children as young as five months to accumulate data for his research, Kinsey helped launch the American sexual revolution through his 1948 book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.
The movie, which is slated to open on November 12, 2004, was written and directed by Bill Condon, a homosexual activist, and financed by Myriad Pictures. MGM/ United Artists backed out of distributing the film after controversy developed over the movie's portrayal of Kinsey. Fox Searchlight Pictures is the distributor.
Academy Award-winning actors Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks, Kevin Spacey and Harrison Ford all opted out of starring in the film.
Condon has said of his film, "It does feel like its time to remind people of Kinsey's ideas, which I think are liberating. I hope there's an exhilarating feeling you get when you come out of the theater. There would be "no Playboy or Dr. Ruth without [Kinsey's] liberating effects." [WorldNetDaily, Feb.]
Kinsey and the kids
According to early reviews, the film barely mentions Kinsey's recording of child sexuality data, with one young staff member expressing distaste.
