Y tu mama tambien Y tu mama tambien, a film directed by Alfonso Cuaron. A twisted movie that that demonstrates the results of what happens when you let sexual desire dominates, and the mission to find personal happiness before death.
Though the movie is not all about sex and discoveries. Though its essence lies between the characters sexual journeys.
The viewers might find the movie appalling and the sex scenes more visible and not the movies actual concept. Its usage of constant relentless camera shots, reaction shots and cross cutting made the films actual concept ambiguous. And also partially capturing the sense of what traveling is like. Beneath those shots and sex scenes there are certain messages that the film portrays, especially

There are elements of desires and temptations portrayed in the movie, on how it can hurt an established relationship. And how things can change despite the things you’ve been through. How you decided to resolve issues, answer questions and make decisions after. The sex scenes and the conversations plays a huge role in the overall concept of the movie.
At first, the film seems to solely focus on sex, but its sole focus is about how it broadens your perspective when you travel or have a time for your self. A time where you get to picture things differently, how sentimental you get when your death is near and the thought of betrayal. Traveling in an unusual way and going to places that is less known and meeting locals gives you a better glimpse of what their culture is like. You see more and discover more, and what ends a certain journey is when things start to sink in to your thoughts and after that you’ve suddenly changed. This can be seen if you analyze the characters action in the

How you end the journey is what makes a journey great. A journey that began with adventures and fun and only to end it with a tragedy is not something you want to look forward into the future. Watching the last scene and analyzing it would give you a broader perspective of the movies theme. The last scene shows Julio and Tenoch waking up at the same time where Luisa had left them. It’s the part how things are just starting to sink inside their minds. They begin with an exciting adventure, discoveries, crazy pursuits, contradictions and a bit of understanding along the way. Then suddenly things didn’t turn out the way they thought it would be. The last scene is the best example of what only makes a journey worth remembering is on how happy you felt when it ends.
Though the funny thing is, after such a great journey it has to end in a tragedy. Hard to imagine how it could exactly happen, but then again. its one of those things about sex, you have the tendency to ignore things even though your aware how it can deteriorate a relationships or how things will change just for the sake of sex. Its a natural result of what happens when you let sexual desire dominate. The last scene doesn’t exactly generalize the whole concept of the film, but it does give a new beginning to the films actual
The film focuses primarily on the negative ways in which the themes of infidelity and jealousy effect intimate relationships. Leon’s cheating causes Sonja to break, as she is unable to trust her husband and the father of her children. What I found interesting was what Sonja said in her therapy session, being that she isn’t as much worried about Leon sleeping with another woman as she is about him lying
2) What are some of the themes that are central to the film? How have they been communicated?
The capacity of sexual feelings within the individual is central to both the development and fundamental basis of any significant character. As observed in both 'One flew over the cuckoos nest' (AKA Cuckoo's nest) and 'A Street car named desire' (AKA. St. car) sexuality emerges as a principal device used in defining a character to the audience.
Unlike the two stories we read in class, everyone struggles for survival, the naturalism idea in the movie is represented by people’s lust and greed, the desire for dominance of pleasure. People do whatever possible to gain those things.
Sexuality also plays a role in the feminising of this film. The film Alien does not show a love story, and Ripley still has sexual desires; “Dallas avoids both the romantic tendency to turn every story about a woman into a love story and the repressive tendency to insist that every strong women must be asexual” (Kavanaugh, 96). Having sexual intercourse with the doctor, and not having a love intrest in him teaches girls that they do not need to bash each other for sleeping with a man they are not in a relationship with. It also shows that strong women do not have to be asexual, and they can still be feminized in that sense without taking away from their power. This film attempts to normalize women having a sex drive. This is also shown as there
As for the the sex in the film, it seems like the director just brought in all the sex just to sell the movie. Liked he got lost
This experiment used an instruction sheet which indicated the relevant instructions for each condition. (This is included in Appendix 1). The experiment also used an identical clock for all the conditions with roman numerals depicting the numbers, where four was shown as IIII. (This is included in Appendix 2).

sexuality is part of Campion's underlying theme as she stresses the inner sexuality of characters
What makes two civilizations distinct? Is it the thousands of miles and years between them? The Roman Empire and the Aztec Civilization were separated by 1400 years and 6,000 miles, but this doesn’t mean that they’re completely different. Even though there are many obvious differences between these two ancient civilizations, their similarities pertaining to religion, agriculture, and military are remarkable.
The movie creates a sense of mystery and a sense of basic uncertainty that we normally connect with the element of desire. It uses darkness, threatening characters, ominous music and unusual editing sequences, all of which represents desire in a manner very typical of Hollywood narrative style. Desire is always associated with not knowing, posing questions that do not have answers, lack of narrative elements and confusing irrational series of random events. As Lacan speaks about desire in Seminar X, “as long as I desire, I know nothing of what I desire” (98). To depict this
Mainstream cinema is good at offering visual pleasures relying on scopophilia, whose subject, in the world dominated by the gender inequality, is males as the bearer of look, thus, to counter the convention, both films attempt to put females as the subject of the desires and the point of view, rather than passive images. However, those females do not really transcend the identity as male others, and are still constrained by the phantasy and obsessions oriented by male characters in screen, camera and spectators. Responding to the two avenues usually employed by traditional cinema to facilitate the pleasure, offering to males, these two films act differently. As an independent film, the Perpetual Motion adopts radical feminist aesthetics by
Sex is a powerful act that has the ability to transform an individual’s self experience, change
The movie could have degenerated into a love affair between two lost souls but "Lost in Translation" is too elegant and considerate to be the kind of movie where they go to bed and the viewer is supposed to believe that as a reaction against the problems that they have. They share something as private as their feelings rather than something as common as their bodies.
The Dirty picture is not merely an entertaining, erotic film. It deals with a lot issues in bits and pieces. The film attempts to mainly understand and portray the complexity of human sexulity. This review aims to depict how the film effectively plumbs the psychological depths of a plethora of characters who are at various stages of their sexual identities.
Reiterating the central place which sexuality occupied in the life of man, Dietrich writers: Sex … as contrasted with other departments of bodily Experience is essentially deep. Every manifestation of sex produces an effect which transcends the physical sphere and in a fashion quite unlike the other
