Don Jon filmmaker Joseph Gordon-Levitt has compared Hollywood movies to adult movie as they both project ”unrealistic expectations” of relationships.
He has expressed this idea through his new movie about a adult movie-addicted womanizer.
”I think they’re both very similar. They both create equally unrealistic expectations and desires towards the opposite love. So, it’s a comparison I very intentionally wanted to make,” the actor said.
He also added: ”I certainly don’t watch adult movie like the character does. I won’t say I’ve never watched it. But, personally, I’ve been much more heavily influenced by romantic movies than pornography.”
We all get great expectations after watching Hollywood movies. Whether it is good or bad everyone decides for him/herself! I also believe each movie can be perceived different depending on your life conditions and certain moments. I have watched the trailer to the movie and I find it interesting, though the idea of porn and women repeats throughout the trailer, I guess throughout the movie as well. I know now it was done on purpose. I will wait for the movie to see the screens on the 1st of November, if I am not mistaken, and see what lesson it teaches us.
