This last weekend Kerry and I saw the movie “Kinsey”. This is a drama about the works of Alfred Kinsey, an educated Zooologist who late in life changes his research interests to human sexual behavior. If you ever had anything to do with psychology, you’ve heard of his two text books: “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” and “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female.”
Going into this movie Kerry was much more education on the works of Kinsey than I was, being that she has a masters in social work. The movie starts out at full speed with very graphic language about sex and approaches it an almost an uncomfortable analytical view, which is what you have to do as a scientist studying something. I thought Liam Neeson did an excellent job portraying the type of character Dr. Kinsey must have been. His co-star, Laura Linney, also did an excellent job playing Mrs. Kinsey.
All-in-all I really liked this movie and would recommend it. However, I wouldn’t go see this movie with anyone you do not feel comfortable talking to about sex, because it will spark conversation.
