Director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) vents, in a recent interview, about the loss of adult films in our industry. He explains that we are in danger of loosing the honesty within our artform as we tell our stories through a "family friendly" filter. He calls our time the "Pixarification"of cinema, because, like Pixar, most films after the 70s have been designed to satisfy all members of the family. He is not making a statement on how Pixar has ruined film (he praises them on their sophistication), but he knows that those films have their place and that films are lacking in the place prohibited for children. We need more movies that are honest depictions of sex and violence (Last Tango in Paris, Taxi Driver) that can make us feel.
