By MailOnline Reporter. They are both starring together in the remake of the family classic Annie. Talking about the movie which told the story of a fictional American football team Cameron and Jamie spoke on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Monday, about a rather awkward naked locker room scene, featuring a bevvy of naked men. Scroll down for video.
It's a tale of two movies -- and a stark example of the film industry's complicated, contradictory attitudes toward male nudity. In "Any Given Sunday," Oliver Stone's contemplation of the kaleidoscopic collisions of football, Cameron Diaz , playing the young owner of the Miami Sharks, tours the locker room after a victory. The camera follows the blond star as she stops to congratulate one player, who stands naked and larger than life in every way. He is just one of a number of men shown that way. The scene is simultaneously a realistic view and an ostentatious flouting of a longtime Hollywood taboo against full frontal male nudity in mainstream movies. Yet it received an R rating, which means minors can attend with an older person, rather than the more restrictive NC, a commercial kiss of death because it bans anyone under 17 from the audience. Now recall the controversy over "Color of Night," in mid, when the Motion Picture Association of America objected mightily to shots of a naked Bruce Willis, front and center. To win an R rating back then, director Richard Rush was forced to excise a six-minute segment, consigning the offending organ to the very briefest of cameos. So does this mean that our standards for what is acceptable on screen have changed? Film and cultural critics offer widely varying views.
