With No Hard Feelings and The Righteous Gemstones Season 3, 2023 is giving us a whole new level of on-screen altercations.
The Big Picture She comes out at night, she's ready to fight, and she’s naked. In short, she's a man-eater. Jennifer Lawrence turned heads this year summer, starring in the comedy blockbuster, No Hard Feelings. As the film made its streaming debut on Netflix this week, one particular scene is sticking out in people's minds. Lawrence battles a bunch of kids on the beach stark naked and throws a wicked punch.
No Hard Feelings 'Borat' Influenced a Generation of Naked Fight Scenes At the time Borat debuted, audiences had become so immune to looking at and objectifying Womens naked bodies on screen that two naked men was seen as taking it too far. But, as the years have progressed, the notorious naked fight scene in Borat has proven more influential in film and television than anyone could have ever imagined.
The fight scene is a perfect execution of slapstick comedy, but it's also a groundbreaking moment. Audiences are becoming used to seeing the male naked body on screen in vulnerable positions, which is revolutionary. Television has seen an extreme increase in male nudity of all shapes and sizes within the last few years, including Gen V and Euphoria, and it's leveled the playing field between genders.
Since film's conception, the movies have had a very simple relationship to female bodies. They're ogled and are meant to be eye candy for not only the men on screen but for the men watching too. No Hard Feelings begs to differ. The fight scene on the beach has gone viral after the movie debuted on Netflix this week, and it would have lost most of its power if Maddie wasn't completely naked.
