The One that Got Away: On Inherent Vice

[Mark Kohut]

i only glanced at this...not wanting to read it NOW---if ever when I
caught some of the BIG (PRETENTIOUS) WORDS...

Male gaze of heterosexuals......yes, and I say Pynchon also sez: women
emerged as sexual beings in the sixties is a theme....
which is why the male gaze happens but 'the male gaze' concept comes
from within bourgeois society, I suggest, and in the middle of the
hippie days (as concept) it was natural not a repressed societal gaze
of desire....I want to say....

A---and i think in the movie the sex scene more clearly sez: this
ain't the love children sex it used to be....they are both on the cusp
of leaving that utopian hippie time...this scene carries undertones of
the sadomasochistic sex in GR.....because they are now both beyond
that glorious innocence....and incipiently corrupted by society...(Doc
has a straight-chick lawyer squeeze,Shasta sorta left him because on
the make)

in the book Shasta makes Doc come with her 'busy hands' after some,
maybe six slaps....in the movie it is "worse' re
"natural"......
