"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."
If nude scenes are essential to movie plots, why isn't their absence from old classics felt as a shortcoming? And if "realism" demands nudity, why do we only see beautiful young women in the raw? Why don't we see more fat old men naked?
