This is a trashy movie -- waste of time

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2013)

The content of this movie proved to be disgusting. So once again Hollywood is hard at work trying to tarnish and destroy a famous celebrity from days gone by. They seem to feel no sense of consciousness in displaying scene after scene of lurid and promiscuous details of Liberace's personal life. Yes he was a homosexual and probably did engage in dangerous sexual behavior, for which he paid the ultimate price. Seriously, does the general public need to know about his vanity and preoccupation with looking young? Also please leave out the bedroom love-making scenes between Michael Douglas and Matt Damon. Maybe I am in the minority, but watching men kissing each other, etc was revolting and actually turned my stomach. It saddens me that many great actors have chosen to waste their talent on this film. Dan Akroyd and Rob Lowe what were you thinking to pick this movie? I am not too surprised in Michael Douglas since he goes for shocking, violent films, such as Basic Instinct. I am very shocked to see Matt Damon playing this role. He was definitely the wrong choice being 40, since Scott was only 17 when their relationship started.
Probably the younger audience (under 40) does not remember Liberace anyway. Still whatever good name he once had, has been totally shattered. I am of the older generation, who are still offended by this kind of morally degenerate portrayal of a star. I have read other reviews and some young viewers seem to accept this as status quo. So where do we draw the line on what is acceptable and what is not? Today the R-rated movies show every form of love-making and profanity. Nudity is generally accepted. Subjects which were taboo only 20 years ago are now widely included, such as homosexual love-making on the set. Frontal nudity was once excluded, but now we see it all the time. It really scares me to think what will come next. Hopefully, I will not be here anymore to find out.
This is probably the worst review I have ever written. I try hard to find some redeeming light or feature which will help me be fair, but this time there is none to be found.
