Well it can t hurt, and really that s my point. When in doubt, remove some clothing and the rest just writes itself. Think about it. How often do we hear criticism of movies centering on their absolute lack of any realistic thread. Quite often because it s an accurate and understandable statement.
Movies work based upon one common goal the suspension of disbelief.
Remove that, and you ve got an audience full of people wondering why the hero just jumped from a burning building onto a nearby flatbed truck which just happens to contain a lifetime supply of mattresses. The moment something like that happens, I look at my watch and think about everything but the preposterous drama playing out before me. And if I m doing that, the filmmaker simply hasn t done his job. Which brings me back to nudity. There is nothing I hate more than to have my belief suspended by an absurdity in conjunction with film nudity, or the lack thereof.
