Lights! Camera! Kiss! - Intimacy on screen Flashcards
blockbuster
very successful movie or book that sells many copies and makes a lot of money.
There are classic black-and-white romance movies like 1951’s, ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, and the love affair between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in ‘Casablanca’, made in 1942.
You’re really showing your age …
In their time all these movies were blockbusters, And this success was often due to the on-screen romance between the leading actors.
intimacy
very close personal or sexual relationship between a couple.
In romantic movies, love is in the air. Couples hold hands and kiss, or in other words they show intimacy – a close romantic, or sexual relationship.
But while real couples kiss and hold hands all the time, actors in movies are just pretending to be intimate, and this can lead to problems.
Yes, whether it’s a kiss or a full-nudity sex scene, filming intimate scenes for movies and TV is a delicate business,
stroke
gently and repeatedly touch with your hand in a pleasurable way.
A hand hold, a stroke of the cheek, you know, through to a hug, and then obviously, right the way through to intimate content – it might be familial content of an adult to a child; it could be the content of perhaps a medical procedure, someone having a mammogram, or it could be right the way through to intimacy, simulated sexual content.
simulate
do or make something that looks real but is not.

waiver
legal document to either allow or prevent something being done in a different way from usual.
With actors from the US, what they do have, what they put in place is that with each and every intimate scene we create a nudity / simulated sex waiver, for each and every scene and I actually really like that way of working. In the UK actors are asked to sign a nudity clause and generally that’s an overall, for the whole of a production.
each and every
every single one (used for emphasis).

She thinks it’s better if the actors agree to each and every scene.
