Very interesting post. Could you describe what you would call "weak" reluctance acting. Many have posted in various threads about what they like to see from the actress in r*** scenes. I'm just wondering if one viewer's "weak" might be another viewer's "submissive" or "feeling morally compromised" or even "physically stimulated while emotionally shutting down." I tend to watch with the mute on to make it easier to read into the scene my own preferences.
Yumcrs066, if you have time, it would be helpful to know what betrays weak acting for you: is it the way lines are spoken, the sounds they make, their facial expressions, body language...?
For me personally its more on the acting/subtle body movement/non linear facial expression, but like you said , one man's poison can be another man's food. Some ppl may just like the weak submissive close eyes and shake head and little resistance. But by no mean I am a fan of violent attacker movies such as slapping , beating , violent shoving etc. I am more focused on the actresses' reaction rather than the actual attack itself tbh =D
For E.g Long post ahead guys.....
Apologies for all the watermark in advance>.<
In the recent Molester Impregnation Wanz-408 with Shelly Fujii
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=tkwanz408
There's a scene where she try to push aside the molester and then realise the entire train carriage were into the gang too..
She actually look around shocked(although abit too mildly) when the rest join in , while many lesser expressive actresses will just "close eyes and shake head" already "expecting" the entire carriage to join in.
While I am a big fan of big boobs, that let me check out ADN-075 Young wife something (shaking boobs?) THIS IS QUITE GOOD (sorry for the caps , read on guys to see why)
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=adn075
I was just expecting low level vase type acting while just focusing on big boobs , Mei Matsumoto really surprise me with her level of portraying resistance sophistication(yep i coined that term up).
And the protagonist is Mr Dignified , nick given by Jug, however I like to call him the Ponzi Guy.. like some actresses , he only got 1 facial expression in whatever role or position he play (Wanna buy into my ponzi scheme?)
Nobody stealing her expensive Victoria's Secrets to pay for some ponzi scheme
She really fought hard for her panties man and her expressions show quite the appropriate distress (not close eyes and shake head again) nor too much distress. (Just right , mmmm like a gourmet chef seasoning)
You are buying into my ponzi scheme whether you beat me or not (yes she beating him , I like her to beat me too in this way if you seen the movie)
She is actually really trying to push him away , but you never guess , quite the level of artfulness
Sorry can't resist it (OT)
You better buy into my ponzi scheme or else...
I really recommend ADN-075 , to me , its really a good indication of a combination of reluctance combined with artful distress.
And also a very good indicator of actress sophistication is the forced blowjob in forced movies. While she said no no , once the pants is down , immediately she open her mouth. Eh....
Comparatively after u watch ADN-075 , try
RBD 703 starring Yui Hatano
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=rbd703
Urm yep she is pretty all right and good body , well there is some light resistances to be fair and I chose the most bland SS , but frankly the resistance level seem more suitable for a scene like someone being drugged with aphrodisiac and trying to grapple whether to have sex or not even if its wrong scenario. But basically that SS summarise how i felt about the movie. Watch it to see what I meant.
Another low sophistication but very pretty actress imo is Misuzu Tachibana.
I saw her in
http://www.dmm.co.jp/mono/dvd/-/detail/=/cid=adn065.
She is really quite pretty imo to me , but however thats all about it.
She is even more 1 Dimensional than Yui Hatano , in fact in the 2 movies I saw her in she only got this >.< face , minimum body and facial expressions in regardless in whatever situation she is in. This is a very calm woman in the most hated situations.
Not sure if I can convey reluctance sophistication correctly when i post this, i guess there really much more to it , but generally I guess this what can be put to words. But like leebar say , my perceptions may be different of another person level or idea of artful or appropriate reluctance. So I guess its more of a personal opinion than a "this should be right way" to do it.
