- Comment
- I watched this on TV first, then I bought DVD. Alan Rickman & Bill Nighy are a good combination. It was better if there were a little more surprise. I hadn't noticed Rachel Griffiths was in this film as of today.

- A look at the life of Alfred Kinsey (Neeson), a pioneer in the area of human sexuality research, whose 1948 publication "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" was one of the first recorded works that saw science address sexual behavior.
- Comment
- If such a man was my father, I would be very unpleasant. I don't deny having a sexual conversation is needed for us sometimes and it's not evil though, he, Alfred Kinsey, is talking about too much, I mean he is very direct and he also has neither delicacy nor grace.
- Actually the main reason which I watched this film is to see Luke MacFarlane as Bruce Kinsey, but he only appeared a few minuites and a few lines. In the delated scene, there was a scene he was swimming.
- The historical background of this film is in late 40's and early 50's and was strongly influenced by Christianity. I think many people who is living now never thought about such a practiced asceticism situation.
- Anyway in this film, Alfred Kinsey is written as a man who is a little strange but research ardor though, real he was a bit different from normal person.

- Comment:
- I'm just watching right now. Rachel Griffiths sounds like speaking Welsh accent. I like it. Matthew Rhys and Rachel Griffiths play together in Brothers & Sisters, USA TV show.
- It was a moving film. Welsh accent made me a little difficult to catch small conversations, but it didn't matter. As a story, one thing I couldn't stand was she used money all into horse racing after they won by their performance. They came back to their village and almost all people came to celebrate their prize, but they learn Annie Mary used all of them into horse racing. They went back to their home one by one, even her best friends Hob and Nob. Next day, she went to Hob and Nob's coffee shop though, they were very cold and told her they couldn't talk now. She was devastated. After her leaving, since Nob started sobbing, Hob has approached him and when Nob said, "Never.." while sobbing, Hob embraced him from his back while saying, "Shi shi shi". I don't know what he wanted to say because of my poor understanding of details of story, but I had sympathy with Nob's sob. It's not the reason I like Matthew Rhys.
