Comment:

If such a man was my father, I would be very unpleasant. I don’t deny having conversation about sexual issues among the family, but he, Alfred Kinsey, is talking about it too much, I mean, he is very direct and he also has neither delicacy nor grace.

Actually the main reason that 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 deleted 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 himself was a bit different from normal person.
