The most successful independently-produced movie ever made, bringing in a worldwide gross of $600 million on a budget of just $25,000. The documentary will not focus on the specifics of 'Deep Throat' as a movie necessarily, but will examine the reasons it was such a cultural sensation. Breaking down new barriers and helping establish pornography as a big business.
Ever since the film DEEP THROAT came out, porn has never been the same again, and I for one am thankful. What made this film so different from the other pornographic videos? Well, it was groundbreaking, as the title suggests the female takes the penis and takes it whole, not only were audiences shocked, but so was the men behind the law and they did what they believe they had to to shut this film down, as we see now with it's gross of 600 million worldwide, they were unsuccessful.
Call it art, call it obscene, but you have to admit it is interesting. Inside Deep Throat showcases the lives that this movie destroyed, the star, the director and the actor. Unfortunately for this film, the interests wears off half way through the movie, right after the actual act is seen on the screen. The comedy wears thin after the unbelievably funny Hitler-cat scene. It's tragic to hear what happened to the Star of the film, but unclear about her decisions in why she chose to boycott porn, then do it again. The main sympathy goes to Harry Reems who was unjustly targeted by everyone because the others were not to be harmed.
Dennis Hopper narrates us through the history of what happened during the success and controversy of the film. We see the views of some notorious figures in the business such as Larry Flynt, Hugh Hefner, John Waters, Bill Maher and Camille Paglia to name a select few.
The final 10 to 15 minutes of the film seemed rushed through the editing in order to stay in that 90 minute time frame. Whether the movie was made for a thought-provoking manner, or just for the fact that the filmmakers wanted to see if they could make money off another successful film, and have fun while doing it if you know what I mean.
