Marie and Jack: A Hardcore Love Story review

Have you ever wondered what it's like for the actors or actresses involved in adult porn in their own sexual relationships? Have you ever questioned how someone can watch their significant other have sex with another person? This movie is great for answering both questions from their perspective! Marie and Jack are both involved with the adult film industry and worked with Comstock Films on their "Real People, Real Life, Real Sex" series.

This movie is half-documentary and half-porn so don't expect more than that from the beginning. At the beginning of the movie, Jack and Marie spend a lot of time talking about their relationship and their sex lives. The remainder of the movie will switch back and forth between the interview type scene and a scene of the two of them making love. I'm not calling it fucking on purpose. Marie calls sex between her and Jack "pretty boring" or routine compared to porn. They both feel that part of what makes it special is the intimacy and emotional connection between them, and they are working to convey that side of sex in this movie. There is a discussion how when working in the industry often scenes are created and props are used, but that's not as spontaneous or natural for a relationship.

Just because they emphasize the emotional connection of sex between the two of them does not mean they leave out the physical. They discuss how Jack seems to make Marie come every time- with specific details. They use two cameras when shooting and alternate between them. One is generally focused on the faces and emotional side. The other is up close and very personal! There was some pretty *hot* footage of Jack's cock fucking Marie's cunt. I'm not sure where the camera was, but they found a couple of great angles some of the time. One of the special effects of the DVD that is especially nice if you are just looking for visual stimulation- you can watch the uninterrupted sex from either or both camera angles without the discussion.

The main drawback that I found is that it feels like a low-budget movie done in a hotel suite. I was bothered by the lack of lighting or surroundings when they were talking with Jack and Marie. I was ever more annoyed by the lack of any detail or color surrounding the sexual scene on Jack and Marie. This is a movie about real sex with real people in a completely neutral environment-- nothing as personal or scene-setting as a bedspread or a candle.

If you know what you are expecting the film is pretty good. It would be a great movie to introduce porn to someone that is less sure about watching or has seen some movies that really turned them off. I personally know that a lot of the porn on the market is not appealing to every woman.
