Review of Lovelace

":Lovelace" is a bibliography set in the early 1970's that follows the life of Miss "Linda Lovelace"- The first porn star in American History. The film is based on her story from when she was a teenager growing up in a strict Christian family with an ex-military sergeant father and how she went on the path to become the first pornographic actress to star in a feature length nude film. Throughout the film she becomes captive in an abusive relationship with her husband who forces her to keep starring in these movies threatening her life. The film stars some highly talented actors who all were casted excellently. Amanda Seyfried plays the raw portrayal of Linda Lovelace and by far steals the show! Peter Sarsgaard stars as Chuck Traynor, Linda's manipulative, evil husband who takes all the money she ever makes from doing pornography for his coke addiction. And Sharon Stone takes the role as Linda's protectively stubborn mother who forces Linda to stay with Chuck, for better and for worst. It also stars the likes of Chris Noth, Hank Azaria, and James Franco as the young, handsome Hugh Hefner! My only concern about this brilliantly acted, triumph story is who accurate the entire film is. At the beginning of the movie it says it was based on real events but I believe that to find out what it was like for Linda would be to read her novel "Ordeal" about her experience in the pornographic film industry and how she became a spokesperson for violence against women in the porn industry. All in all I do believe it is worth it to watch the film because it sends an important message in an intense way about male violence against women.
