Deep Gold Live: Shower Scene

Why are shower scenes necessary in most movies? It ain’t like its “Psycho” where the scene propels the plot to reach its ultimate end. Besides the fleshy appreciation derived from such shots, audiences are left to wonder what substance this brings into the plot.

Like sex scenes, they’re fundamentally fillers and market pleasers. It largely depends on the target demographic the film’s focusing on. With action/suspense films, the target market is highly predictable. Most of the time it’s the 18-45 year old male crowd who enjoys action flicks and the flesh attached to it. This crowd of testosterone filled brains has allotted a hefty amount of disposable income to satiate their thirst for flesh.

The scenes bring in more greenery (not whitish) substance to the production company and with it, countless (highly dependent on the amount of skin shown) eyeballs to the screen.

It is art, so they say. Again, don’t take my word for it, just my 2 cents on the whole phenomenal trend shower scenes have shown over the years. I for one am included within the ranks of the 18-45year old flesh hungry crowd – and a proud member at that.

In this scene, Bebe Pham cleans away all the dirt collected through her hard day’s work. Guess searching for your missing boyfriend and gazillions worth of gold’s a bit too much for our heroine.

Sorry guys, that's all you're going to see...
Just watch the film when it's released,
perhaps you'll
see more of Bebe
