Yes, a woman may have breastfed in public but she would have done so discreetly by covering herself and the child. She wouldn't have flashed everyone some nipple before the child latched on. One of the reasons people wanted formula was to discourage women from breastfeeding in public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468526068381826908.post-78369523977738943602009-08-13T17:42:05.284-07:002009-08-13T17:42:05.284-07:00Actually, the nudity didn't bother me at all. ...Actually, the nudity didn't bother me at all. The violence was much more troublesome and I had a very difficult time watching the scenes where I thought animals might have been injured. By the way, breastfeeding WASN'T always taboo. That didn't really start until powdered formula was introduced into the market and when I was born in the 1970s it was still the norm, so I think that it may be just a "taboo" for younger generations.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10580793786388425812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468526068381826908.post-75434720019964724462009-08-13T14:36:46.849-07:002009-08-13T14:36:46.849-07:00The Wild Bunch surprised me a lot too.

The special effects, locations, and epic scale of the film really impressed me. If it wasn't for the camera quality which gave the film that "old" look, I would have thought this was made in the 90s. The amount of violence in the film surprised me as well. You see a lot of people get shot. Many were just innocent people caught in the crossfire. The Wild Bunch was a wild film indeed, especially for the 60s/70s.Justin Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378071684962548159noreply@blogger.com
