色情電影是錯是對？凌駕在道德層面的審判會導致潛在的性別歧視，而這背後隱藏的，則是傳統對女性的性壓抑和性霸凌。有趣的是45年過後，羅曼色情電影這主題交在新一代日本電影人手上，皆不約而同出現男女主次對換的情節，女性從被觀賞窺視，走向自我意識獨立。電影不再單純滿足男性的需求，而能使兩性平等地欣賞，滿足各自的需求。隨著女性整體社會地位的覺醒，女性在色情方面從被動走向主動，越來越多的女性願意欣賞色情電影，不可否認，色情文化和性釋放對於女性同具意義。社會肯定女性情慾文化的合理性是大勢所趨。

Instead of discriminating against female characters, some Roman Porno explore the inner struggles and societal pressure of women in a manner more profound than contemporary mainstream films. From the male gaze to female independence, the new Roman Porno visits these themes and explores equality between males and females in sex and love. This talk invites the audience to learn more about Roman Porno and its social background, and gain a clearer perspective on how female characters are depicted in these films.
