Aging Male. 2003 Mar;6(1):18-23.
In popular feature films of the 20th century, the aging male is generally presented as a kindly, if feeble, old grandfather or as a ruthless villain. A handful of films from this era broke with tradition and took the bold step of exploring the social and medical implications of latent sexual impulses in this age group. Love for aging males was typically presented as a dangerous aberration that held the promise of tragic consequences. This paper will demonstrate that cinematographic presentations of geriatric male sexuality faithfully adhere to the medical dogma of the day.
在20世纪的热门故事片中,老年男性通常被描绘成一位和蔼可亲但体弱无力的老祖父,或者是一个冷酷无情的反派。这个时代有少数几部电影打破了传统,大胆地探讨了这个年龄段潜在性冲动的社会和医学影响。对老年男性的爱慕通常被表现为一种危险的异常行为,预示着悲剧后果。本文将证明,电影中对老年男性性行为的呈现忠实地遵循了当时的医学教条。
