Representations of the sexuality of older people have been largely absent in mainstream films until recent times. Cinema as an art form has historically denied or ignored the fact that humans are sexual beings their whole lives. In this paper critical discourse analysis is used to examine four comedy films released between 1993 and 2012 that tackle the subject of 'senior sexuality'. All four films are explicit in representing older people as sexual beings but, unlike films about young people's sexual activity, the details of sexual encounters are left to viewers' imaginations. Two of the films challenge the notion of a heteronormative old age.
直到最近，主流电影中很大程度上都没有对老年人性行为的呈现。从历史上看，电影作为一种艺术形式一直否认或忽视人类一生都是有性别的个体这一事实。在本文中，批判性话语分析被用于审视1993年至2012年间发行的四部探讨“老年人性行为”主题的喜剧电影。所有这四部电影都明确将老年人描绘成性活跃的个体，但与关于年轻人性活动的电影不同，性接触的细节留给了观众的想象。其中两部电影挑战了异性恋规范的老年观念。
