My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form. Ivan Reitman animalbasicallyborrow Change image and share on social
I'm not sure I agree with the thesis, because I think that even though something grotesque or gross has been part of film since way back, what we accept or what we can get away with on the screen is broader now. Ivan Reitman acceptagreeback share on social
