The sex life of Felicity
This is a story about Felicity who has never truely experienced sex before, going on a journey to HongKong, where she finds her true love and the sex life she wants. The ending says it right "To me, true love should be made by both affection and sex". This is the quotation that I loved the most. Sadly the movie made me feel like Felicity loved Miles just because of sex. While Miles was gone, she sought for sexual pleasure from Mei Ling and another guy. She wouldn't be doing that if she had so much affection for him. The reality is that a lot of people today live with their partners without affection. They live for sex. The movie had a lot of lesbian sex and hetero sex scenes. Great erotic movie, and great scenes except for one scene that Felicity is being groped on the breasts by a Hong Kongese, and sex is being implied, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Mediocre erotic film
I wonder if the reviewers who raved about how they loved it when they were 13 years old, have seen this one in the last 25 years. Being addicted to late 70's/80's soft-core of the "Emmanuelle" variety, i had to hunt this one down. "Felicity" is nothing more than another wanna-be "Emmanuelle," but lacks the European style of those Italian and French cult films. The lead actress, played by Glory Annen is an absolute bore compared to Euro goddesses Laura Gemser and Sylvia Kristel. She is more of the plain, girl next door type, but perhaps this is deliberate? Penthouse bimbo Joni Flynn is a bit sexier, with a more exotic and Asian look, but gave the most hysterically bad acting performance i have ever witnessed. A sexy woman, maybe, but too cheap-looking, and dizzy to be taken seriously as Felicity's "sexual counselor." The men fare no better here. Felicity's love interest is an Aussie dude who is wearing more mascara than his female companion, and the actor is a little too old to play the part he is playing. And the guy who takes her virginity is a typical, oily creep of an older man. The worst thing of all, is the film seems somewhat racist; A white girl from Australia, travels to exotic Hong Kong, to have sexual encounters... with white people! What's wrong with Asians? She should have just stayed in Australia. What could have been a fascinating study of a young Western girl discovering the erotic mysteries of the Orient, turns out to be boring, typical exploitation, a film that is too timid to take any risks. But nothing is more miserable than the soundtrack, particularly the main theme, which is played over, and over, and over again; "She ain't Mama's little girl no more.." The only plus to this film is the beautiful Hong Kong scenery, which is the best thing this has to offer. Also, technically speaking, "Felicity" is a well-made film, and does feature some good erotic scenes. A missed opportunity, this could have been a classic in more competent hands.
