I've written on this site before that it appears to be a response to the transition from the 60s to the 70s. In the 60s, promiscuity and unrestrained sexual behavior were linked to the counterculture's desire to break free from old, conservative ideas. In the 70s the hedonism remained, but no longer had the political impetus that gave it meaning beyond simple gratification. In the world of Logan's Run the children of the dome have no real sense of intimacy or love, embracing unrestrained sexual pleasure for pleasure's sake. The film reportedly had some scenes depicting how the citizens were in reality callous and lacking empathy for others, but sadly these scenes were either deleted or never shot. It is only when Logan and Jessica move out of the dome that they genuinely fall in love and begin to care for each other. It is also that newfound sense of caring that drives Logan to return to the dome to save the others.<br /><br />And yes, I can't freaking believe this got a PG rating. The "Love Shop" scene alone would get a guaranteed R today.Steve K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02141959251034133806noreply@blogger.com
