the part of this movie I loved....

Was the scene in which Crumb is talking to the woman at the restaurant and she's telling him the horribly negative impact his comics had on her as a child and how it terrified her that she was destined to be treated the way his comics showed women being treated.

I loved his honesty and openness in his response to her which was (paraphrasing) "i just have to hope that me being honest about what i'm thinking helps someone. i don't know honestly.... maybe i shouldn't be allowed to do this. Maybe i should be locked up and have my pencils taken away."

What a refreshing view on art and the impact it has on society. Issues of censorship, where the line is, whether the line should be crossed, etc. have been debated forever (and probably always will be), but it's amazing to me how few people are just willing to acknowledge what a difficult issue it is. Too often we see someone say "Oh no, here's the correct opinion to have, and if you don't agree with me, you're dead wrong."... as if there aren't valid arguments to be made both ways.

Crumb is basically saying "I don't know", which i think is the only response to the issue that is truly wise. It acknowledges the gray area that comes up. And for the artist himself to be saying this is what made it have even more of an impact... for him to be open to the fact that he might be doing damage and that he doesn't have all the answers. No arguing, no pretentious speeches, just complete candor.

For me at least, it was a very profound moment in the film... a hot button issue coming up as realistically as it can between two people, and watching it be acknowledged with such honesty.
