Sex: The Annabel Chong Story (1999)

Too much of everything

Powerful

Highly Overrated But Still Good

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

In the same year that Steve Zahn was winning a Special Jury Prize at Sundance for Happy, Texas, this movie was competing for the Grand Jury Prize. I have to admit that I was not expecting a film that discusses triple penetration to be one on my list, but it came highly recommended by someone I trust.This film will give you some very interesting things to see, and I don't mean naked women, even though there is plenty of that. I was intrigued that the mother of this middle-class Chinese girl from Singapore was interviewed. Anyone that knows anything about society in Singapore knows this is 180 degrees from reality. In fact Annabel says: To Singapore, pornography is filth. That's okay. But it's become a national ideology that, just, you know, a value judgment, you know, to do pornography is to be against the collective agreement of what it means to be a Singaporean. F*ck 'em. They can lick my a**.I had to laugh when one porn star (MIchael Coxx) stated that her signature act gave porno a bad name, and a porn star (Ona Zee) trying to pretend that she did "high class" porn.It was a great inside look at the business that killed Beta and will kill Blu Ray.I love fried zucchini, but I will never look at a zucchini the same way again.

Annabel Chong gang-banged her way to the top of the porn industry by having sex with 251 guys in 10 hours. Did she do it to make a feminist statement, for the money, or because she simply enjoyed the act itself? The film explores all the possibilities and more.This documentary is more about the person behind the act other than the actual act itself. Annabel is quite an interesting character. At times she comes across as highly intelligent, and other times she appears to be highly sensitive, fragile, and self-destructive.The documentary is presented through a serious of interviews and outtakes, some of which can be pretty disturbing.The parts in which Annabel demonstrates her techniques for self mutilation, as well as her mother in Singapore discovering what her her daughter has been doing in America for a living are particularly gut-wrenching.A very intriguing look at a this multi-faceted / multi-dimensional character and woman.Recommended!

I watched this simply because I was intrigued by the write up in the TV Guide which mentioned that Annabel Chong is the porn star who was setting a record for having sex with 251 men in 10 hours . Aren't you also intrigued ? There's two reasons for a prospective audience to watch this . One is that they're equally intrigued as I was and the second reason is that it sounds like really good masturbation fuel . If you're watching for the second reason you'll be bitterly disappointed since there's very little on screen sex but if you're watching for the sensible reason you'll still be as disappointed as the voyeurs . Ms Chong gives a pretentious neo feminist explanation of why she's doing it , something along the lines of " I'm doing this because I'll be striking a blow against chauvanism and by being in control of the situation I'll be showing that it's the men who are sluts " . I don't think Ms Chong has thought through he reasons fully . Either that or she's not a great communicator What is obvious is that Annabel Chong is certainly a very unhappy individual who probably needs to use sex in order to boost her esteem in much the same way as a person with a drink problem uses alcohol to boost their self esteem . Sex and alcohol like so many things in life are metaphysical false economies for the human soul . Luckily we see towards the end of the movie the self destruction that being a porn star can bring but Ms Chong unlike the audience can't see the woods for the trees

This film is quite disturbing because all you come away feeling is angry.Angry at the morons who exploited this woman , angry at the documentary maker ,who seemed to revel in the fact that this woman made the most appalling decisions and mostly you feel angry at Annabel Chong. This woman is the most pathetic specimen i have seen i many a long time. She has no regard for her family or her own health. After taking part in the totally unsexy gang bang she didnt care if she caught aids , she didnt care what her friend , family or college friends thought and most of all she obviously didnt care what a pathetic woman she looked like the general public by making the film. The only reason the porn industry wanted anything to do with this immature woman is because she had no scruples and would sleep with over 250 men. It certainly can't be because the woman is sexy or erotic in anyway. She is a pug like ugly woman who's teeth look like thy have been modelled on Stonehenge. All i can say is that if Annabel Chong ( or whatever your real name is) reads this please have some dignity and respect your body and family and leave the porn industry to those who are good at it and look the part. 5 out of 10.
