Comment:

often said that any sexual practice is respected between freely consenting adults. This saying explicitly condemns pedophilia but leaves aside the issue of sex with animals, between humans accept that sexual freedom is one of the rights of the person, but can say that an animal is sexual freedom? Does sexuality goes beyond animal instinct? Is it abuse having sex with an animal? Could it be more acceptable sex with some species than with others? The concept that animals have rights is very recent, very recently that our country has been penalized animal abuse per se, without considering it as damage to property of another person. Today (if amongst our readers is someone who knows more about the subject, let us know) zoophilic porn film moves in a legal vacuum: it is not regulated but not banned, in contrast to practices such as dog or cock fights, who are being treated as abuse.

As the movies not porn, this taboo zoophilia has been raised in some movies, like the sordid Poodle of Bigas Luna, or humorously in an episode of Everything you ever wanted to know about sex but never dared to ask for Woody Allen, but no doubt my love Max shines in this particular subgenre to carry out treatment of the subject devoid of curiosity and sensationalism, which gives it a dial tone surreal. Walking through the zoo, Margaret meets Max, a chimpanzee, and a love at first sight arises between them, or at least Margaret is convinced that it is. Chimpanzees are our closest relatives, are very intelligent, capable of understanding the language, and basic responses display different moods to different people, depending on their treatment of them. According to scientists, are as intelligent as a young child, "Margaret raves or Max really loves her? Is this love is wrong in itself or only problematic due to the backlash against society?

These questions makes Peter, the husband of Margaret comprehensive, that represents the point of view of logic and the viewer, but throughout the film is assumed to be normal relations between women and chimpanzee. Peter and Margaret are an open couple who want to respect the other's freedom to have affairs and mistresses, not hidden, unless the particular case of Max, his extramarital affairs. To avoid losing his wife, Peter agrees that the chimpanzee is installed in his house for her and the couple's son, quickly becomes a member of the family. Peter is not as tolerant at first with this relationship and shows jealous to see the special bond that unites Max with Margaret: This time it's not an adventure but of something deeper. The film, greatly shocking the ease with which we are shown this situation, it describes the process by which Peter, and with it the viewer, agrees that your marriage becomes a menage a trois regardless of social prejudices and the boundaries between species. Max my love becomes a whole argument against the conventional and for the freedom and diversity. Top Scenes
