Porn can be liberating, says Scarlett Johansson

"Pornography can be degrading or can be sexually liberating, if you know how to use it and it is made from an artistic point of view," femalefirst.co.uk quoted the 28-year-old as saying.

"But 'Don Jon' is not a film about pornography, it is a social criticism against consumerism," she added. She retains her modesty in the comedy as the seductive girlfriend Barbara, a character she could identify with.

"I loved the sweetness of Barbara. Like her, I grew up with young people like them, well educated, perfect. They are a very determined group of New Jerseyites. In fact, I refer to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, actor and director of the film, helping to shape the character," Johansson said.
