Nature is a big part of his philosophy. He believed denying the urges given to us by nature was unnatural, and therefore all morality was vice, unless they were naturally inclined to only act morally.

There are some good Sade movies. Quills is good for most mainstream audiences, while Salo is better for fans of his stories.

Quills is about de Sade himself while he is an insane asylum. Salo is an Italian movie that is mostly the introduction and first chapter of his book, The 120 Days of Sodom, except the setting was changed to fascist Italy. Salo is very strong, and should not be viewed by children or adults with weak stomachs.
