Proof it wasn't rape (spoilers)


When John is heading to Doc's shack to shoot him he starts imagining him having sex with Janette AND a blonde woman whom we never saw during the film. That blonde woman is John's picture of himself. ?She was letting Doc have his way with her without a fight. She was actually enjoying it. So it wasn't rape. It was consensual sex between Doc and John.

The blond woman on the beach was Robyn, John's girlfriend he was going to Sydney to meet for his holiday.
