questions.......... what do you guys think?


first off..

do people REALLY get turned on by watching someone being f ucked, vomited on then farted on by a pig which then dies? I MEAN WTF!! what the actual hell..

also for people saying brando is attractive in this is wrong just wrong! for me i found him really creepy and rapey ,for example making all those weird noises when he didnt want to say his name and the butter scene. Just to clear it up.. that was anal right?!?!?

also apparently maria hadn't been warned about what was going to happen which must have been terrifying. I think for me throughout the film her constantly.. desperatly saying its over and brando persisiting I was happy he got shot !

also i bought the dvd of this and it says uncut version. i was just wondering what the difference was between the two.. what was edited out ect


what did u guys think?

He was trying to be disgusting in that scene, not arousing.

Yes

I'm never sure what to believe about that. Remember, they're both fully clothed and had read the script beforehand.

Marlon and Bertlucci discussed the butter scene (Brando's idea) before hand not telling her so to get her honest,pure reaction, which is why Brandon keeps looking at her eyes. She was told prior to the scene that they added soemthing and just go along with it. When he told her to get the butter, Bertlucci pointed her to go to another room where a PA handed her the prop and it was her idea to throw it at him, which is why Brando looked up at her.

The lines she had about the hallow spot were scripted, but Brando sliding the butter over to her and asking to get in her pants was not scripted and Maria was just told to go along. Brando was strong and flipped her over and forced her down very hard. Yes, it was anal, but it was faked, although Brandon told Playboy a few years after the film that he got a hard on during the scene, which made her tears even more intense because she wanted to stop the scene. She was mad at everyone in on set after the scene and wanted to leave. She was allowed to leave and they wrote the record playing scene that night and shot the next scene the next morning after Brando and others had assured her that the butter scene would earn her high awards and recognition in the film because it was great acting, and she said she wasn't acting. Brando disagreed and told her she was one with her character and really gained respect for her.

That's when they started their 8 day affair. One of which involved a three-some including the director, who was also bisexual like Brando was in real life.


I I'm just a girl, standing in front of the boy, asking Him to love her.
