Plot hole re: letter (spoilers)


Question: she's only with Tony for a few days (pretty much drugged and unconscious the whole time), and when she comes to, he's written this brutal, knife-to-the-heart of her parents letter to be sent, separating herself from them. But really, the emotion the letter's conveying would be a feat for someone who'd known her--and her relationship with her parents--intimately, and extensively: how would he have been able to get that much information out of her to write it? I mean, she can't speak, barely attempts to communicate with him before dinner, and then we just see her slide a note over to him: did she just quickly write down her life story in a few lines?

Still, maybe he's just had that much practice writing letters like that, who knows. Anyway I finally saw this notorious exploitation flick the other eve (had to rent it through Greencine since Netflix--not surprisingly--apparently doesn't have it any more), and that was really the only thing left unexplained... in a movie that generally didn't pull any punches!

Yep, I cautiously anticipated "the eyeball scene" the whole time, and it is hard to watch, but quick, and not as gratuitous/gory as I was lead to believe. The hardcore scenes sure were a surprise (guess the jury's still out over who actually did them). And of course Lindberg's gorgeous, but needless to say it's hard to appreciate that on good conscience, considering how generally vile the subject matter is.

For that matter, I'd say check out "Sex & Fury"--another ingredient in the blender of influences that produced "Kill Bill"--where she's has a nice supporting role, but more importantly, is all in one piece. ;)
