Damage
The book and film of Damage is eternally linked to the book and films of Lolita. Damage and Lolita are fantastically brilliant.
Damage and Lolita are about obsession, control, and raw, unrestrained, unleashed sex.
Damage and Lolita are about crossing the line, knowing you can never turn back.
Damage and Lolita are about losing control.
Stephen (Damage) and Humbert (Lolita) are men who were never the men they were supposed to be until they meet the women who show them their true colors; they show them how to be men
Damage and Lolita are about men with major responsibilites (father, husband, politician, professor, writer) who are more interested in their own psychologically oppressed sexual desires than in their desire to stay "socially acceptable". Sexual, passionate bliss offers more peace of mind than being "socially acceptable".
Damage and Lolita give the Libido power...
Damage and Lolita tell us, that once we cross that line, we become unworthy, damaged, and deserve the punishment we get in the end.
We burn in hell on earth (paraphrased from the novel of Lolita)
We act like we hate the men for crossing those lines, but truthfully, we understand, we sympathize, and we pray those men win in the end...
