I'm thinking of watching two films about child censorship for a report at school. How brutal is this rape scene?. Can somebody give me a description of it. I don't want to watch a violent rape scene. Thanks!

There is no nudity in the scene, but there is a great deal of violence as Jena Malone fights off her attacker, played by Ron Eldard. Just about the time he gets her under control and is on top of her on the bed, her mother enters the room and fights him off.
That said, it is still a horrible sequence, much of which is due to the performance of Malone who puts up a major fight and really delivers the import of what is happening to her. Malone is astonishing throughout and rises to a heartbreaking level at this point.
The abuse Malone suffers escalates throughout the movie so that by the time the rape scene is staged, it has to be both forceful and realistic in order to top everything that has come before.
I don't know what grade you are in, or what instructions have been given to you by your teacher, so you might want to check with her and see if she is familiar with the movie. She will be able to guide you much better than someone on these boards who doesn't know your situation.
Thank you, this will help a lot!

To see such a pretty girl lay there with blood on her face and being abused, it's horrible!
It was horrible, but the messed thing about it is that mother later go back to the husband. I guess you can call her the original desperate housewife.
shareA mother that would go back to her husband after witnessing him raping her is as bad, or maybe worse, than he is. Her caressing his head after witnessing him raping her was the most brutal part of the movie to me. She is worse than him.

well said
It is only a movie.
But in real life..
last year in Germany, a mother married the man who killed her little daughter!

Uhmmm...it is not "just a movie". It was based on the novel of the same name. And it was a TRUE story, semi-based on Dorothy Allisons own personal life and it was her REAL father who raped and abused her growing up, not a step father. Her book is amazing and this film nearly did not get made. As painful (as a victim of abuse myself) it is to watch it, I think it should be seen by everyone. Even teens and pre-teens should see it with their parents or in school. Bone (aka Allison) grew up in a time that child molesting (as in women being raped) just was not discussed and almost never reported. I think young teens and adults should see this movie and it will be able to get more young people to speak out what is going on behind their own closed doors and get help.
shareI don't think the scene is very brutal.
Most people think it is very brutal, just because it is a young child.
But does that make it more brutal? No, I don't think so.
If you replace the child with a grown up, don't everybody would so that it was not a brutal scene at all, so why it should be because it is a child?
The right word is maybe shocking, but not brutal.

This particular scene as well as the earlier scene when Glen is molesting Bone in the car while her mother is in the hospital are both BRUTAL AND SICK!
shareThose two scenes were very hard to watch. I had clenched fists the whole time. Even without the nudity, the scenes were very brutal. When he beat her, I wanted him dead, and when he raped her I wanted him castrated and very very much alive, so that he would have to live with the reminder.

But it was the mother stroking the scum's hair which had the biggest impact I think, even more than the rape scene itself which at least had some twisted, sick reason behind it, that to me made absolutely no sense.
I mean Christ, if I was the mother and I saw this mutt raping my child I would have took the remains of the broken bottle and literally stabbed the guy to death and mutilated his corpse. She strokes his hair??
The original Showtime cut is pretty graphic. Even if it were an adult rape scene, it would be pretty graphic. The fact that it's with a child actress obviously makes it more shocking. The R-rated cut is less explicit, but still fairly graphic. The TV cut is toned down even more, as you could imagine.
shareUm, yeah, even if it was an adult I would still think it was brutal.

The rape scene is ugly and brutal.
Indeed, a pedo's dream.
He did not 'just get on her and the mother came in and hit him'.
He beat and beat her until her mouth was full of blood and brutally raped her.
I just saw the 'movie'- there were at the least 15- 20 hard 'strokes'.

So, you think that there is a non-violent form of RAPE?

VERY brutal. There may not be any nudity but you can see it happening.
