Does she rape him?


In the scene past the 1 hour and 5 minute mark, does that lady rape him?

Interestingly enough, and according to many reviews I've read, we are actually somehow meant to feel sorry for her and forgive her DESPITE that deed.

In essence, the female character in this is almost like Isabella Rosselinni's character in David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" (1986).

Remember how in that film she fellates Kyle MacLachlan's character at knife point? Well, in that film, she is a victim and we feel sorry for her.

If you watch this film, you will see some similarities between the two female characters.

Well, for one, I know that in Blue Velvet, NO member of the audience wanted either him or ANYONE to exact violent revenge on her, including killing her in return for such an act.

Here, its practically the same. Except I didn't quite get why HERE she would do this, what if she got caught and arrested?

Anyone want to speculate, and not with emotions?

And the guy in here doesn't even attempt to QUESTION her after this when she is in great vicinity of him, nor does he get mad or vengeful or anything, in fact, he forgets about it arguably the next minute and a day afterwards or so, he has other problems to take care of including the bad guys on the ship.

At least in the case of "The Rookie" (1990), Clint Eastwood's character kills that woman who does it to him against his will.

Then again, in Blue Velvet, Kyle MacLachlan doesn't confront Isabella Rosselinni after how she does it to him against his will in that flat at knife point.
