Yes, there are plenty more bizarre sex scenes, but I do get why you would say that about this one after reading your explanation.
“It didn't look like either of them wanted to do it.”
I felt this scene coming 5 mins. before it happened. She seems like she likes him for not being an ass hole and he likes her because she is a bit different and I think, makes him more at ease with himself and the world directly around him. So I think they both had pros and cons to having sex. They both had reasons to take part and reasons not to. He thought of a game to switch personalities so he could “just go for it” and when he starts to stall and do nothing she takes over and spurns him on, gives him a nudge and the ok signal. I think he wanted a release (emotional/sexual) and to feel safe enough to do so and she wanted to give him that safe place. The only part I truly felt was ‘bizarre’ or weird was when he starts crying and she does nothing to comfort him or make him feel like what just happened was good and that there is no reason to run away from everything and close himself up again. This goes into what you were saying:
“It was a very emotional scene, but for some reason part of me wanted to laugh a little at it. Maybe it was the brief cut to the dog that took away from the sadness of the scene. Or maybe it would have been better if Nick hadn't pulled away all embarrased, and if he'd continued to cry on Charlie's shoulder. I mean, he did tell Stuart's sister that he felt comfortable with Charlie, so that could have made more sense.”
I didn’t have the urge to laugh during that scene, but I get why you would say that about the dog clip. My interpretation of the dog was that he heard noises that sounded aggressive or a bit alarming and wanted to see what was going on and if the situation needed tending to. My dog goes crazy when me and my friend roughhouse and start making a bunch of noise and commotion, especially when it sounds aggressive, and their sex was aggressive. So to me, it was almost like the dog was sensing the intense emotions. The only issue the dog may have created for me was a brief departure of the intensity of the scene, but I was able to get over that for the scene after that was long enough to restore the high level (at least for me). If that scene wasn’t as long I wouldn’t have been as intrigued. Then Nick climaxes and cries, which I am feeling, then he pulls away, moves away and Charlie sits there slightly covering herself and just watching. If I was her I would have immediately held him, tight if he would let me. I would let him feel and feel with another human. I would have wanted him to stay and cry. Now if he wanted to leave, then I would have said at least something and not just let him feel embarrassed or alone as his stature seemed to imply. And if he still didn’t respond then I would let it be. So for me, the scene would have been better if he stayed crying on her shoulder, arms wrapped around each other reveling in the anguish, confusion and afterglow of a physical and emotional orgasm. And more so, because that’s what I would have done.
Also, I enjoy your signature.
