Mother's kiss seems to be incest


At one point, how she looked at him after the kiss, so incest

If we stay the course, we are dead! WE ARE ALL DEAD!

Yeah, it's pretty heavily implied. I felt like they set the scene up purposefully to indicate that she had replaced her husband with her son.

it's obviously incest when she goes down to suck his dick don't you think?

reply

Yup, and if you watch the uncut version of this movie, they even show her making a sex tape with him.

I remember being weirded out by that scene.

I read about the novel, she actually f--ks him

Illuminatutes Diablo. *snicker* You people have no idea of how the real world works. Incest happens regularly in "their" world. One would only have to look at the House of Windsor to start the investigation...

reply

Yes, you are correct.

I have been bent and broken, but, I hope, into a better shape, Grimm

I picked up on that too and I'm sorry that I did,---ugh!

reply

Apparently in the book, she does have sex with her son while he's brainwashed.

reply


And then he doesn't remember when he is no longer under hypnosis?

But then even when hypnotized, he still knows that she is his mother. Interesting how that's not an obstacle. [shrug]

Meryl Streep looked like a fine MILF here, so quite understandable.
