Pretty Explicit Rape Scene


Was fairly explicit. Boy that girl had the best arse !

What is it with Angus doing abusive scenes lately!! First in 45 now in this?? I love him to death, but when there's *beep* like that it makes it so damn hard for me to watch it

Why must close-minded people always open their mouths?

The rape scene isn't very graphic.

The guy has the girl in the stairway
,she's facing the stairs,he gets her pants
down,her butt is exposed and that's about
it.
it's a little bit like the scene
in A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE but way,way shorter.

Explicit rape scene? wtf are you talking about? even the regular consensual sex was more explicit...

i hated how she didn't fight back - at all.. i absolutely loathe this in all movies that show scenes where the woman is defenseless.. ever heard of kicking or punching their balls?! a little eye-gauging anyone? sure she sustained some LIGHT bruising afterward, she just basically remained like putty for the entire duration of the abuse and rape, freaking annoying.

Wow, I love it when people say that. Have you ever met a rape victim? Have you ever been raped? Let's look at this from her POV for a moment: This lunatic forces his way into her home and catches her off guard. He then proceeds to beat the living *beep* out of her, probably knocking her semi-unconscious in the process (or at the very least dazing her suitably into submission). He also looks and sounds exactly like her husband further increasing her trauma. If you know much about rape victims and the trauma associated, you know that being molested/raped by a family member or someone you know can be far worst for the victim than being assaulted by a stranger. At this point he's also clearly insane, making him completely unpredictable and certainly putting her into a position where she fears for her life. Do you know why many one-on-one robberies are successful? Because the victim fears for their life! They willingly submit to the perpetrator because they fear that not doing so will only bring further violence and probably death.

Honestly, people that go into the whole bravado, "Oh, I so would have kicked his ass if I had been in that situation", people like you, don't have a box to stand on. You cannot speak for her or anyone else who is unfortunate enough to find themselves in a situation like that because you have never experienced it first hand. Life is not a movie, you cannot realistically believe that you would come out of something like that guns blazing and thus everyone else should too.

That was an absolutely SICK thing to say, bobbarker. Even if you were joking, it was SICK. Wow

Almost anyone who who has done contact karate or boxing recalls that first time that he knows the other guy is really going to hit him back -- it's like someone has switched off his brain. Everything he has learned just disappears. And almost anyone who has had no fighting experience and gets attacked on the street has the same experience.

I can only imagine what it is like for a woman who is suddenly aware that she's been grabbed by some man who threatens her harm.

BTW: this kicking in the balls thing is greatly overrated: first, it's not that easy unless he just stands there; second, to someone who has much fighting experience it isn't really that effective. I was fighting in a karate tournament when a guy kicked me there, quite solidly. It really hurt. I beat the crap out of him.
