did the blowjob conversation have to be so long and explicit?
my gosh I've never heard in a movie as long or as explicit or as realistic of a description of a girl giving a guy a blowjob.
shareI think there are a couple of reasons for that scene being so long. Meagan was recalling being molested at ten by a camp counselor. Did we even remember that by the end of the story?or were we like this over sexed kid needs to shut the hell up. Already meagan is a victim and nobody is listening. The audience mirrors meagans mother as she tells the blow job story of not believing not listening like she did when meagan tried to tell her about the step dad. Amy doesnt even understand the horror she is hearing because her friend has gotten so good at covering even when telling the truth. It sets meagan up as the knowing victim not just the slut and Amy as a girl who doesn't even have the most basic grasp on what sex should or should never be.
shareYeah, I really didn't think all that was necessary--it was disgusting---I was thinking that maybe the script was written by a guy, because a female scriptwriter wouldn't have written it like that. The way Megan describes it she makes it sound like a joke, but I'm sure she sure as hell didn't think it was funny when it was actually happening--I mean, that was her being molested. She was clearly victimized from a young age, that was the sad part about it. Because right afterward, when she mentioned during the fake interview to Amy how her stepdad molested her, and how her mother didn't believe her, she was clearly sad about it---it was obviously no laughing matter.
