Was Oscar raped at the party?


Oscar seems like he was confronted in the bathroom at the party by that other guy and seemed like he was forced into sex with him. Oscar was on ecstasy or acid or whatever and seemed like he had very little control over what was happening but he also seemed like he wanted it at the same time (again because of the drugs).

Yes. He was being sexually assaulted until he started vomiting. He was drugged up and not able to really consent. It didn't seem to me that he was wanting to have sex, just that he was messed up. He told the dude earlier (when still semi-sober) that he was with someone else because it was clear he was hitting on him. Over the evening the dude kept getting more aggressive the more out of it Oscar got.

reply

Yep he was. He told the guy on the dance floor no and was clearly uncomfortable with the situation so I feel he was. He really had no control over what was happening

Was he really raped, did Oscar really vomit screws? For that matter, do hamsters really talk, and with upper crust British accents? Lots of symbolism in this film, much of it about being violated: being raped while drugged at a party (but the dude was thoughtful enough to snap on a condom, right?); and more horribly, raped by rebar, that Oscar internalized until the day he heroically dug his fingers into his belly to pull the rod clear out through his other side, and take that damn bloody rod and brain his bullying, rebar-rigid Dad, when he redirected his anger to harmlessly beat a wooden arbor, but then, twist that solid iron rod like a pretzel to lock his father in the house.
