Flashbacks


I have seen this movie now one time, and a few times some random scenes. But I don't understand those flashbacks. I can't remember every single flashback moment, but was there a moment that Joe Bucks his girlfriend was raped?

reply

They both were raped. They pulled his pants down and the scene flashes to his grandmother smiling a devilish grin as she gives him an enema as a boy. Joe is associating that moment with getting penetrated.

Joe too? I think I have to re-watch it sometime. Why would they even rape Joe? Gay attackers? And why were they being raped in the first place...some many questions lol. I think I didn't understand those flashbacks at all... for the most part.

I know this was discussed a couple of years back but the idea was that Crazy Annie was something of a town whore. For whatever reason, she attached herself to Joe Buck and the other guys who were scoring easy and regular sex from her were suddenly shut off. So, one night, the crew descended on the pair (while parking), gang rapes Annie - and, in a fit of sexual frenzy, rape Joe Buck while they're at it.

In Joe's world, as he later tells Ratso, that Crazy Annie had to be "taken away" because he was some kind of mega stud. In reality, she was already suffering from an undiagnosed mental distorter and was left in PTSD state by the attack. The haunting part was hearing her echo "He's the one, he's the only one..." while being removed. While she did say that before all this happened, it took a whole new meaning now.
