The film has disturbed me more than I could ever have imagined. I deeply encourage anyone thinking about watching this film no too, one of the biggest regrets I have. It was more grotesque, shocking, sick and horrible than any other film out there, and I cannot believe it got through censorship. Whilst the acting and thoughts behind it are brilliant, this by no means should have been a film - Rape is something more horrendous than anything in this world, and that scene will never leave my mind.
shut up or I'll rape you, seriously though, rape is not a most horrible thing in all of reality. We live in a world where there are constant genocides, mass murders, torture, life imprisonment of political prisoners(who often get raped), mutilation. Where 2 billion people live in cultures where women risk having acid thrown on their face for violating over any number of social, cultural and or religious rules. I'd rather be raped in the ass brutally one time than be killed instantly or to spend the rest of my life in prison being tortured and denied any human contact. you femtards seriously need to grow the *beep* up, the world does not revolve around your feelings. Do you really think Rape(in any quantity) is worse than having acid thrown on your face because your husband wanted a new wife? Do you really think so? if so you are delusional. most feminists stupid enough to make a generalization as stupid as "rape is the worse thing ever" tend to be well off, white/western women who have been so pampered they feel entitled to the point of being a victim of their entitlement which they now view as an act of patriarchal condescension, they also are so *beep* delusional and dogmatic that they'll pretend Western/white civilization is the worst place in the world for womens rights and completely ignore the acts carried out in other cultures such as female genital mutilation, the aforementioned acid mutilations, denial of right to education etc. funny thing is when they burn girls schools you liberal cat ladies and your ironically puritan souls go and rebuild these schools and post pictures about it all over your facebook to signal to everyone who tolerant, self sacrificing and good you are(gaining social morality points) Then you immediately proceed to view every single minor difference between men and women as patriarchal oppression and denounce every aspect and tradition of western civilization as racist, patriarchal and antiquated. These femtards have even gone so far as defending the islamic cultural imposition of dress codes for women(burkas) as liberating and good, meanwhile 50 years ago these same feminists were burning their bras and wearing slutty clothing as a way of showing how liberated they are from the white male while defending the arab male's violation of women's rights by saying "it's a choice and they choose to wear these clothes, no ones making them, who are we to judge? that would be racist to judge any aspect of another culture or people. " meanwhile They wouldn't dare go to an islamic theocracy to test this theory that It's a choice, they'd quickly find themselves without a head. Meanwhile these same idiots who would have their heads cut off in many islamic countries demand that muslims taking over europe and the americas should be allowed to practice their religion and culture and to wear whatever they want yet they wouldn't dare denounce arabs or anyone else for murdering women for showing part of the skin of their foot or throwing acid on their face for any random accusation, they don't even *beep* come out against rape in these countries which ACTUALLY ARE rape cultures where if YOU get raped YOU get punished/arrested. Meanwhile feminist itself has lowered the white birth rate to nil and we're dying out, 500,000,000 every 50 years is what we lose and you defend the mass immigration of muslims and non-whites into white countries for the sake of diversity and "smashing the white patriarchy". This is the largest genocide(see un resolution 260) in the history of the human species and feminists are at front line of this genocide are just concerned about how we're not equal in every single way and in every single occupation, any difference is an injustice, we must all be equal, we must all be borg, we are one, we are one. we are one differences are evil and the product of the evil class which must be destroyed for the equality of prosperity of all, gender doesn't exist, race doesn't exist, culture doesn't matter, nothing matters but good feelings and satisfaction of desires whether that be getting ass *beep* by dozens of men to prove how liberated you are or whether it be *beep* children, there is no line, morality is subjective, right? if you disagree that *beep* children is wrong you are a *beep* racist and bigot because you think you are better/more moral than the Sambia semen warrior tribe of africa. Equality does not exist, it cannot exist, it never has and never will it's an absolute myth which when taken to it's extreme results in Khemer Rouge style mass executions of anyone who appears to be different in anyway, "you have glasses, you must be smarter than other people therefore you are not equal and must die and even if you weren't smarter your eyesight is different so you have to do anyway" Tell me, why is it that there are no women in the NFL? why aren't there women in the NBA? is it because we are not physically or mentally equal? Why not introduce women from the WMBA to the NBA, we're equal aren't we? why not demand that 50% of the military is female? why not demand that there are 50% more men in nursing? because there is a natural order and you idiots are picking a fight with nature, guess what happens when you fight against the systems which sustain you, when you fight nature?
And why should the military be "50% female"? Why not 100% female soldiers across the globe?
Humans as a species (and modern capitalism) "picks fights with nature" all the time. Or do caves have internet connections now? Or maybe it just bothers you when you're not the one directly controlling or setting the terms of the "fight"?
But in fact, you are the one picking a fight with nature...because it's the ability to adapt to changing conditions which will ensure your survival. Apparently, this is very difficult for you.
Rape is something more horrendous than anything in this world
Irony? Irony. Has to be. The statement is too preposterous to emanate from even the least educated head. Almost as provocative [and amusing] is the 'no censorship of art' rebuke parroted by another unthinking respondent. Good taste and our own taste are much the same thing in societies driven by selfishness and greed, but just as there is history for the common good so too are nations - peoples, bloodlines - uplifted and improved by artistic celebration of the common weal. Censorship is an indispensable, intrinsically desirable adjunct to popular art for this reason. Its boundaries do more than remind the individual of an obligation to others [part of an adult emotional range scorned by adolescent nonentities chafing at their restraints and convinced of a need to appear rebellious to have anything of merit to offer]. Very importantly they acknowledge that 'freedom of expression' and the 'right' to subvert public taste are not the same thing at all.

But wasn't it THE point of the movie, to show how bad the act is and raise awareness, for there are actually a lot of people out there that either doubt ir or unintentionally promote it?
The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
Can I also ask EVERYONE in here this ONE question.
OK, so according to the OP, and we won't even touch THIS movie or even THAT scene including HOW it is portrayed etc and other aspects of the film, but we will stop and focus on one thing.
So OK, the OP argued that rape is like "THE worst and most horrible matter in the world" and many over here have corrected the OP by saying that, well, it is terrible and emotional no doubt, but no way THE worst ever, and that the depiction of it in cinema should NOT be seen like this, besides it being unhelpful, but also that there are worse matters etc. But can I also ask the following.
Is there even any MATTER out there that, besides being horrible and whatnot, that really DOES push the line and has literally, as the OP implies with this one (though its a personal opinion no doubt!), NO place WHATSOEVER in cinema and that showing it or dealing with it in any way is not even telling a disturbing tale or dealing with a troubling subject matter in order to stop it etc, but nothing short of being insulting, off-putting and has no value whatsoever, even if its fictional and in fiction?
Its really more a rhetorical question. But anyways, thanks.
P.S. Though I ultimately think, many people are quite authoritarian with their opinions. But rather than simply saying "its not for me" and that "they don't see any other value in it" including "shock value" type of perspective, they state don't watch, get angry etc, but are they RIGHT? Some people may not like action movies either with plenty of violence and killings but they are seen legitimate and whatnot, but then again... Deep thought provoking stuff etc.
P.P.S. And 2 princess reject, given your angry fixation on the subject. I guess that films like A Clockwork Orange, Straw Dogs, The Virgin Spring, that at least DEAL with it, even if not show it as explicitly and horrifyingly ugly as in this movie but still disturbingly, cinema-aesthetic wise, are also then not your cup of tea and
you wouldn't appreciate them, even if a lot of them are considered masterpieces even by people who aren't film buffs and who don't have strong stomachs? Hmm?
Also, regardless of how we feel about "THE subject" as well as where we place it scale-wise on the list of awful things in life, AND ALSO - regardless of how we feel about this movie overall for a variety of reasons...
Just stating alone not to watch the movie because a particular subject is horrible or in the eyes of some the worst kind of matter in the world and that for them handling it is too much and that as a result the film itself is totally worthless, is basically just personal knee-jerk reaction and is overall a weak type of argument.
