The Rape Scene of this movie by the teacher hit my nerves so hard i just froze when i watched that i felt horror like never before that was sooo sad i dont ever wanna see that again and the rage i felt when that idiot did not do anything to help her made me wanna kick my tv what are your throughts and opinions on this scene and how did it impact you?
The scene shocked and disgusted me, and was painful to watch. In my artistic opinion, it was well-acted, well-directed.
I think someone else already mentioned this, but I was thinking that, as angry as I was with Bobby's cowardice, I have to admit that he was just a kid. While there are certainly some teens out there who are outspoken, majority of teenagers think they're word isn't worth much against an adult's... especially in those days. Yes he was a coward. In a perfect world all teenage boys and men would know rape when they see it and do something to stop it, but the truth is I know grown men who still choose to look the other way when they see a woman being mistreated by another man - "it's none of my business" they say. Whereas I (a woman) have had to be pulled back from intercepting violent domestic disputes. Of course I also know some men's men who wouldn't hesitate to protect a woman from harm and deliver a beating to a violent man. We live in such an imperfect world.

I know it is called the BES Bystander effect syndrome, worst thing that human being can have for an excuse of fear.
shareWell I saw this when I was around 10. I didn't see the whole movie untill later but I walked in on my parents watching this around the time of the scene so it had a great impact on me. I was shaken up. It wasn't my first experience with rape on film, surprisingly but it was the most graphic, meaning it wad the first time I knew what was happening. It wasn't untill I watched the Accused with Jodi Foster that I remembered how shook up I was after that. Ever since then I have had this thing about rape. I watch films and tv shows with rape in them and it still makes me freeze and makes my stomach turn. I do this because I always found it to be one of the most interesting topics being a woman. I can hardly image how it must feel to live with something like that. I have decided that when i earn some money one of the first charity's I'm giving to is one that helps raped and sexual abused victims.

Let me make this clear- I'm not a rape victim. But that scene felt very real to me as a girl in high school now. I felt her vulnerability. It's just something that could happen very easily in a classroom after school. I spend enough time working with teachers for extra help that if one of them was a sicko they definitely could trap me and assault me like he did to Josie. The thought just chills me. I really felt her terror as he blocked the door. That would freak me out so much.
And I agree with the poster who said that it was hard to hear that she was a slut and everything when she wasn't. She was just a victim of a horrible crime she didn't report.

How about a shave?
I know that Hank got up and tried to attack the teacher before being restrained, but I wish someone had taken a fist to Bobby's face for witnessing it and running off without helping her. His character was beyond an a-hole. I guess the fact that Bill made people see what a weak and heartless Jerk Bobby was was enough.
