How bad is the rape scene

How do you feel about a man being burned alive?

"Passion is just insanity in a cashmere sweater!"

Rape happens. Deal with it. Watching it in a movie, or making a movie containing a rape scene, does not condone the detestable act.

Films sometimes depict rape because they have this thing called a camera that records moving pictures of things that really happen, either live, in the case of a documentary, or of a reenactment, as is the case with fiction.

To censor anything but the most reprehensible and disgusting images would impinge upon a filmmaker's freedom of speech. That is why rape scenes (except in pornographic films, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms) are "aloud".


P.S. It sounds like perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to watch red-band trailers, as you are not an "appropriate audience".

P.S.S. If the rape of one person makes you sick but you enjoy movies about scores, hundreds, or thousands of innocent people of all ages dying in horrific manners then maybe you need to do a little soul-searching.

The rape scene depicts reality down there, it really happens during tragedy, like Hurricane Katrina and the super-dome rapes.

There are stronger rape scenes on Animal Planet. Of course, if you think it's too controversial then by all means complain to whomever you think will listen.

Personally, I find the implication of your comment to be nothing more then an attempt to stifle freedom of expression because you dislike that particular content. I will therefore complain to the IMDb moderators to request you are banned from posting again. Of course, that won't happen, but the point is that people are allowed to express themselves in a way they desire so long as they do not break the law, regardless of what you or anybody else likes or dislikes.

That's a valuable lesson that most people are taught in school. I'd advise learning it before leaving.

Not even close to the brutal " I Spit on your Grave " scene. Frankly, I don't like that in movies because it depicts real life and rapists should be executed.
