What's up with Rape Scenes?

.

Casualties of War
A rape scene occurs in Casualties of War. Before that it's even worse. Michael J. Fox attempts to comfort a Vietnamese girl who has been kidnapped and brutalized pre-rape. He treats an injury by taking off her clothing with a gentle touch and speaking in soft whispers to her. Save the whispers for the rape! Put yourself in her place. She's never even seen Family Ties. I would be saying "Me clean blood! No sexy sexy here!" -- instead he's practically nibbling on her ear. It turned my stomach.

The actual rape rape -- not so harrowing. Ennio Morricone music in the background. Casualties of War is when DePalma started to really suck ass. (He is going to screw up the Untouchables prequel.)

Slave Rape in the Old Days
Whoa! I am not talking about any white on black rape. In fact, in the old days I'm talking about, it was pasty germanics and such who were slaves. HBO's Rome made it look saucy saucy. Alexander is for the true aficionado. Colin Farrell Rosario Dawson. I don't want to say rapes, as it is a conjugal/concubine thing. Let's say instead that she does not appear to want to have sex, but is physically forced to do so.

If they get into it halfway through, all the better. I guess "rape" in the past was pretty much just having sex with a wildcat.

Remember the rape scene?

Blade Runner?

He learns she's not human and figures it's license to throw down, yes or no yes. I guess "rape" in the future will be pretty much just having sex with a replicant.

Pretty Woman?

George Costanza as a rapist? (Julia Roberts as a street hooker?)

Matrix?

Getting held down and raped in the belly button. Better or worse than the butt?

Girl on Boy
Clint Eastwood was raped in the Rookie by Sonia Braga. Josh Hartnett was raped in 40 Days and 40 Nights. I have not seen either film, but a lot of people did, and no one got their pantyhose in a bunch. I'm sure some guys even got their spank on about it.

Negative One-Thousand Cool Points
Loser, with Jason Biggs as the titular tit, had a sub-plot involving his wacky roomates. It seems that they have been drugging and raping girls! It is treated like comedy -- like they are getting girls to slip on banana peels to peek up their skirts. I think at the end of Loser, Biggs gives the guys their own medicine, and they end up sleeping with fat girls! Oh no! Ha! Just desserts for the crime of drugging and raping women (cue deflating muted trumpet).
