Rape scene in Brad Pitt's Fury

[stevenleser]

64. I think your opinion is well thought out but I disagree...

As you can see from some of the comments here, there are two problems with the scene

#1 - The movie seemed to intentionally seek to make a coercive sex scene seem less bad and in fact confuse people about the idea of coercive sex in general. This is a bad idea considering the problems that almost all countries in the world have with rape.

#2 - It has the potential to confuse people into thinking that coercive sex can turn out where both people are happy with what took place. In fact that's what happened. Both young adults seem pretty happy with how it turned out. That is such a bad message to give to folks who may have issues understanding how wrong and harmful rape is.

Its a really bad scene. It's not the Accused or Irreversible, but in some ways that makes it worse. We know from watching the Accused and Irreversible that what happened there is wrong. Here is glorifies it.

That was my 2 cents and it was what I was thinking during watching the scene.
