It would be lunacy to say fuck Brad Pitt over something a character says.

Rape scene in Brad Pitt's Fury [View all] packman Nov 2014 OP

Yuck. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #1

"Bad enough that they had to throw rape in" Dawgs Nov 2014 #12

It's interesting that that's the 'entire fucking point', when every single trailer Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #16

Do the adverts portray it as something other than a war movie? Dawgs Nov 2014 #21

All of the ones I saw portrayed it as Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #24

I don't know what to tell you. I actually saw the movie and the "rape scene" is not what you think. Dawgs Nov 2014 #27

Nod, I won't be seeing it anyway, Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2014 #29

Fair enough. Look at the responses (25 & 30) to see what actually happened in that scene. n/t Dawgs Nov 2014 #33

"Wasn't creepy or brutal"? Brigid Nov 2014 #90

So you didn't see the movie and you're telling me really? Dawgs Nov 2014 #92

Violence against women isn't entertainment. Brigid Nov 2014 #93

I agree. And, that's also why you shouldn't comment without seeing the movie. Dawgs Nov 2014 #96

Seen the movie twiceand think it quite a stretch to consider that a rape scene. jeepers Nov 2014 #2

did he hand a girl to a man to be fucked? did she have a choice? interesting. seabeyond Nov 2014 #3

I haven't seen it either - and kind of wish I had. el_bryanto Nov 2014 #4

There is one really important line in that scene jeepers Nov 2014 #5

you did not answer my question. i do not like military, killing movies, so no, i will not watch. nt seabeyond Nov 2014 #31

I can understand why you will not see it DonCoquixote Nov 2014 #81

Cool. TransitJohn Nov 2014 #94

pontificating, asking questions cause i have not seen? what a stupid ass post. i admit i have not seabeyond Nov 2014 #95

Sure as hell sounds like a rape scene to me. Orrex Nov 2014 #6

I haven't seen the movie but is the review at the link correct in quoting cali Nov 2014 #7

Don't judge me or the scene until you have seen it. jeepers Nov 2014 #18

Agree. n/t Dawgs Nov 2014 #19

Is the quote accurate or not? What is describe is rape. period. cali Nov 2014 #39

The description is clearly rape gollygee Nov 2014 #57

I have to honestly say that is the first time I have ever heard rape described as "sweet." n/t Jamastiene Nov 2014 #83

Did you see the movie? n/t Dawgs Nov 2014 #84

Any criticism of any art that starts with 'I have not seen it' is a waste of space. Bluenorthwest Nov 2014 #28

I am not criticizing it. I am simply saying that what is described is undoubtedly an act of rape cali Nov 2014 #40

"I'm not CRITIQUING it." Dreamer Tatum Nov 2014 #44

Here's the thing. The film is the description, the 'review' is a description of the film. Bluenorthwest Nov 2014 #47

yep, that's rape. RedstDem Nov 2014 #56

Sounds like a pretty big power differential to me. Brickbat Nov 2014 #8

At the extreme least, it's a power imbalance issue Blue_Adept Nov 2014 #11

Agree, the whole point of the movie was to show how war can make a person do unthinkable things. Dawgs Nov 2014 #13

Indeed Blue_Adept Nov 2014 #23

It wasn't played for sexy-time appeal to the largely male audience that went to it. seabeyond Nov 2014 #37

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I think you are correct - hedgehog Nov 2014 #46

I think your opinion is well thought out but I disagree... stevenleser Nov 2014 #64

This message was self-deleted by its author Blue_Adept Nov 2014 #65

I saw it. It was rape, and of both folks who had sex and I thought so as I saw it. stevenleser Nov 2014 #59

I felt like she really had no choice. Afraid of them. nt Logical Nov 2014 #88

It was one of those rape scenes where LittleBlue Nov 2014 #9

Sort of like "Game of thrones" then, but with a modern setting. nt bemildred Nov 2014 #10

Question for those who have seen the film? Bragi Nov 2014 #14

Early. It's when they LittleBlue Nov 2014 #17

Does the woman seem coerced? That's my issue el_bryanto Nov 2014 #20

She is unquestionably coerced LittleBlue Nov 2014 #25

Actually, you got one part of it wrong and you left out another important part. Dawgs Nov 2014 #30

He was an 18 year old naive virgin in sex and killing **spoler alert** Sheepshank Nov 2014 #62

Add **spoiler** to your post. Dawgs Nov 2014 #63

That does imply coercion provide it's clear that she doesn't want to have sex with either of them el_bryanto Nov 2014 #41

I saw it. Here is the key, neither character expressed a desire to have sex before Pitt's character stevenleser Nov 2014 #61

Thanks /nt Bragi Nov 2014 #67

You should avoid the film, and indeed most films. nt Dreamer Tatum Nov 2014 #52

Why? Bragi Nov 2014 #66

Avoid most films? Why? Sheldon Cooper Nov 2014 #76

What a shitty thing to say. n/t Jamastiene Nov 2014 #82

You never seen Jennifer Aniston in Derailed? B Calm Nov 2014 #15

She went to the hotel room with the guy she was going to have an affair B Calm Nov 2014 #36

derp. that's right. I was thinking Jen seduced him and then blackmailed him. been a while. thanks. Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2014 #42

It was truly on the edge of your seat thriller. I read the book, B Calm Nov 2014 #54

I only saw the movie but, I think it is some of Jen's best work. I wish she would take on more of Tuesday Afternoon Nov 2014 #55

"So fuck Brad Pitt and his attempt to portray it as such" EX500rider Nov 2014 #73

The rational mind asks if the scene added depth to either character or plot (it did not). LanternWaste Nov 2014 #58

I thought it added depth to character and plot. Dreamer Tatum Nov 2014 #60

From what I've read in these threads, and the reviews at the linked sites, I have a few questions. Glassunion Nov 2014 #69

I'm hard pressed to say evil. Blue_Adept Nov 2014 #70

So more of a tainted soul? Glassunion Nov 2014 #71

His character seemed to be made dark by the war. Dreamer Tatum Nov 2014 #72

What I'm trying to figure out (without spoiling) is if the scene fit and was apropriate to the film. Glassunion Nov 2014 #74

Scene fit and was very appropriate for the film. n/t Dawgs Nov 2014 #97

He was a very flawed character Marrah_G Nov 2014 #75

Oh yay, the good kind of rape! whatchamacallit Nov 2014 #79

Oh, goody, romanticized rape, just what we needed in the movies. Warpy Nov 2014 #80

So, you read the article but hadn't seen the movie? n/t Dawgs Nov 2014 #85

It is ~far~ from romanticized. Blue_Adept Nov 2014 #86
