I have seen plenty of films depicting the brutality of rape and such. One of the tournaments in here features Jodie Foster who acted in "The Accused" which was such a powerful film centered on the subject.
I cant say for others and their thoughts but every time a rape is enacted on screen, I feel revolted. Give me a hack and slash film involving women (like the Friday the 13th films) and I m more at home, but rapes? Nope they arent my cup of tea.
Well, there are viewers who are touched by such films, others who actually talk that the rape scene was the only reason they watched them, its actually difficult to make a line.
In my opinion, Paedophilia, Necrophilia, incest, rapes etc. all are director-dependent, and how he wants to depict them in the movies.
The Hindi films we have over here in India dont show it all brutal, rather its edited off when the guys circle or grab the woman and then it swings to a nearby wall or door with the woman's shrieks resounding, before the scene is cut to another scene.
The question to be asked is, are you as a viewer touched or sympathetic or pitiful about it? Or do you feel some guilty pleasure while watching such a scene in a film?
The director answers this in his own mind and then shapes the scenes accordingly. And then comes the matter of one's choices, whether you want to see it or not. It again is dependent on the answer to the question above.
