WHEN DID RAPE IN MOVIES BECOME ENTERTAINMENT?
The movie "Hounddog" is infamous for the child rape scene. I have not seen this movie. I have no desire to do either. I will not condemn the movie that is being a jerk. I just need to point out a few things. Movies are made to be entertaining. When did rape, a child rape become a form of storytelling? It has been done before but why. Yes I agree that we need to shine a light on the topic. I know there is no cure for these creeps! However I refuse to spend my hard earn money to watch a movie with these images. Why would anybody want to see "Hounddog" is beyond me but I am no for censorship.
I do not know when rape became such a Hollywood staple. If you think about is Quentin Tarentino has made a career out of rape. "Kill Bill" our heroine was about to be raped. In dialog we here she has been repeatedly raped while she lied in a coma. In "Pulp Fiction" there is the male rape seen. Yes the bad guys die for their deeds but why wasn't there the outrage when these movies were released?
Male rape was the selling point in the HBO TV show OZ. I saw the show 1 time that was enough. Deliverance is famous for the male on male rape scene. All prison movies have to have rape scene now. The TV movie "Born Innocent" had to be re-edited when it was repeated.
There have been movies if you think about it on the subject of statutory rape. "Lolita" the remake was one. Where was the outrage? Was the movie art or exploitation?
In the past few years statutory rape has been a staple of monologue jokes from Jay Leno.
To him when the victim is an underage male its a joke! Jay should ask parents of the victim if its a joke, I am sure they would disagree!
We all need to look within ourselves now and wonder why there is no outrage when any entertainment TV show does a rape storyline. The CBS TV SHOWS "CSI", & "COLD CASE" rape and death of children seems to be a common story element!
The next time you see a movie or TV show with a rape storyline ask yourself "Why does this not bother me"....
