Salvador. I remember when reports about the nuns first came across the news.
I did download and watch this movie. It’s so full of moral ambiguities I wouldn’t know how to summarize it, but I disagree with Slithy Tove. Lawyer Kirk makes clear he’s just doing his job. He’s not trying to acquit the rapists, just get them 20 years of hard labor rather than death penalty. None of the rapists are depicted sympathetically except the one who is apparently impotent.
I cam ein to mention Speak. It’s really good. The book is also great.
Another one off YouTube A Woman in Berlin, about the Soviet soldiers.
The whole rape/revenge genre has its merits and an ancient tradition in literature, but at this movie’s core is why rape is so terrible: “I’m going to do this to you and there’s nothing you can do about it.” As rape survivors have told me, the actuall assault itself is blotted from the mind, but the dread and the helplessness is what is most traumatic.
What a depressing movie…
One of the first films to show full frontal male nudity.
The Prince of Tides.
I saw it when it was first-run. That movie depressed the hell out of me for days afterward.
I have two to add:
The Secret In Their Eyes has a truly horrific rape scene.
and
Cracker: toward the end of the run of this excellent mid-90’s British miniseries with Robbie Coltrane, the female lead character was raped; the consequences were played out over three or four episodes, with a stunning denouement.
Billy Jack
Uh, OK.
Look at that. Marley banned the whole board again. 
That was quick.
The posts are gone.
Just to explain, a new poster(SDMB), came in firing off some rather extreme insults and Marley banned him.
I remember doing a double take when they mentioned semen. I did not know it was even legal for them to mention words like that in movies of that era. I guess that Jimmy Stewart offset it.
Banning the SDMB is kind of my thing.
So was he pro-rape filmfest or con-rape filmfest?
I missed the deleted posts, but I’m glad he revived the thread: I have an awful, awful entry found on Youtube: The Beat Generation from 1959. (I know - an exploitation picture about beatniks that opens with Louis Armstrong playing Dixieland probably didn’t do its homework) But Ray Danton’s nihilistic diatribes are worth fast-forwarding to savor.
ETA: and hey, it’s now almost February!
