So, I went to see The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo over the weekend, needless to say, I walked out before the end of the 2nd rape scene. It's the 2nd movie I've had to walk out of due to the sexually abusive content. I just can't sit there and say "Oh its just a movie" ...cause its not just a movie. It happens. Making it acceptable to watch on t.v. means to some people that it must be okay to do. Its rated MA 15. Seriously... so its okay for a 15 year old boy to come in here, then go out and rape a young girl by tying her up with electrical cords, handcuffs, rape her and then say "But its just like in the movie!" "She wanted it!" To make it so there is absolutely no censorship is disgusting. Most adults can elude to the fact that the girl was being taken advantage of, but to show viewers the entire rape without turning the camera for one minute. I'm appalled that even the camera man could stand there and hold the camera even if it was fiction. When did -rape- become acceptable? I knew murder had a long time ago... but I was pretty sure rape was still on the too horrific to talk about, let alone make a movie about it, in which at the point we left, didnt seem to even have shit all to do with the rest of the movie. I have read a lot of reviews by people who saw the whole thing and apparently there is some sweet revenge in the end, but I hadn't gotten a chance to find out after being sickened to see what I had to endure to get to the end. As it is, I have the book and may read the book to get a better understanding and perhaps download the rest of the movie when it comes out, skipping thru the shithouse scenes. Oh, by the way, its in full subs too. >.< I hope the American remake caters to a more queasy audience with respect for English.
