Titles that start with “A”

Abducted / Let’s Play Dead (1973) *This is a trash movie which has multiple disturbing scenes and issues. *The relationship between the mother and her sons is incestuous. *One brother kidnaps girls for his younger, mentally handicapped brother to “play” with. The brothers are middle aged or older. *The women are imprisoned in the basement. *The younger brother sexually assaults a young woman by playing “doctor” with her.

Absolute Power (1997) *A couple engages in some consensual rough sex. But then the sex becomes too rough and turns into a brutal and violent rape. This scene is very long and includes slapping, hitting, strangling and kicking in the crotch. *Early in the movie, there is a sex scene which starts out to be consensual. Then there is slapping and violence thrown in, which still seems as if there is just rough sex taking place. But then the man seems as if he really wants it to be rape, and tries to make the sex against her will. The way the boundaries are blurred may be triggering to some. *The woman stabs him in self defense him but is killed by the man’s bodyguards who burst in on the scene (the man is the president). *This means that the bodyguards were outside the room the whole time, listening to her screams, but do nothing until the man is the one being hurt. *The rape is not given enough attention during the film. The rest of the movie deals with what an evil man the president is, but focuses on the betrayal of his closest friend as proof of this, and not the rape.

The Accused (1988) *This is one of the first movies that deals with the after effects of rape. *A woman is gang raped by three men in a bar, with a group of men watching and cheering on the rapists as if it were a spectator sport. *The rape is shown in graphic detail. *She prosecutes her attackers. The rest of the movie is about her experiences with the justice system, and how rape victims were treated unfairly. It is as if she is the one on trial, not her attackers. Her sexual history is brought up and painfully examined. It is expressed that she was behaving promiscuously the night of the attack and therefore “asked for it”. The charge of rape is reduced to reckless endangerment which the survivor is infuriated about, but feels must be done in order to save her dignity in court (by stopping her character assassination). * After the trial, she is harassed and physically attacked / endangered by one of the spectators to the rape. She decides to put the spectators on trial for encouraging her rape, which she is discouraged from doing. *The film carries an important message about the injustices in the justice system and how survivors of rape are persecuted in the court room.

The boy touches him for a second, then pulls out the plug, and then uncle’s testicles are caught. This moment is presented as a victory for the boy against his would-be abuser. No graphic nudity is seen as the tub is filled with bubbles.

Against Their Will: Women in Prison (TV) (1994) *This movie may be particularly difficult for people to watch as it is based on true events. *This takes a look into the world of maximum security female prison inmates.

Alien Beasts (1991) *A man attempts to rape a female CIA agent. *Especially disturbing as immediately before the attempted rape, there is a long, drawn out scene in which the woman is topless while choosing the weapons she needs to complete her job.

Although he does stop, some may find this scene triggering. *A character named Samantha flirts with a man. The situation goes to far and he attempts to force himself on her. Samantha then makes him stop and leaves. She is not scared as a result of this scene, only angry.

The murder does not actually take place.

The Aristocrats (2005) (Documentary) (Not Rated)
*This movie is perhaps one of the most offensive movies I have reviewed – right up there with Monster, which I had many nightmares after reviewing. Although no acts are seen- jokes of a very graphic and detailed nature make up the entirety of this film. Perhaps what is most disturbing to me is that rape, incest, and pedophilia are all treated as merely opportunities for humour. Much of the jokes are made at the expense of rape victims and little children who are sexually exploited. Nothing makes me more furious and hurt than a culture that finds these obscene and horrific crimes as something to laugh about and merely comic fodder. Sometimes I think that we are a very, very sick culture indeed.

This movie was so disturbing to me that I can be assured that many of you will be especially offended by it as well. So, I have taken the details off the main page so as to protect those of you who are sensitive from being unnecessarily disturbed. If you would still like to read the details, please click here.

Artemisia (1998) *This movie has received a lot of attention from critics, including feminists and Gloria Steinem who was very vocal in the deceptive and distorted way the historical story of Artemisia was told. *The movie tells the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, the beautiful female Renaissance painter who is the most well know female artist of the Renaissance and Baroque era. In the movie, she falls in love with her art teacher, Tassi. He is accused of raping Artemisia, and she defends him, saying the sex was consensual. The ‘rape’ scene is filmed erotically. Critics say the issue of rape is whitewashed in this movie. *Some of the relevant historical inaccuracies that critics have found are: 1. Artemisia is portrayed as being obsessed with male genitals 2. The actual trial transcripts of the rape do not lead us to believe that she behaved seductively to wards her art teacher, which is what happens in the movie. 3. Tassi is portrayed as a handsome and devoted lover. In reality, he was allow life that had been previously jailed for sex crimes. He was known to be incestuous and to have raped other women. It was also believed (but this was never conclusively proven) that he murdered his wife. 4. In actual fact, Artemisia did not declare her love for the rapist, nor did she ever deny that she was raped (as she did in the movie). She was tortured to tell the “truth” of the rape, but held to her story and insisted that he was guilty of rape. 5. In the movie, Tassi defended Artemisia from the torture. In actuality, he protected her, insisted he was innocent and maliciously portrayed Artemisia and her mother as whores. *Other critics find this movie especially disturbing as it portrays artists as overly emotional and oversexed people. More horrific is that rape is whitewashed and romanticized, and the survivor falls in love with her rapist. This somehow creates the message that rape is permissible, since she loves Tassi. The blame of the rape is put on the victim. Misogynistic female stereotypes abound, giving viewers the message that there are plenty of excuses for rape to occur. Another disturbing oversight of this movie is that Artemesia is an important figure in the art world, with priceless contributions in the form of her paintings. These successes somehow get downplayed or outright forgotten in the movie.
