I didn't feel sick watching, but that scene was so shocking. Omg!
There's something wrong with Esther.

I will never ever watch it forever

This movie freaked me the beep out- it was soo real and just plain disturbing. I felt the need to share it with people, telling them this is something like you've never seen. Everyone i showed it to were both bothered and saddened. This scene was horrible, but that scene with the old man going down on Neil was THE worst- it was just sooo gross and disturbing.
Soo much of this movie got me pissed off because all these men (many who were probably married or cheating) just pissed me off. I have a really big pet peeve about that kind of thing.

There is no gay sex in this film.

All the gay sex was cringe-inducing and absolutely repulsive

Glad I'm the only one that didn't shed a tear during that scene.
Great performances all around - I really felt like I knew JGL's character and felt sick to my soul when watching it.
Deftones makes the world a better place

I didn't, but probably only because I've seen films with worse rape scenes and I've become sort of desensitized to it.
Conform or be cast out

It was extremely disturbing, especially with the way it was shot. Normally you get shots from different angles. But because the film was shot focusing on the rapist's face, you get the sense that you are experiencing what Neil is experiencing.
This is what I wanted to point out. I think the angles in this is what makes the scene. I havent seen alot of rape scenes in movies, maybe I'm sheltered but what Ive seen and in my own life.. Rape is bad any way you look at it. This was more about the violence. Its always sad to see a rape that you feel like is apart of your own doing. Whether drinking or being alone at a party or in the extreme case, a small prostitution gig.. its really sad that some of society points their finger at the victim, it shouldn't even be acknowledged in my opinion. If its unwanted, its unwanted. Period.
Most of this movie fell flat for me as far as storyline but I guess it was just a weird way to connect two unlikely characters. I thought they were great together. It shows so many instances where the character is put in these awkward situations. Although I own this movie, I'm not pulling it out all the time to watch it. Levitt is great.. the only movie that really rings true for me is Brick however on a sidenote.

I felt like vomitting, I was so disturbed.
Yep. I felt like that. I also cried pretty hard. Actually, the whole movie made me feel nauseous. I knew it wasn't going to be a fun movie, but it made my skin crawl more than I expected. The performances were outstanding.
It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Yeah. I was okay with the rest of the film but that made me feel ill.

The rape scene was really intense. It made my eyes tear up mainly because I thought Neil was going to die. It was more disturbing than the old men scenes.

I had to pause that scene for a second.
Have a little cry.
Tell myself that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an ACTOR and that I am watching a movie
And then I started it again.
Hard scene to watch

The part where Neil is washing his face, and then looks up and sees the lock being flipped open by the rapist.
OMG that killed me.
Just that split second of a close-up of JGLs face and the way his head kind of snaps up in apprehension.jesus

OMFG the rape seem was horrendous but let me tell you about the part that scared me the most: The part where Neil is washing his face, and then looks up and sees the lock being flipped open by the rapist.
Hands down, that part where the rapist pries open the lock and you see it flip over scares the beep out of me, I'm serious. The rape scene is horrible, obviously but just that part where you see the lock just slowly flip over I'm literally dying, even though that part only lasts like 5 seconds it is seriously worth at least 2 minutes to me.
That beep lock haunts my dreams every single night.

I know.
I was like, ohmygod.
Poor JGL! D'x
that guy was crazy with his damn shampoo bottle.
I was like, WTF.
-shakes head.-
and that one other guy with the spots on his back: EW.
There are no words for it.
Arthur: Yeah, it was worth a shot.

This may make me sound like some kind of freak, but I've seen this movie four times now and own it. The disturbing scenes are still just as disturbing no matter how many times I've seen it. I bought this movie because I love the acting (and forgive me, have a fatuation with Joseph Gordon-Levitt). The movie is very disturbing, but I keep reminding myslef that it's just a movie and the scenes are not real.

ill take it you havent seen "Irreversible". That rape scene is so beep long it loses all dramatic quality and becomes like helplessly watching someone else really get raped.

I have difficulty watching any brutal rape scene (Pulp Fiction, Leaving Las Vegas, that Jodie Foster movie I can't remember the name of) but this one was particularly gruesome and horrific. I just can't deal with sadistic stuff..

you sound like a bit of sicko there mate lol calm the ethusisiasm for watching the film while on the thread which discusses rape haha
What I think he means is "Okay I gotta see what these people are talking about"
