KEYBOARD GUEST: QUARTER SOTO LETICIA
The viewing of specific scenes of violations that we discussed in class [Broken Blossoms, Gone with the Wind, Straw Dogs, Blue Velvet, Pink Sauce, Kika, Baise-Moi, Irreversible, Defendants], obviously unpleasant. I do not understand what it seeks to contribute to society or the world of film to shoot scenes as horrific and as pointed out in class, it seems that every time you spend more time with each film to such scenes. It
very plausible that through film attempt to carry out an awareness campaign about sexual violence on women, but I understand that you can accomplish the same thing if that raising awareness is a more implicit. That is, in general we know that rape is completely reprehensible action, because it involves a humiliation of women, a total submission to the will of man, is also the woman becomes a mere object, is a violation, etc., but all that we know, or at least know the vast majority of the population, so intrinsic to the human condition itself, for our moral understanding, our own code of conduct and ethics code itself has established social evolution have taught us well.
is true that years ago we had this idea, but the woman was a mere object that was subject to the free disposal of man, not only within their closest personal. But we can not deny is that yes that evolution has occurred.
So is there a real need to shoot these films? In my opinion no, or at least not this way, because as said in the morning these scenes have been defragmented of those movies and ended up appearing in the "top ten" Most viewed the scenes, but most viewed by whom? I honestly do not think that 80% of people who view these scenes is to analyze specific and aware, but I believe that at least the 80% do so to satisfy a need that really nasty and take pleasure in contemplating the suffering of women . And yes, although this is not the interest of the Director, but on the contrary, ie, even though its ultimate goal is to raise awareness, which is being achieved in nurturing the library of these subjects.
Because I really believe that you can at least be able to get the most, ie with a concrete scene as if we said performance Buck to Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill, without showing explicitly the concrete images of the violations, the audience clearly realizes the harshness of the situation.
Another case that I would mention is the film "Baise-moi." The protagonist who behaves in a passive mode at the time of the violation, in the end says something like that should not give greater importance, that fact does not make women victims ,.... And reading in class that was removed was positive about these words, but I think what we have not really discussed is that those words what they are implying is that he is glossing over the fact you may get are not marked by that, but I understand that we can draw from these words is that the protagonist is somewhat resigned, saying good, not to put on a drama about this because it is not the first time it happens, that is, it seems like we just have to live with the possibility that one day someone for being a woman and presumably be at a disadvantage we have to endure this type of sexual violence.
Well, and also the dilemma we proposed that how can you give a lecture on the subject without showing these images? Then repeat the same, sometimes with as little as can be achieved, that is, for example, for a person to realize the harshness of a situation is not necessary the 15-minute show that a subject is stabbing another man 20 times and slowly teach every stab, blood, the agony ... No, because the viewer in a situation of this magnitude and become aware from the start is not necessary to show all the macabre details.
