In this movie its starts off by showing a lot of sexual behavior going on. In the beginning credits, before they show the actors names the camera is pointed at all inappropriate areas on a woman like breasts and ass. The movie gives a sense that it is based on sexual intercourse and abuse and molesting.
The first time we see sexual activity is right in the beginning when Vanessa tries to read something on the board, and when she does goes into a very deep sexual kissing frenzy with her fiancée chopper. Then as the movie continues its shown how her step father wants to have sex with her and she says no in the beginning but then kind of allows it and goes with it. She knows her moms a whore and fears that she might be the same but is always angry when pressured by it.
When encountered by Bob he seems all sweet and innocent to her by i right away knew that he was that guy who wanted to sexually abuse her when he pulled up to the high way and the camera was through his vision and he was looking at her ass. From then on i knew that he was going to be bad. He played it off smart. He gained her trust, made her believe that what he was doing was to help her get away from this fear and pain she was always in all her life. She did have a tough life. But then he screwed himself up when he tried to have sex with her in the car and forced her to pull her pants down and then she pulled out a gun and was the one in control. What was funny was how after she was telling him she was going to kill him, he was trying to manipulate her that he was sorry and what not but she didn't believe him.
I was bugging out and wanted her to shoot him. If you guys recall in class lol. And when she did i dont understand how he was able to walk ? like she shot him in the neck, head, back and this dude is still alive ?!? like how is that even possible. But then again its a movie so anything is possible.
The funny parts in the movie is when she being interrogated by the police and rocks the cop in the head with the chair. I thought that was pretty awesome. The other humors thing in this movie is when Bob comes in to the court room all messed up in a wheel chair with a eye missing and Vanessa starts yelling in the court room and laughing at him saying hes not so tough now etc etc.
But aside from all the humor and everything i feel that she was doing all of this because she is angry at her family angry at the world for how she turned out. Her moms a whore, her step father is a child molester, her parents are in jail now she has to go to foster care again, all of this is tough on a child and she just needed someone to trust and talk to and she did to Bob and he screwed her over and thats why she did all of this to him. She took all her anger out on him i feel.
I like the connection you made when you said "She knows her mother is a whore and fears she might be the same." I felt the exact same way that she didn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps that's why she was so clear about her own self respect. She didn't allow ANYONE to take advantage of her in any way shape or form after all she's been through. Her mother was such an unstable person, with the drugs and prostitution. She knew she wouldn't want to end up like that.
ReplyDeleteyea but towards the end i didnt understand why she did though ? she was pretending to be a whore to steal that guys car and what not. like if you hate something so much would you be it just to play a game ? you understand what im saying
