So this is a snuff film
Maybe IMDB should take it down and distributors should stop selling it since the director and actor admitted to raping her on camera.
shareA snuff film is a pornographic movie of an actual murder. This is not a snuff film. -
Also, from the article I read she wasn't raped. It was faked but she didn't know everything was going to happen.
That said I agree that it's disgusting and awful what they did and it's still assault but it's not a snuff film.
Basically, it is bizarre that there are actually people that think Brando and Bertolucci staged an actual rape for a movie. The rape scene was in the script. Maria knew from the time she signed on she was going to do it. The part that got added was Brando decided over breakfast to introduce butter to the scene. That's it. So, she did not show up on set one day and was suddenly told "We are going to do a scene where Marlon rapes you." she knew she was doing that scene...she just did not know Marlon and Bertolucci were going to introduce butter to the scene.
There is no rape in the scene nor is she assaulted. They perform the scene from the script ...simulated sex which is pretty damn obvious if you watch the scene as Marlon does not even remove his pants...it actually looks fairly ridiculous...but they add shots of the "butter."
That's it. Wow, can people be ridiculous.
