But they're already acting in what anyone with a brain can see is a pretentious porno. And I'm just confused about what the assault is... was there an explicit agreement that was broken, or was it just "hey, you want to be in my pretentious sex movie?" "hey do you want to film a pretentious rape scene?"
Yes, there was an explicit agreement that was broken. She agreed to film what was in the script, but that scene was not in the script. Any changes should've been discussed with her but this wasn't. All of the other sex scenes were very blatantly simulated and any touching was touching she knew would happen and had signed on for.
The butter scene was different. The scene itself was sprung on her at the last moment, she was pressured into it and then while filming, they took it even further and did something she didn't agree to.
She had Brando on top of her, pinning her down, her jeans and underwear pulled down...and then Brando put his hand down between her legs to smear butter on her, which she wasn't expecting and hadn't consented to and even if she said no or stop (which she did and we'll never know whether that was her trying to act the scene or not) they wouldn't because her distress worked for the scene and was what the director intended. He
wanted her to actually feel violated, he wanted it to be a real assault, he wanted her tears to be genuine and not acted.
She was hired as an actress, but like he said, he wanted her reaction as a girl being actually assaulted, not as an actress acting a scene...that wasn't part of anything she agreed to. And then she had what happened to her captured on film and people all over the world have been watching it for decades, often mocking it and making a joke of it.
