How graphic is the sex scene between Hedlund and Buscemi?


Figured I'd see some thread about the "vigorous banging" that Hedlund claims happens in the film. Did they wind up cutting it?

reply

No it's in there, they didn't cut it. It's not remotely graphic or intimate and is only scene briefly as Sal watches from the door for a second

reply

Yeah, Hedlund tears his ass apart! It's a short scene, but would still make the mainstream audience uncomfortable. i found it hilarious, and Buscemi was great in his few scenes..

Was NOT my fav scene.

wow, I'm not sure why people are saying it's graphic or not graphic at all. Now I'm confused as to the definition.

You see them on bed banging hard and breathing hard. But the shot is obscured because the camera is peering between two doors, so you only see people from the waist up.

But it's still doggystyle, it's obviously anal sex (which I've read isn't as common with gays as most people thinkā€”but I have NO idea on that front lol), and it's pretty obvious there's penetration involved.

Finally, I wouldn't want to be sitting next to my parents during that scene (or any of the sex scenes in this movie).

So... is that graphic? Or not graphic?

reply

To me it's really simple - "graphic" means you get to see the actual penetration. In this case it was very mild, as stated above. Energetic maybe, but only seen from the waist up. And yes I would feel a little uncomfortable watching it with prudish friends/family. But on my own - as I just did - it was really no big deal.

It's not that graphic. If you squint your eyes and tilt your head, it looks like Garrett is beating him up.
