What was the weirdest/most uncomfortable/most awkward scene for you?


I would say the scene where Rebecca is sitting on the deck and tommy throws a net over her and starts playing around with her and then going under her shirt. All the while the girlfriend is there and then she gets so uncomfortable she just dips off like okkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!! Like I felt I was there. Weird lol.

Think for yourself, question authority.

Plenty of "uncomfortable" moments...one that comes to mind is when Rebecca is kissing Tommy (still a child) on the neck & he gives her a strange look.

For me, there are two...

1. When Tommy is in the tub with her. If your child is old enough to recite poetry to you in the bathtub, he's old enough to be bathing alone.

2. The scene where Tommy pins her down in the sand and says "Now I can do whatever I want with you." Even if Tommy said it innocently, Rebecca said "go ahead" and was clearly turned-on. It makes you wonder what would have happened right then and there if that other little boy hadn't interrupted them.

Those were the two scenes that made me feel quite uncomfortable too filmfanatic101.

Yeah, those two were the big ones for me too. Also, if you look at where her eyes are looking in that tub scene...it adds another layer to the 'creepy' factor.

She had that "Give it another 5 years and it'll be ready"-look.

In my humble opinion, those two scenes wasn't the "...weirdest/most uncomfortable/most awkward scene" but demonstrated the hallmarks of modern drama which is true conflict between the characters.

When towards the end he says to her"who are you" then proceeds to have sex with his own mother and mother having sex with her own son. Made me want to throw up. I saw it a while back not knowing what i was really going to see and it disgusted me then, and I just now turned the channel to watch a movie and this one was still playing but almost over and came in on the last part with mother and son doing it and I swear this movie is just all wrong no matter what the writer was trying to get at. I am sorry this movie shouldnt even be allowed to be shown. Some things just shouldnt be made as a movie.

'Some things just shouldnt be made as a movie'

I completely disagree. If anything, films which portray the uncomfortable, the weird or the downright societal 'wrong' *should* be made. Was 'Womb' (or in the UK, 'Clone') a good movie? No. It was average filmmaking. The overarching societal questions, however, were excellently portrayed and relied heavily on individual reaction to provoke response.

I'm sorry you considered it wrong, but you can't remove something just because you disagree with it. Some people may take this argument to the extreme ('omg r u saying kiddie pr0n should be leeegal?!'), however it is the unabashed truth. To remove something because you disagree with it morally is censorship, which gives way to single-mindedness.

If you watched this without knowing, then fair play. I didn't know what it was either - I just saw the words 'Matt' and 'Smith' and 'SciFi' and asked Sky to record it for me. However, to say it is wrong as a movie is to do a disservice to the film industry. It is not there for your pleasure. It is there to help you question your viewpoints, to both support and disrupt them. Deal with it.

This movie is weird on many levels, but I would actually say Tommy is more strange than Rebecca.

Yes, it IS very weird for Rebecca to give birth to her dead boyfriend, raise him as her son, and have sex with him when he's a man. BUT, she knew the whole time that they were not biologically related in any way.

Tommy on the other hand was born and raised believing she was his biological mother. Up until two seconds before they had sex, he called her Mom because he believed she WAS his mother. As soon as he found out they weren't related, he had sex with her, which would imply that he's always been attracted to her even when he did think she was his mom.

reply

All of which is bad, but I still believe that the tub scene is worse. First off, just the fact that shes checking out his small boy nude body is INSANE. I don't care if they dated before she...gave birth to him?

The fact that him as a little boy turned her own was disturbing. Then theres the fact that that had to actuall film that, and Eva Green was actually looking at a little boy nude while resited to her is just too much.

Uh, they are biologically related.

"Passion is just insanity in a cashmere sweater."

reply

no they're not, it wasn't a son she made with her dead lover's dna, she made her dead lover, period.... his mom and dad are still the old couple who left.... yes, she carried him and nursed him and raised him as her son, but they are not biologically related, at all...


It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...

reply

Well, I can understand extracting DNA from tissue but from whose egg did T2 developed? Wasn't it Rebecca's? Or was it some donor's egg?

reply

Clones don't need an egg. Just tissue from the original.

reply

It wasn't a spur of the moment decision, there was always sexual attraction between them. This is revealed a few times before the end scene.
At the end, when he finds out she is not his biological mother and that she was in fact once his lover (he would have assumed), he was then able to release that tension and also give her wanted she always wanted.

reply

"this movie shouldnt even be allowed to be shown."

Have you ever said that about a movie where they kill people?

Which is more wrong: Consensual sex with a cloned and raised boyfriend, or killing another person?

reply

I agree - the undershirt deck scene

I didnt find the movie as shocking as it was BORING

reply

The "now I can do whatever I want with you," scene.

reply

For me, it was during the scene where they're talking about primary school and that Tommy's father is real, when she goes under the blanket and kisses him. Her five year old son.

reply

For me, it was at the very, very end, because that is the way the movie is supposed to end. We are trapped by the way we are supposed to think or rather the way we are supposed to feel. Well, no, not all of us . . . Thank goodness.
