Why did Francis go off on her?


I know he's an unpredictable cokehead, but he seemed to genuinely care about her in the beginning and he knew what her job was, so I'm not sure why all of the sudden he had a problem with it.

Exactly!!!

That is one of the failures of this script. Too much information left us all wondering what the point was?

For us to care about that scene we needed a bit more depth than a montage of scenes of Francis and Angelica dating. When that bomb was dropped no one really cared and were only left somewhat confused. There should have been some warning, some foreshadowing that this was coming, Hell a bit of throw away dialogue with Francis expressing concern about boy / girl scenes...

Alas we had none.

Because halfway through writing the script, they apparently got bored. It's like the head a good idea and a good start to a movie, and then just wrapped everything up as soon as they could, which is a shame because the acting was good, the cinematography was good (thankfully not delving into shaky nervous cam like so many independent films), the lead was incredibly beautiful, sexy, and gave a great performance. The film just feels incredibly unfinished. But at least it's a movie that promote the happy, non sleazy side of porn, as opposed to films that concentrate on the dark side.

I think he was ok with what she did up until the point she decided to do a shoot with a man- before that is was all girl on girl.

He's the lawyer, drives a nice car, has plenty of pocket money, and was brought up by a fancy Family, but nonetheless he's this hooked kid who had just been punched in the face by a riff-raff at a trashy bar. I think he was mean to her because he was feeling very low about himself, and to get his spirits up he chose to step on someone, and this way feel powerful/better.

Exactly! Remember, too, that he was coked out of his mind in that scene. He wasn't thinking straight, and was probably paranoid as well.

"She's, like, a biscuit older than me..."

Because he cared about her. That he was high made it easier for him to say. Men will normally not tolerate their woman having sex under any circumstances with another man. If he didn't care he would just jump on like everyone else.

It would be tough anyways to be with your girlfriend after she had multiple orgasms with a professional pornstar with a giant dick.

reply

Hahahahah you don't know much about the true nature of porn if you think the actresses are really having multiple orgasms on screen. Dream on!

We should form an opinion based on the evidence. Their sexual relationship does not seem to have any problems as neither makes any remarks about it. She seems to be satisfied with him so why should he be insecure about his penis size? Why assume his dick is smaller than the pornstar? At that point in the film she has not done many boy-girl shoots yet. Franco clearly states that he is disgusted at her having sex with multiple men (though she is having sex with one man) You assume she is having orgasms on camera which I believe makes you naïve. As actors they have to turn it on and off and the film shows such a scene. Not only do our wives and girlfriends sometimes fake it but its a job requirement to sell the orgasm, real or otherwise in a porn flick. A big cock, while sometimes conducive to a woman's satisfaction and perhaps a guy's confidence, is not nearly as important as it is being hard. Not all women are fascinated by big cocks. Some women are physically uncomfortable with a big cock.

Franco's character is disgusted that she is having sex with other men, period, and we need look no deeper than that. Only in today's morality where anything goes and no one should be judgmental is it ok for a woman to parade themselves, to be a slut (having numerous partners) and for talking like a slut.

Real women don't need to expose themselves to attract a man, real men don't need to see a woman naked to be attracted to her, real men are turned by women that sleep around and real women don't sleep around. It is behaviorally normal for a man to be sexually possessive of his woman while are emotionally possessive of their men. Women never forget their first *beep*, first blowjob, first orgasm, etc and many will admit to remembering different things about previous partners. Even secure men do not like the idea that their woman had so many experiences that she might think about other men.

But as a woman matures, has children, etc. she is very unlikely to reflect back frequently I reasonable satisfied with her present life.

Here's a revelation for you: It is normal to be jealous. Men have been derided for the past few decades for being jealous because feminists want no societal limitations on their lives.

Men are from Mars.......

He was just feeling bad about himself and taking it out on her.
