Many films contain rape within them, usually rape of a woman, as it is statistically more likely for a woman to be raped than a male. This allows the film to evoke real life fear within the audience as it is more relatable to. However we should not forget that rape is an issue for both sexes.
Rape is seen in many modern day films, and is seen as a lot less shocking than it would have say 50 years ago, due to the desensitisation of the audience, therefore it became less of a horrible thing to be shown. Films such as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Accused, Irreversible and I Spit On Your Grave all have scenes of rape within the film.
To deal with Rape in a way in which shows we do not condone it, more like raising awareness and by showing the disgust on Vera's face when she sees the tape, we believe this will portray our personal beliefs on Rape. We will portray the scene in a way which shows it is not acceptable and never allows the audience to empathise with the protagonist, just the victim. I believe if we tackle the subject in a way which isn't too graphic, but is suggestive of rape, this will allow us to keep our rating at 15. We will use rape as a plot device and we will in no way portray this as enjoyable and we will certainly not condone rape.
