CW: (CW: SA) FemRevengeFlick: I Spit on Your Grave (7/?)
Now, for probably the two most problematic aspects of how the perpetrators are depicted:
1) One of the perpetrators is an intellectually disabled man who is often bullied by the others using slurs, and is bullied into participating in the sexual assault. I have really conflicting feelings about this, as it reinforces a lot of tropes where disabled and neurodiverse people are depicted as dangerous and violent threats in horror cinema. Not to mention, it's not really an accurate portrayal, in my eyes, of any particular disability and I'm assuming there were no intellectually disabled people involved in portraying this character.
I honestly think the plot would be better served by having someone who is not intellectually disabled be bullied into and eventually participating in the violence. That is the role the character serves, showing how some men might not necessarily be wanting to engage in sexual assault themselves, but are all too easily able to become complicit in it.
2) There is a clear dichotomy of rural, working class people as dangerous and urban, educated, middle-class people as vulnerable innocents. This is a trope in horror cinema broadly (e.g. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hills Have Eyes, etc.). There is a certain verisimilitude to this depiction, as there really are creeps like this in the world, but this dichotomy is problematic as heck. Working class people are often more likely to victimized by violence and crime, as our criminal justice system is largely built to serve middle-class people, but it is far less common to see the reverse of this.

I also want to discuss the way the rapists are depicted, because there are things that I both appreciate and think are extremely problematic about it.
A lot of times, rapists in movies and TV are depicted as basically total strangers. This feeds the copaganda narrative of those inherently evil and dangerous men, usually Black men or men of color, who women need other men to protect them from. This depiction is extremely misleading of what the real risks and who often are the real perpetrators of sexual assault.
The majority of sexual assaults are done by someone the victim knows. And A LOT of them are committed by white men and men that are believed by others to be "protectors" and "providers."
This is where the writing of the movie really works for me. The leader of the group of men is a small business owner and veteran who is married and has children. All four of them are white men. And Jennifer has met these men multiple times before the assault, one of whom she even calls a friend. This is far more realistic in who perpetrators of SA often are. These are the kinds of men I actually fear.

This is part of what horror movies do for us. Part of the catharsis experience of horror is to simulate something we fear while we know in the back of our minds that we are safe because the thing behind the screens isn't actually happening. It's like a roller coaster or even kink in that way, allowing us to play with our fears while knowing we are actually safe.
For me, "I Spit On Your Grave" does that for me. I have encountered groups of men who have harassed me or made me feel unsafe, and known that I can't control or stop them if that group decides to overpower me and do violence to me. In one case, I was stalked down the street at night by two drunk men who had shouted transphobic and misogynistic sexual harassment at me. These scenes allowed me to ride through that sense of insecurity that sits inside me and let that fear play out while knowing I am actually safe, releasing the tension of that insecurity.

The first thing I want to talk about is how the initial abduction and sexual assault is depicted.
Jennifer is relaxing by herself in a canoe on the lake. She is in a bikini, just trying to enjoy some peace in nature as she takes in the summer sun. Two of the men approach her on a motorboat. I would describe them as being depicted as "good ol' boys" who are often "boys being boys" despite both clearly being grown-ass men. They speed up on her, piloting the boat in circles around her canoe, causing it toss and turn in the waves. While hooting and hollering, they start harassing her while circling.
She screams at them to leave her alone, and even swings her canoe paddle at them, trying to scare them off. To these men, this is all fun and games, while she is clearly frightened. They grab the rope at the front of the boat that's used to tie it up to the dock at the cabin, and speed off dragging her in her canoe far away from the cabin.
This, for me, is the core of the fear of the movie. Growing up in the Midwest, I have known boys and men that act like they are "just having a little fun" and playing around as they harass a girl or woman. Often, the woman in question is scared and does not share the feeling that this is "just a prank." And this film depicts what the real fear of those moments is: what if these men don't stop there? Literally, what is the worst that could happen?
And this movie takes us there. I think this part of the reason a lot of men describe this movie as awful - they are uncomfortable because they are relating to these men and are seeing what the violence is that is implied in their "just boys being boys" behavior is.
They drag Jennifer out into the woods from there, and while she kicks and screams, and begs for them to stop, they rip off her clothes, they hit her, and they rape her multiple times. They then leave her beaten and scarred in the dirty, grimy lake. She has to stumble back to the cabin severely injured, bleeding, and covered in muck and dirt. This scene is harrowing and if you identify with the woman in the scene, it is taking you through that fear.

For those that have never seen the film, here's the TLDR: Jennifer Hills is a writer from NYC that goes to a cabin by the lake to work on her novel. She is then targeted, abducted, and violently sexually assaulted by four men in the woods. She is left out there at first, and struggles her way back to the cabin. The four men decide to go to the cabin too, raping her again, and leave, expecting one of them to kill her. He pretends to kill her, but is unable to, and she is left for dead.
We then watch her painful and slow recovery. She is spotted by some of the men one day while she is still recovering, and she decides then what she is going to do: kill them. She lures one of them out to the cabin, pretends she wants to have sex with him again, and hangs him. She does this again with another one, cutting off his penis in the bathtub and listening to him die slowly over classical music. Lastly, she finds the two who first abducted her and murders them using their own motorboat they used in the abduction.
The original version of the film does not flinch away from simulating and depicting both the first and second sexual assaults. And in my opinion, it depicts it as violent and horrific, with Jennifer clearly being in fear, pain, and attempting to resist.

I do want to say up front: If you do not like this movie or hate it, that's okay. If you are a survivor and never want to see it or despise it, that makes a heck of a lot of sense. That said, I want to note that there are survivors who have talked about why this movie is important to them, like BJ Colangelo (https://www.fangoria.com/problematic-films-in-defense-of-i-spit-on-your-grave/).
I also want to note: there are some shitfuckers out there who like this movie and others for exactly the wrong reasons. There are vile people out there who get off on seeing violence done to women. I wouldn't mind if those awful creeps met a real life Jennifer Hills.
I also share some criticisms many do, especially of the original uncut version. I think it does spend too much time on depicting some of rape scenes, in a way that I think enables some of the worst ways of viewing the film. Not to mention, there's very complicated ethics to depicting sexual assault on film, and it's easy to stray over the line onto the wrong side of it.
All that said, here's why I actually like this movie and what it says to me.

When you think of the #FemRevengeFlick (often called the "Rape Revenge" exploitation subgenre), what is probably the movie that most comes to mind as the classic example of the genre?
"I Spit on Your Grave" (1978) is the one that comes to my mind first and foremost.
In case you don't know, this movie is has a long history of controversy and censorship due to the uncut version having many long depictions of rape. Depending on the version you see, this may be so heavily edited that almost none of the actual sexual assault is seen, or you might see a clear simulation of multiple acts of rape by multiple people.
When it was first released, it was heavily opposed by feminists and others for these depictions of rape, with the assumption that it was glorifying or celebrating the sexual assault. Heck, looking up reviews today, there sure are a lot of folks calling it trash and filth and awful.
The thing that strikes me though is that the reviewers who despise it most often seem to be men, such as Roger Ebert famously calling it "a vile bag of garbage." Meanwhile, there are many women, femmes, and non-binary people who love it, with references in songs like Zand's "I Spit on Your Grave" (https://youtu.be/8s7blmZXUiI?si=Zw2Z01l9642jlZnq).
I am one of those women who love this movie.

#Cine #Blues #Music Estoy viendo la película #LosPecadores, #Sinnners protagonizada por Michael B. Jordan y Delroy Lindo. Me está gustando mucho, la música blues está en los cimientos de este film y eso atrapa inevitablemente a un flipado del blues como yo. Una de las canciones que suenan en el film es esta versión de Wang Dang Doodle interpretada por Cedric Burnside (el nieto del legendario R.L. Burnside), Sharde Thomas-Malloy y Tierinii Jackson.
