</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The newly released IFC film 'Victim' has an extremely graphic rape scene that is causing an uproar amongst activist groups. It looks so real, that many are calling it borderline illegal. The rape scene involves a beautiful young girl and a transgender who apparently are</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">not credited for their on screen roles.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

They sent a letter to the MPAA board asking for the </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">elimination of the scene entirely, stating that the film was </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">"exploitative and damaging for not only rape victims but also society </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">as a whole." The footage, according to the groups, where real rape footage appears should not be seen in a R-rated film. Normalizing such acts in the mainstream can lead to it acceptance in society.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">The filmmakers have assured the groups that the scenes, although </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">graphic and realistic, were in fact acted. They have agreed to meet </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">with representatives of the groups and show them footage of the </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">filming. The groups have rejected that offer and, according to many,</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">"remain firm on their stance." They have stated that "films like 'Victim' and others that glamorize rape desensitizes audiences and exploits the trauma and suffering of rape victims." </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05866366043944023449noreply@blogger.com
