Uncomfortable

 

Yay for infinite laziness! I think that last panel is my worst by far ^___^

I've always had a level of difficulty watching things that pertain to sexuality, not necessarily because for the most part the sexuality of our culture is totally immoral, but because when I watch it, I feel like I'm seeing things I shouldn't be seeing because they are private. Even when the relationship is between a married couple I get a little uncomfortable if the scene spends too much time in the bedroom because I think sex is something special and private between them, and watching it is a little weird.

Its even worse  if it has to do with rape, which we got a pretty good look at in A Feather Tale. Even though it was not graphically explicit with what it showed (which was brilliant. Making a movie about rape 'sexy' would completely ruin the tone and power), I could tell what was happening, the emotions she was experiencing, and more and more I got uncomfortable. But that was the point of this piece, wasn't it? Surely she wasn't retelling her own, very personal story of being raped with the intent of 'Wow, I bet a ton of people will love this! Its the feel-good movie of the year!' No, it was meant to jarr you, to make you get a taste for the trauma that goes along with it. And as far as that goes, I think it did an incredible job.
