The song was Billie Holiday "You're My Thrill", but it was playing during the
tenement fire rescue. There was no specific mention of music playing during the Owlship Bonk.
Kate P., the line you're thinking of is
"For God's sake, cover yourself up." To me it wasn't so much "...slut" but sort of a '40s era implicit blaming of rape on the victim without the harsh "YOU are a WHORE". More institutionalized than HJ's opinion. I'm probably not being very clear.
As to the
Dead Lesbian Cliche I see it, but I also think that Moore was again commenting on the inherent close-mindedness of the times. In the comic there is explicit statement that Hooded Justice and Captain Metropolis are gay, but keeping it under wraps. If Silhouette hadn't been found out, she would still have been in the Minutemen and may still be alive. Conversely, if HJ and CM had been exposed, they would have been out of the Minutemen.
And as for the
"fall in love with your rapist"...yeah, I got nothing.
Dear David Hayter: FUCK YOU.
(Watchmen screenwriter has an open letter on AICN asking fanboys to see the movie a second time. Here's how he ends it. The last line is whitefonted both for spoiler protection and because I haven't stopped shaking with rage yet.)
You say you don't like it. You say you've got issues. I get it.
And yet... You'll be thinking about this film, down the road. It'll nag at you. How it was rough and beautiful. How it went where it wanted to go, and you just hung on. How it was thoughtful and hateful and bleak and hilarious. And for Jackie Earle Haley.
Trust me. You'll come back, eventually. Just like Sally.
So to summarize, people should see Watchmen again because
it's JUST LIKE EXPERIENCING AN ATTEMPTED RAPE.
Oh yeah - I'm the one with "issues." Did I mention FUCK YOU?
this is a super dumb question, but why did you white font the last sentence of the quote?
Jesus God, Solid Snake, why you gotta say shit like that?
I get that it is spoilery, but I don't understand what the spoiler is? Is it movie related?
It's a key plot point, le nubian. It won't really make sense out of context, but it's spoilery.
I saw the movie! Why come I don't remember the plot point? Can someone explain in white font.
In both the book and the movie,
Eddie Blake attempts to rape Sally Jupiter while they're both in The Minutemen. Years later, she cheats on her husband with him (and gets pregnant).
So the screenwriter is basically saying,
"Sure, my movie tried to rape you, but deep down you know you wanted it."
Oops, here comes that blind rage again.
