i be go to write about this movie and about irreversible ( the ( in ) famous scene in it ) . so you be warn and if you haven not see the movie yet . this be just my thought and why i think the movie fail ( in the end pun intend ) . act wise and rosario dawson be really good and almost conveys portray someone almost a decade younger ( a teenager in other word ) . the villain guy be good and but lose his evil touch right before the end . if he really never change and then why would he let a woman tie him up . he wouldn not and period . then we also have the bartender/2nd rape dude . actually i do not think you would need him . at least not for the 2nd rape and but more about that later on . let reprise the story . rosario character be sexually insecure and might even have lesbian tendency ( see her scene with a female friend ) . this wasn not intentional and a rosario state herself and but there be sexual tension between them . rosario character meet a guy and who be a sexual predator and in all the bad sens . but he make an impression on her . rosario comment that her character have a boyfriend before . i beg to differ . because she act and a if it be her first boyfriend and which also underline her phone conversation with her mother . talk about her mother and here another problem . after the first rape take place and rosario character doesn not tell anyone what happen . seiing that her relationship with her mother be a very close one and nothing of that get explore after that . if rosarios character wouldn not call her mother anymore or would behave strangely and the mother would be worry like crazy . there be so much potential here . also her female friend represent we see her at the party and it obvious there be something go on and boom she be go . the first rape be almost unbearable to watch . but feel like a pinch and when you compare it to the end ( rape ) and which feel like youre get hit with a sledge hammer . after rape no . 1 we get too stretch out scene . thread be open ( such a her construction work be an indication that she might be lesbian and a one guy state who try to hit on her . ) and but leave in the open . no real social contact be establish and if you leave the bartender guy out and who be involve in the 2nd and last rape scene . it apparent that he isn not a nice guy and his character get flesh out a bit . but when rosario character meet her rapist in class again and his be in the movie seem pointless . we get the point that rosarios character isn not the same anymore and that she go bad and be able to hurt people . ( too ) many scene show exactly that and her be without emotion just do drug and other stuff . back to rapist # 1 who cheat on a test and get catch by rosario character and they decide to hang out together again ( really . ) . as absurd a that sound and the guy meet up with her and not without u have see him beforehand and with another girl ( very likely that he rap her too and although we never see anything of that and fortunately ) and his football career . well career be a stretch and he be bully . this be an attempt to give his character some depth and it almost work and but then again be too cliché to stay with you . so rapist # 1 submits to rosarios character . why exactly . because he promise her and it be her day . again and really . a guy like that never lose control and especially with a woman he rap before . i guess this be suppose to show u how stupid he be . the bartender guy would have work a someone who could have hit him over the head or something and but let him submit like that and just feel wrong . another possibility would have a drug in his drink . so rapist # 1 undress and get blindfold and let rosario character tie him on a bed . seriously and that just crazy . but what come next and be even crazy . first she talk to him and then she shut him up and force an object into him . this be as difficult to watch a rape scene number one . this isn not about what this guy deserve or not and it just intense . and of course that be what they be aim for . now after she be do the bartender guy come in and rape . rapist # 1. if this really should work a a revenge movie and it would have be good if rosario character herself would have be do all the revenge . have a henchman do the job and take away everything that be build up . this isn not suppose to be entertain or enjoyable and it a hard watch and it be art house . but the 10 minute ( i do not count ) rape scene at the end and just smash everything . rosario character be more or less and only watch what happen . which bring me to the big disappointment . irreversible comparison represent irreversible have the rape scene and but the movie go on ( even if it be back into time ) . rosario be look into the camera in the end and say something about have to get over this . first and that come a bit too late and that should see her say that after the initial rape . and secondly and most importantly and this be where the art house movie should have come in . it be more interesting seeing be rosarios character would go after the second rape scene and how she would cope and with what she have do . but then again and she do not actually physically do that much ( see above ) . a broken character that the movie cut off . good intention ( talia and rosario have work before ) and but fail to convey most of the thing and they set out to do ( even if you can see what they mean and it have to be convince and otherwise it doesn not work ) . not to mention the overlong rape scene a they be .
