I find it repulsive and sickening that director and actor took advantage of a young girl this way. I wasn't really a fan of Bertolucci but this kinda changed my perception towards Brando.

That these two men purposefully humiliated a young woman for the sake of a movie is sickening. There's no excuse for this, or minimizing what they did. They victimized her. It wasn't literally a rape, but that's what they wanted her to feel like she was going through during that scene. Bertolucci and Brando are scum.

[–]FirePowerCR 3ポイント4ポイント  (5子コメント)

So I'm confused and would like an explanation. The scene was supposed to be a rape and she didn't know? Did he actually rape her? Did they say "Hey it's going to be a sex scene" and then act it out as a rape? I think I need to see this scene to understand how this makes sense. It seems like what the deal is, is they acted out a rape scene and she didn't know it was going to happen.

I probably need to see the scene to understand.

[–]dogofthemilitary 6ポイント7ポイント  (4子コメント)

Brando and Bertolucci came up with the scene, meaning it obviously wasn't in the script. This means she wasn't required to shoot the scene if she didn't want to, but she didn't know that. According to her, she was told what the scene was going to be just before they shot it, and she didn't want to do it and protested but gave in because she thought she didn't have a choice. Brando did not actually rape her; it was all simulated and she herself said that. Basically, I think the outrage should be focused on the fact that she was essentially forced into a scene she didn't want to do that really affected her emotionally, arguably even traumatizing her, but everyone is acting like she was raped or had no knowledge of what was gonna happen, neither of which are true.

I cant think of a scene that requires more prep with the actor than a rape scene. These scenes are usually choreographed right down to any grunting. This is not the time for an improv session which is what those two douches set her up for. If I remember correctly, she had no idea he would flip her over and commence with that butter scene. So the look of horror on her face when Brando shoves his hand down the back of her pants is real. Whats sadder is that she was shamed by theatre goers for participating in such a dirty film. She spent the rest of her career living down the stigma of that scene. Its nauseating.

"...obviously wasn't in the script."

You are basing that assumption on what?

""“I specified, but perhaps I was not clear, that I decided with Marlon Brando not to inform Maria that we would have used butter,” he noted. “We wanted her spontaneous reaction to that improper use [of the butter]. That is where the misunderstanding lies. “Somebody thought, and thinks, that Maria had not been informed about the violence on her. That is false!” Bertolucci added that “Maria knew everything because she had read the script, where it was all described. The only novelty was the idea of the butter. “And that, as I learned many years later, offended Maria. Not the violence that she is subjected to in the scene, which was written in the screenplay,” Bertolucci added.""

[–]dogofthemilitary 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Can I please have your source on that? I'm really curious about where you read that because I've only read articles that say it wasn't in the script and that she said, as a result, she wouldn't have done the scene had she known she didn't have to do scenes that weren't in the script. I don't know if I'm right, but to be fair, I wasn't assuming anything; I was going off of every other article I'd read.

[–]ViskerRatio 77ポイント78ポイント  (53子コメント)

This issue seems like it's being taken very much out of context.

Schneider knew there was a rape scene in the movie and she knew she was shooting it that day. She didn't know about the butter - which was apparently decided that morning - but it seems like people are confusing the fictional 'rape' for an actual 'rape'. Which doesn't appear to be the case at all.

Schneider was definitely unhappy with the film because she was a young girl at the time and felt pressured by Bertolucci into making a highly sexualized film that made her uncomfortable. However, she did consent to being film in this manner.

I can certainly sympathize with her being upset about how she was treated as an actress - I've never thought that a directing technique based on tormenting the actor itself makes any sense. If the actor isn't any good, then get a better actor. If the actor is good, your job as director is to give them the backdrop for their performance rather than try to manipulate them into the performance. If you're simply pointing a camera at a human being who is terrified, you're not shooting a movie - you're doing Fear Factor. The actor should know the character more intimately than the director does and the director shouldn't be hiring the actor unless they have faith in the actor's ability to render it.

I definitely don't think the issue is being taken out of context. It wasn't a literal forced rape, but it was certainly an unconsensual scene involving a 19 year old girl and a man decades her senior. I genuinely don't understand how so many people here are just brushing it off.

[–]Moody_MadEye 42ポイント43ポイント  (10子コメント)

I don't know whether it's because the men involved are such highly regarded artists that people don't want to admit that they might be bad people, it's a bit like when you see people back up Polanski. I think it's absurd that people are so easily brushing this off it's disgusting what Brando and that director did and there's no excuse. That being said we can still watch their films and separate the art from the artist.

Jeremy Clarkson turned himself in to the BBC for his actions.

Never once did he try to downplay what he had done or act like he was being unfairly persecuted. Richard Hammond and James May acted in the same manner.

There is a world of difference between being a general idiot and owning up to it while accepting the consequences and straight-up sexually assaulting a girl while either denying it or pretending it's art.

Clarkson has done some dumb stuff, but grouping him with the likes of Polanski or Brando/Berlucci is a massive downplay of the scope of their crime.

I have no dog in this fight but I think the argument was about redditors defending a person even though the general consensus regarding the circumstances of the event would say it was malicious and wrong. And how there is bias on all sides.

It wasn't really about the character of Jeremy Clarkson or even about the character of Brando or Bertolucci. More about the disposition of people and how we can all by hypocritical when it comes to people we respect/admire and how that affects our judgment.

[–]TheRealNeenja 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh, I'm not trying to defend Clarkson. As far as I'm concerned, the BBC did something ethically correct for once in firing him.

I agree that people frequently find ways to conveniently dismiss the actions of people they admire, particularly if they have attached some part of their own personal identity to that individual (politicians, movie stars, and athletes are some of the most obvious).

I think I just found it annoying when there are much better examples of reddit kneejerk reacting to protect/villify undeserving individuals. Although I'm a bit baffled because I don't remember actually seeing anyone defend Clarkson's actions en masse - but it's not like I followed the actual threads here closely.

I would disagree. Saying that people are taking something out of context, does NOT mean that it isn't bad. Its is entirely possible to claim that people are misreading the situation without brushing it off.

A lot of people are literally claiming that she was forceably raped on the set (check twitter) of a movie, and it was filmed.

What actually happened, was that she had a disagreement with the director, he told her she had to do it anyway, and she complied.

It was definitely wrong, and definitely sexual assault. The actress was not actually being raped on film though.

Perhaps it's because I haven't seen the movie but "unconsensual scene" can mean two things; the actress didn't agree to be in the scene or the scene dealt with unconsensual sex?

From what I gather, the actress knew ahead of time and agreed that the scene would contain (presumably simulated) rape. What she didn't like was that butter was incorporated into the rape? Was she penetrated with the butter, or was it simulated?

[–]Elguappo 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Because she was an adult, had read the script and knew the scene was in the script. Literally the only thing that was a unknown to her was that there was butter involved. Nobody got penetrated, nobody was raped or sexually assaulted.

All intimate scenes but especially rape scenes are intricately choreographed and for good reason. Actors are not sex workers, we dont issue blanket consents. You consent to specified acts and those acts only. In her case, its clear the scene was not choreographed and even worse, that the mega star lead and his director conspired to do things on her body that she did not consent to. They dont know her past or what psychological preparation it took to get into that scene and yet they took away her power in that scene because they thought it would be fun to get a shot of actual fear. She spent the rest of her career saying that it traumatised her to have him go off script like that. Heres hoping nobody ever gives you that kind of power over another human beings body, its clear you would abuse it.

"Actors are not sex workers, we don't issue blanket consents"

Are you saying that sex workers use blanket consents? That if a man pays for a sex worker he has blanket consent to do whatever he likes with her? Butter or no? That is reprehensible of you! You are horrible person that believes all sex workers should be raped.

Shooting a movie scene is not like walking around in day-to-day life. Schneider knew - and consented - to being partially naked and fondled by Brando as part of the scene. Beyond that, the boundaries are very fuzzy.

Now, you can certainly assert that the way filmmakers exploit young women decades their younger is very sketchy. But, at the end of the day, those young women are adults and we can't simply tell them that they can't do those sort of scenes.

It appears it wasn't scripted, they told her about it right before shooting the scene, for what that is worth.

www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/last-tango-in-paris-butter-rape-scene-maria-schneider-marlon-brando-bertolucci-a7457251.html

Schneider, who died in 2011 after a long battle with cancer, told the Daily Mail in 2007 that the scene “wasn’t in the original script”; Brando had come up with the idea and she was only told right before they had to film that part. “I was so angry,” she said.

“Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears,” she said. “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologize. Thankfully, there was just one take.”

She added: “I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that.”

You've posted this same comment multiple times here. The only non-consensual part of that scene is Brando using butter. The way you're saying it makes it seem like the whole rape scene was thought of the day of, and Maria had no idea. It was known that there was going to be a rape scene, just that Maria didn't consent to the use of butter (which was rubbed on her inner thigh).

I understand it is still controversial. But dont go around spouting misleading shit.

[–]illit3 -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

that would be the definition of unconsensual. i guess the problem is the click bait title. if it were something more like "Bernardo Bertolucci Admits He, along with Marlon Brando, manipulated actress to Shoot unscripted 'Last Tango in Paris' rape Scene" it wouldn't be so confusing. when you use words like "conspired", "unconsensual", and "rape" it makes it seem like like something it isn't. it doesn't help when the actress has a quote saying she felt "a little raped" after the scene. i'm not sure if she means that figuratively or literally; the former is certainly the lesser of two evils.
