"Physically, you're a whore, but inside you can be very good." A new Russian film condones rape. But viewers are outraged.
Social media users have condemned the new Russian film "Directly Kakha: Another Film" by director Viktor Shamirov. The film justifies the rape of its heroine and blames her for it.
The film's protagonists, Kakha and Sergo, go to a party to rob the cars parked there. A drunk woman stumbles into one of the cars and passes out in the backseat. Kakha decides to take advantage of her unconscious state and rape her. Kakha, however, says onscreen that "maybe she'll get a kick out of it."
There's another scene in the film: Kakha and Sergo make excuses to the girl's father. They say she left the cafe drunk, and it's good that "Kakha ruined it, but what if some drunken fart had done it?"
"And in general, I think he's attracted to her. I tried everything I could to pull him away, but he wouldn't leave her side. It's definitely love!" says Kakha's friend Sergo. The girl's father decides to send her "to the mountains, to her grandmother's village, for re-education."
After the incident, Sergo whispers to the raped girl: "There's a soul inside your body. The soul must control your body. Because physically you're a whore, but inside you can be very good. The soul and the body need to come to an agreement. Anyway, you get my point. Don't drink."
The YouTuber Woodmark, who released a review of "Another Film," was the first to draw attention to a clip from the film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2efkUVUQvdA&feature=youtu.be). Other bloggers and commentators joined in.
"Songs about drugs aren't allowed in Russia, but films about rape can be shown nationwide. The logic is 10 out of 10. Everyone involved in creating these 'comedies' should be held criminally responsible. This is just too much, people! I would walk out of the theater at the scene of violence. I would cause a scene. I have a friend who went to see this film and praised it. I don't know how to talk to him now," viewers write on social media.
Let's add that the film currently has a rating of 2.6 on Kinopoisk (https://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/5236765/).
