I have always felt KB and Alex are more FWB than anything else. I have also entertained the notion that Alex has been intimate with men in his past. No big woop to me. This just makes me believe he is freaky in the sack.
I totally agree with this ^^. Alex's attack isn't even the main rape. But I do remember Alex praising KB in a interview about how she handled the rape scene (which I find totally odd).
She is a professional actress, what other way should she handle herself? Well I'll tell you, she shouldn't be crying and shaking over it. When they say "cut" she should be able to break away from the scene and act normal. I have never heard of an actor (except for Health Ledger) get so into a part they internalized it like it really happened to them.
To me this relationship started on a really F-ed up note. I mean how can you act out a scene with a man brutalizing you and then somehow you become sexually attracted to that person. Or how can Alex act out a rape and then become sexually aroused with that person. When I have an initial experience with a person it's difficult for me to move beyond that, especially if it's a brutal/intense situation. This is why first impressions are so important. I just don't get how when they became intimate they didn't get Skeeved out. Or, I might add, maybe they have some internal sexual tendencies toward this. Can you say CRAZY!!!!
This relationship would be a psychiatrists wet dream.
LOL--great post. Not quite a wet dream, but close enough!!!!
