Show Wednesday, May 1 9, 1 976 BOTHER Pegs 7 mm Mmlmm Wood IHlifin) pifiiir by Quicksilver Ever since the feminist movement began gathering strength, one of their major concerns was to educate people to the tremendously painful psychological and physical effects rape has upon women. Lipstick is the first film that actually deals with this emotion packed subject. The film not only shows rape for what it is a brutal dehumanizing act of violence but also shows how tortuous the trial often becomes for the woman who has been raped. Lipstick is an emotionaly charged film about a highly emotional subject. ; Consider some thoughts on the subject. Susan Brownmiller, author of Against Our Wills, feels rapists are male shock troops that, through their actions, keep women repressed and in a constant state of fear. A theory more in line with classical psychological thought would be that a mans ) hostile agression (hate) against women manifests itself in the act of rape. Yet everyone agrees that rape is an extreemly damaging act -against a women. A rapist, if caught and convicted, faces a prison sentence. His victem faces humiliation, anxiety, and possible permanent psychological damage. A beautiful act between man and woman has been used in an extremely horrible manner. If one believes in the ''Battle of the Sexes" one would probably agree that rape is the hydrogen bomb in the battle. Lipstick shows both the explosion and the fallout. To film a subject as volitle as rape one should be prepared to be quite frank. Hence Lipstick is not for people who are seeking light entertainment. en-tertainment. There are many scenes that are violent in both a physical and mental sense. The filmakers did not flinch at showing the violence, . (although it was done tastefully) but more importantly, im-portantly, they tried to show the results of the violence. Perhaps the most effective scene in the film (and a scene that well be remembered a long time) is the courtroom sequence. Most people have heard that the rape victem is treated brutally in court. Lipstick provides the . first ; dramatization of the degrading process. There is no Perry Mason to extract a confession from the guilty party. Instead, the defense attorney uses innuendo and leading questions that serve only tJBH6(.(f casting ajpersjons on .thejvomans eharai&fegb becomes both nauseating and infuriating at the same time. The film could run into trouble because of the ending. The charge cop-out could be leveled at the film, and to some extent, would stick. There is no doubt that the ending of the film was an emotionally satisfying chatharsis for the audience, and a very dramatic departure from what really happens in rape cases. ; Still the ending seems to serve two purposes. First, it portrays a sense of RAGE that a raped woman must feel. Second, it makes an intellectual in-tellectual statement about Justice and the law. The end of the film is an abberration from normality because the filmakers want to say how they feel life should be rather than the way it is. (this is not to say the filmaker condone the actions, ac-tions, but more that they want to see justice done,) " V- VT.'VH V;i; Lipstick is the first film to deal with the subject of rape exclusively from the female point of view. It is not a light film or a perfect film, but it is an important film nontheless. The film is well done, with a generally high level .. of acting throughout its length.
