There has been a revelation that Bernardo Bertolucci, when Making Last Tango in Paris did not discuss with Maria Schneider the rape scene they were planning, in order to capture very real emotions from the young actress. He only crafted it with Brando.
Maria has stated, before she died, that she felt "a little bit raped." I haven't seen the movie, and from what has been revealed I don't know if I want to.
IMHO, I think the director went WAY too far to capture the performance he wanted. WAY too far. No actor / actress should have to go through humiliation like this for the sake of a motion picture. NO ONE.
I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this. Do you see the director, and Brando, in a different light? Does this change your view of the film? Will you watch it again?
