What Does a Sympathetic Portrayal of Sexual Assault on Screen Look Like?
As Sexual Assault Awareness Month comes to an end, I’d like to urge viewers and filmmakers to take a long and hard look at how rape is portrayed on screen.
Fallen
Mariuccia is an elderly lady, whose routine is characterized by small tasks and pleasures. But her freedom is at risk, constant tremors make her fear that her children want to send her to a hospice. The situation worsened after she slipped when coming out of the shower, breaking her arm. After a few days of convalescence and blackmails by her neighbor Grazia, she imagines a perfect lunch with her children and their partners, which becomes a nightmare when a tremor in her arm makes her drop the bowl she was holding. The only thing left to do is overcoming the old misunderstandings, but the will does not persist on both her and her son’s side.

With the Rise Of #FreeBritney, It's Time to Re-Examine "Crossroads"
So with the recent (rightful) public apologies to Britney from comedians and media for trashing her image in the 2000s, perhaps some people should also give Crossroads the fair chance it deserves. It won't be everyone's cup of tea, and that is fine. Personally, I will take my girl Britney and her movie, over the next testosterone "Dude Flick" any day.
