摘要

《她说》(Maria Schrader, 2022)、《女人说》(Sarah Polley, 2022)和《Tár》(Todd Field, 2022)都讲述了性骚扰和强奸的后果。值得注意的是，这些电影都拒绝描绘性侵犯，这与用性暴力来刺激观众的流行电影做法不同，表面上是为了否定它。通过避开攻击场面，这些电影将观众的注意力从个人行为转移到意识形态结构上。每部电影都代表了不同版本的强奸文化和对强奸文化的抵制;在这样做的过程中，每个人都要求观众将罪责从攻击者和他们的直接推动者延伸到赋予他们权力的制度体系。通过不描绘强奸或性侵犯，这些电影也表明电影观众也是强奸文化的同谋。他们的代表性策略暗示，坐下来观看模拟的性侵犯作为娱乐，隐含着对这种性侵犯的接受——因此，观众不应该只是要求更好，而是自己做得更好。

Empowerment by Design

She Said (Maria Schrader, 2022), Women Talking (Sarah Polley, 2022), and Tár (Todd Field, 2022) all address the aftermath of sexual harassment and rape. Notably, these films share a refusal to depict assault, which differentiates them from the prevailing cinematic practice of titillating audiences with sexual violence, ostensibly in order to repudiate it. By eschewing assault scenes, these films turn their audiences’ attention from individual acts to ideological structures. Each film represents a different version of and backlash against rape culture; in so doing each asks the spectator to extend culpability beyond assailants and their immediate enablers to the institutional systems that empower them. By not depicting rape or sexual assault, these movies also suggest that film viewers are complicit in rape culture too. Their representational strategies insinuate that sitting back and watching simulated assault as entertainment carries with it an implicit acceptance of such assault—and thus that audiences should not just demand better but do better themselves.
