major loss from the script to the screen

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2004)

On the hospital scene, just as the sick male nurse presents the comatosed Bride to the trucker dude, the script mentioned a closeup of a very beautiful, lovely bunch of blonde pubic hair. I think the scene is really missing, for it would set the tone a few notches up for the violence that comes afterwards, and perhaps would have made it even more justifiable. What I mean is the audience reacts well to edges of emotion, and sex is the edgiest of edges. Anyone who has seen Irreversible will understand my point: it's greatly more disturbing to see the contrast between sex and violence if there is more graphic display of the sex.
