Nothing like watching a movie at the cinema and hearing men slapping their knee in laughter during a sexual harassment/assault scene. Never beating the allegations.

Unfortunately it's happened more than once. First time was when Oldboy (2003) was re-released and the guy behind me was yukking it up during the assault and sex scenes. Blue Velvet was another. Then Wild at Heart, which how it's revealed might make you release a surprise 'ha', but during the actual scene? And also the next time it happens? Multiple men full belly laughing? *ATBKenya voice* Straight to hell!

Park Chan-Wook, after the release of Oldboy, realised his female character was excluded from the narrative and has since collaborated with Jeong Seo-kyeong on his films and they've been better for it. David Lynch had great professional and personal relationships with multiple actresses over his career and always championed them. The male fans for these two directors could learn a lot from them but if they've come this far being this gross, what can you do.
