Rachel Fugate Blog #9 Savage Nights Reactions Distraction Can Provide Realizations

Savage Nights: Unlike any movie that I had ever seen...

So I did the live blog during the watching of Savage Nights. It was a very interesting experience due to the fact that through most of the movie I was not entirely sure what exactly was going on. The live blogging definitely help me gather my thoughts in a way that was more cohesive and I was find things that I was confused about in the beginning and became clear later. I realized that I have a very different view from what was right and wrong when it came to this intimate topic than the people in the movie and I think this fact was what drove most of the conversation after the movie.

So my reaction to this movie went a little like this

"So far I don’t really understand what exactly is happening. And the comment that you made on the lymph nodes makes no sense to me and we keep jumping around to where I have no idea what is going on. All I’ve got so far is that he is a camera man. Is he gay… ? So yes quite possibly gay but he does seem to like women which is odd because he always seems to just look scares when he is around them or almost in awe. I am very confused. Okay even more confused buy I think the guy from the club is back. The interesting bit with the cross dresser did not make much sense but I think that….lost my thought. He is jumping between men and women so I am almost certain now that he is bisexual. Ha I guess right J she is an odd person. This guy is a play boy. I haven’t seen the camera in a while and now he plays the guitar. Why is it that his guy is always smiling like he knows something that no one else does and those around him just look unhappy? Ohhhh that’s what the lymph node thing was HIV I got it now. And I just can’t figure out what this guy is the black is who he is. Worst opossum impression ever. Oh god please don’t tell me you are going to tell her on her birthday. And it all comes tumbling down because you are an awful person buddy. This girl is dumb…and this guy is very selfish. Why is it her automatic reaction to fall in love with him when he is so obviously not a very good person? And then you take him to meet you mother, I don’t like you anymore either. How dare you let this guy disrespect your mother. This child is going to  make me want to slap her repeatedly is she. This guy has slept with EVERYBODY. Hmmm I wonder if the boyfriend and the girlfriend know each other. Cu   jonnorocks and now jonno has attacked my key board so this is getting to where I just don’t feel like watching it anymore because these people are so stupid. Stop hugging him he is a selfish BEEP. And how old is this guy anyway. Oh poor you you are a whore and now you wish for people to feel sorry for you well that is in no way something that is going to happen. And now I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Some kind of brothel house maybe but I can’t tell it the rugby guy is the one who is working there or not. I kjkkjhn vbnj m and jonno strikes again… I am not sure if anyone is actually understanding what is going on in this movie. This chick is quite perspective but I think she is quite…lost thought new one. This guy is destroying every person he touches just like the disease that he has manifested itself into a thing. Stop grinning you stupid idiots. You better not sleep with him or you are just going to completely plummet to worst person ever. And now we have stopped."

I think as the movie went on I saw the more what is private and what is public dilemma that we are trying to get at. I felt that all of this was a private affair, but within that private there is the need to be honest with people. I find that things like sex and personal lives are private and they only involve the people that they affect. As you could see I was rather put off by some of the things that happen in the movie. My language and thought process just became more and more sporadic and uneducated. I didn't want to go into it because I feel like it has been hammered away at in our lives much to much, but this argument, the first thing that it brings to my mind is the issues of gay marriage, abortion, or even laws about sex and sexual activity in general, which actually exist as we know. And what question always comes to mind for me is why is it the laws business? I know the arguments so please don't feel like I need to be enlightened, and this is just my initial reaction to all of these things. What business is our business and what is public business?

Please take in stride the more distracted moments in my live blog. I wanted to include everything that I (or Jonno) because I feel like if I got rid of it then it would not capture the entire essence of how I reacted during the movie. :)
