she hate me
**note: this post was started on march 30, 2005, before i left for my research trip. i just never got to finish it how i liked, and i didn't now either but, well, fuck it...heh**
i had heard so much flak about this movie that, of course, i had to watch it. and **spoiler alert**
the controversy that i heard the most centered around a man impregnating multiple lesbians for money and of course this infuriating the "lesbian community." well i'm not familiar with this "lesbian community" which i think was the same one that protested over BASIC INSTINCT because it was portraying a bisexual murderer and they were tired of that portrayal. i felt very naive at the time because i did not know that lesbians and bisexuals being portrayed as unhinged murderers was common. i still can't think of any examples and that may not be because they don't exist, but i'm just unaware of them. and if anyone else can think of any feel free to post them in comments. so i felt pretty sheltered by protests i felt were ridiculous and probably only served to boast movie proceeds.
so, i wanted to see what this movie was about. and once again i find myself divided in trying to review this movie, it's hard to review it just as a movie without trying to review with regard to the lesbians and as a "lesbian" movie.
first the main story, which in itself is difficult to describe since it feels like you could make 5-6 different movies from all the plotlines. it starts as our "hero" jack is a biotech executive, unmarried, very ambitious when his friend and colleague commits suicide and thus revealing misdeeds commited by the company's managment. jack decides to become a whistleblower and turns them in. well, they of course have all the pull and jack is fired and his assets frozen.
so then his ex-girlfriend shows up at his door with her new girlfriend offering to pay him to inseminate them both. he, of course, is offended. at first...
what begins as a single time turns into a lucrative little business, with his ex-girlfriend bringing over other "lesbians" who want to be inseminated. oh, and did i mention? he doesn't jack off into a cup. no.no.no.
he FUCKS ALL OF THEM. and to make it even more incredulous, the ex brings over 5-6 dykes like for 2-3 nights in a row. oh, and they ALL CUM.
they all get pregnant, he has to testify in front of some congressional committee and in the end he gets off (again..hehe), he has some weird reconciliation with his girlfriend (wanting to be part of this new family, and the girlfriend is expected to be ok...blech) and in a flashforward has two little sons with the lesbians and then there's pictures of all his other offspring.
there were a TON of things i had to say about this movie regardless of the multiple plotlines and the disappointing fact (don't know if it's completely true) that Tristan Taormino was the "consultant" for the lesbian sex scenes...tsk tsk tristan...
for another review of this movie go to a more reliable source.
heh
