Busy and detached as I am I cannot miss tghis opportunity to react to the film Splice after having viewed it. It has been a week since I saw the movie, so very well-made by its producers, very well acted and quite well written. Character development and storytelling is laudable. But, please...the sex scene between Adrien Brody and his "creature" Dren played by Chaneac was just too much. It smacks of bestiality and incest put together. I could not figure out why, a week later, I am still so disturbed by this scene. As I was watching it I was cringing. I thought it to be unncessary to the storyline, frivolous and reckless. Another article tries to defend this sex scene saying it was all a dimension to Brody's character (his "need for validation" or something like that. The author of the article defending this scene said he was in a moviehouse filled with audience outraged by the same scene. He narrated he almost walked out of the theatre because the audience couldn't stop commentng about the lurid scene long after it was shown --- well into the end of the film. There is no defense for it. There is no failure for "appreciating artistic expression". It was just too much. It was wrong.
