I now have this movie...
And as stated it by others it is extreamly violent. The rape scean is so brutal I fast forwad through it. I don't understand why they had to show it like that, I mean they could have shown the build up, and then scaned to a shadows on the wall. He slaps he tears her dress and then they could go to another scean. When a movie has a scean that violent in it I have to wonder about the people who produced it.
As for the tickling scean, the directores comentary makes no remarks on the tickling, only that they practiced the scean before they did it, and that they guy was nervouse before they did it. Not only is she one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she is an extreamly gifted performer. I might even buy the Matrix Trilogy just because she is in the last film.
