The shocking factor in this film for me is the rape scene. I feel that the camera movements help to emphasize this scene as being horrific and terrifying. The camera cuts between jaggerred movements in-between the crowd of men standing in front of Jodie Foster who plays the victim. In certain shots the camera plays Jodie Fosters eyes as a piont of view shot. This engages us, the audience into feeling as if we are there, rather than standing on the sidelines. The intensity of the scene also adds to the suspense. For instance we also see a point of view shot from the 'accused' men. which makes the audience feel as if we are the ones that are taking turns as to who rapes her. this scene is very full on and violent, it isn't glamorized or covered up. It shows it how it is.
