Implications about Gender in a Lifetime movie.
I didn't catch the name of the movie, but recently I caught the last half of a Lifetime movie about spring break trips to exotic beaches like Cancun and Cozumel. On one such vacation, the main character had unknowingly been tricked into filming portions of a movie similar to "Girls Gone Wild." Though she did not actually cheat on her fiancee, the directors of the film altered the footage to make it appear so. Her family and friends were devastated and her life was ruined by the outrageous adult film which began appearing all over the Internet. In addition to losing her job teaching at an elementary school, the main character also lost her respect as an individual in her community. Sexual predators such as the film directors in the movie think it is OK for them to get women drunk and film them with or without their consent. However, it is not OK either way. Many times, the women are helpless to the situation because they have been tricked into giving consent to the filmmakers. Though they should not have drank so much alcohol to alter their sense of self-control and -respect in the first place, that does not mean that the predator has a right to put other people in sexual situations to sell for profit. Yes, it is the woman's fault to have gotten so intoxicated on her beach trip, but that is not a green light to turn on cameras to film them. These people who make such films have no sense of morals or values and should be punished just as sexual offenders are. In the movie, the main character cannot get any legal assistance to fight for her rights and prosecute the men who created the film. Unfortunately, no one wants to take her case because they believe she has no chance to fight it in a court of law. I personally believe there should be steps taken to stop such sexual predators who prey on innocent young women on spring break trip or otherwise. For example, the filmmaker should have to have more than one little signature to produce and sell such homemade adult films. Placing more/other obstacles along with getting consent from the individual would decrease the amount of adult films that are wrongly and non-consensually produced.
