So the BF scene is a proxy act as it is to symbolize the rape of a female, via the stabbing of a sow. Roger says, "Right up her ass!" just as he stabs her (Chapter 8). This is to symbolize the transformation of civilized boys into blood/lust thirsty animals. And as far as THAT scene, you are just going to have to re-watch it (original B&W unedited version) and pay attention as I cannot describe in detail here on BC. As far as NL films vs US/UK films, true the times there have changed from the 1970s, etc. But even today it is still different. Do you think Disney or Universal would make Young Hearts? Impossible. Even as basic as s-appeal in wardrobe or directing, there would be a difference as an art piece vs a bubblegum Micky Mouse Club take. I would expect a Disney version of LOTF today to be a group of boys locked inside of a middle school with no wifi/signal and no ability to make TikToks. ![]() |
