"Irréversible" has had complaints on the stereotypes regarding homosexuals and the rape.
Most rapes supposedly takes place in homes and the rapist is someone that the victim knows. I don't know, it might not be supported by the statistics but that could be because there's a large hidden number of people who choose not to report people they know. Either way I don't think it's important for the movie as it would have been a completely different movie if she had known the rapist.
When it comes to the portrayal of homosexuals the director had a hunch that he could be assumed to be a homophobe so he made put himself in the movie as a club visitor that fiddled with himself.
Personally I don't think that you should expect movies to be realistic in every aspect.

watched GoodBye Lenin!
what left with me was this: every lie (small lies, big lies, white lies, or true lies or whatever) has been supported by a reason, a plausible, sensible, thin reason, the reason you could excuse away everything, anything. The only thing, perhaps, that can make one feel comfortable is that we hold this shining pure sincere feeling to the one we care about. and that is enough to soothe the bruises through all the twists, chaos, muddles, and rocks on the road to the end.... blah,blah,and etc, etc and something about the history and us.

I watched Blast From the Past on Sunday evening. I can't believe we missed it when it was in theaters..I liked it very much.

Finally watched Star Wars: Ep 3 awhile back. I think the best thing that I can say about it is that it's a lot better than the other 2. Altough I think George Lucass needs to put his crayons away now and go home!
Still can't believe he actually had a character in it go "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" While waving his arms about. My. God.
