LIPSTICK (1976)
A lipstick model was raped by the music instructor of her younger sister. The music instructor won the case against the lipstick model stating that it was consensual. After a few months he did the same thing to her younger sister, his student, and the lipstick model killed the music instructor. The story of my movie differs with this as this story gives the impression that there may be consent from both parties and it was done again to the lipstick models younger sister while in my story there was no impression that it was in any way consensual for the sole reason that in my story she was a minor and naive at the moment the act of rape was committed.
The protagonists in both stories ought to bring justice to the adversaries they face but in lipstick she brought justice in her own hand as she saw that there was no opportunity for her to get fair chance in law but the protagonist in my story showed that there’s hope in the justice system as the rapist was found by the authorities

A woman was raped at Central Park and was found unconscious. She recovered quickly after the incident but could not recall what happened on that day. On the same day that woman was raped all five teenagers were there but were at the opposite direction of where the rape incident happened. They were brought in by the police to be questioned and were asked about the incident. The police were interrogating the teenagers and yelled at their faces because they were getting frustrated that they were not getting the answers that they wanted to hear from them. The teenagers were getting tired from being questioned for about two days on something they knew nothing about and wanted to just get out of the place. The police told them to say certain things and told them things that they wanted to hear, which led to the teenagers believing that if they said what the police told them to say then they could leave. They ended up confessing to raping the woman on video and paper and that led to their arrest. Though there were no actual evidence proving they were there at the scene, it did not matter because the police just wanted the confessions, which was their goal from the

Although in different ways, the two women have lost what was most crucial to them. All Carlene Kipps ever wanted was to “love and be loved” however, as she was dying of cancer, clearly weak, lethargic and sick, her family never noticed. Kiki “married her best friend”, and moved to the city of his choosing. There she was pushed into the mold she didn’t know how to fill, and just as she felt she lost the ability to be who she truly was in public, she lost the ability to communicate with her husband in private. Through their genuine empathy and honestly, Carlene and Kiki were able to transcend the differences that separated the rest of their families to become exactly what the other needed. Carlene needed someone to love her, someone to listen, someone to care. Kiki needed someone to be honest with her, and to allow her to be honest in

The owners f the house son also through a New Years Eve party and her husband and a friend went to go check on him.

Looking back on the death of Larissa’s son, Zebedee Breeze, Lorraine examines Larissa’s response to the passing of her child. Lorraine says, “I never saw her cry that day or any other. She never mentioned her sons.” (Senior 311). This statement from Lorraine shows how even though Larissa was devastated by the news of her son’s passing, she had to keep going. Women in Larissa’s position did not have the luxury of stopping everything to grieve. While someone in Lorraine’s position could take time to grieve and recover from the loss of a loved one, Larissa was expected to keep working despite the grief she felt. One of the saddest things about Zebedee’s passing, was that Larissa had to leave him and was not able to stay with her family because she had to take care of other families. Not only did Larissa have the strength to move on and keep working after her son’s passing, Larissa and other women like her also had no choice but to leave their families in order to find a way to support them. As a child, Lorraine did not understand the strength Larissa must have had to leave her family to take care of someone else’s

In the story this young mother is pictured as a careless and weak woman who barely pays attention to her children and the people who take most part of the mother’s responsibility is everybody else in the house. In the story the two boys realize that their mother is different from other mothers because she does not act like the rest of their friend’s mothers who care about their children. The problem keeps escalating because the mother’s parents keep putting pressure on her so that she can dedicate more time to her children. I noticed that things were a little different when she invited her boyfriend to the house to have dinner with her children, a true family moment in my opinion if you ask me. At this point I come to the realization that she wants to have a family like she once did. The young mother then enters a great depression after Max and her end the relationship and that drives her to take her life
