Review of Damage (2012) by Harry T — 17 Sep 2007
I remember watching this film as a child and being struck by the fuck scenes. From the start you know this is all going to end badly, you can hear the naive hope in Jeremy's voice and you can see his uncertainty when he says "Don't worry.
It will be fine." Perhaps some persons are attracted to damaged people because they're intriguing, getting to know them is a journey into the unknown because they're harder to interpret. She is tortured to the point where she is tempted to do bad when people want to do good for her and he wants to know what it feels like to miss something you desire so much it hurts.
To be jealous of your own flesh and blood and to immerse oneself into a forbidden but pleasurable obsession, the kind that makes you forget everything, is deliciously perverse. Contrary to popular opinion I thought the fact that Juliette was supposedly not very fond of Jeremy helped to produce the tension that was needed to represent the awkward guilt that would come out of this unhealthy relationship.
