you know, this explanation makes a *lot* more sense as to why you disliked the movie. i'm glad you detailed it out here and realized what the issue with it was. you don't have to like it, especially if it's that tied to your background either. :D
i remember watching "a clockwork orange" back when i was 21 or so. i'd been through a few sexual assaults that i hadn't been able to deal with yet. a friend of mine went on and on about how *great* this movie was. it came to the rape scene and i totally flashed back. i hated the movie after that. i couldn't watch it. i've seen rape scenes after in other movies that didn't trigger me as bad, but for some reason CO did it to me and to this day, i can't stand the movie. i know it's this, that and the other thing, but it just hit too close to me for me to ever be able to tolerate it.
nothing wrong with disliking something for those reasons. :)
