I accidentally stumbled upon "Loving the Bad Man" on Netflix, and I am so glad I, by chance came across this inspirational and moving modern-day morality tale of evil, violence, hate, prejudice and redemption.
It is, quite frankly, the only American film dealing with rape that does so in an intelligent, and, perhaps, more importantly, and honest way.
It is, also, a rare positive portrayal of religion in film from that Fallen Empire that once gave us a brave and noble priest advising the protagonist of "On the Waterfront," and moving him to a heroism and to tap into a courage in facing the evil that he could not have previously ever known he had.
Also, the film depicts both the racism of the Neo-Nazis in prison and the hate and rage that lead rapists to become rapitsts
But, more that all that, I am happy to have discovered and to be able to tell you about the best film dealing with rape that I have ever seen, one devoid of the gross, icky politics that usually serve as land mines, hidden and explosive and dangerous and ready to explode on an unsuspecting victim.
I feel so strongly about this film that I am insisting that my daughters watch it and and tell their friends about it and invite them over to watch it because young women have the right to be told the truth, even though they so rarely are.
