Christy Lee Hughes’ comedic brief movie, Asking For It, is simply so unbelievable it needs to be actual. Hughes performs Police Officer Crawford, responding to a hit-and-run incident referred to as in by the movie’s protagonist (Bryan Kaplan). Our hero was ready at a cease gentle for the “stroll” signal when a black SUV bumped up the curb and struck him.
As the person describes the incident, Officer Crawford begins to query why he was on the road within the first place.
The man says he was going to the liquor retailer for some chips. Crawford begins to obsessively dig into why he was there within the first place. She wonders, “Why simply chips?”…oh, to fulfill his cravings…proper? Then she wonders why he didn’t see the motive force or that possibly the motive force was in his brief shorts.
“…[while] ready at a cease gentle for the “stroll” signal…a black SUV bumped up the curb and struck him.”
Swear to God, however as I’m writing out this description, it dawned on me that Asking For It attracts parallels between this hit-and-run incident and what occurs when a girl stories sexual assault. I’m so dumb. Well performed, director Hughes and author Rhea MacCallum.
Overall, Asking For It peppers this interplay between the police and the sufferer with probably the most irritating components of making an attempt to prosecute sexual assault crimes. Clearly, hidden in plain sight. Rather than vigorously examine the crime, the police examine the sufferer as a substitute. Why had been you there? Sounds such as you invited the assault. If you possibly can’t give me a great description, how I can examine the “alleged” crime.
As a brief movie, Asking For It is so simple as it will get. The story is a two-hander between Hughes and Kaplan. No frills and depends on two stable performances from the leads. As easy as it’s. It’s a thinker and value chewing on lengthy after it’s over.
