Record number: 5954 Title: Quills (2000) Medium: Movie Actress: Kate Winslet, Diana Morrison Description: At the beginning of the film, Morrison, as a French noblewoman in one of the Marquis de Sade's stories, has her hands tied behind her with a leather thong as a prerequisite to being laid beneath the guillotine's blade, while the author (Geoffrey Rush) narrates off-camera. Then, at about an hour and 18 minutes, Madeleine (Winslet) is shown standing ungagged, tied by her outstretched wrists to a frame in the courtyard of the insane asylum where the Marquis is confined. Before a large crowd of onlookers, and as the asylum's superintendent (Michael Caine) and others look on approvingly from an upstairs window, she's whipped as punishment for smuggling de Sade's writings out of the institution. Madeleine is also hand-gagged several times during a struggle with a patient who attempts to rape her during a performance of a de Sade play about midway through the movie. On the DVD's commentary track, author Doug Wright, who wrote both the screenplay and the stage play upon which it was based, makes some rather interesting comments about the whipping scene. He notes that Winslet was wearing a plastic prosthetic back which was capable of raising welts and bleeding, but this effect was cut from the final release because it was considered too graphic. While assuring viewers that Winslet's back was protected during the whipping, he also points out, "Nevertheless, when it was over, she was wincing a bit from the pain." |

Record number: 21219 Title: Wrecked Medium: TV Series Actress: Jessica Lowe Description: Episode: "Javier and the Gang" (1.09) At 20min (including commercials) Florence (Jessica) and two guys find another castaway on the other side of the island. The other castaway (Eliza Coupe) has gone totally bonkers from the enforced solitude, and takes all three captive. They sit cross-legged on the ground, wrists tied in front of them, while Eliza argues with a coconut about what to do with them. The decision is to kill all three, so Eliza tosses a knife to the plant that she thinks is guarding the prisoners, and heads down to the beach to freshen up before the executions. The three prisoners use the knife to cut themselves free, and KO Eliza when she comes back. |
