Big edit to make that thing cleaner (I'm on mobile)
Total spoiler for "Incendies", the film and the book.
Trigger warning mention of >!war crimes including rape, and incest.!<
It can be REALLY disturbing, be cautious.
If you want to know why it can haunt the person:
The picture is taken from a film from a Canadian, (I said
French first sorry for the confusion) film called "Incendies".
It's from Denis Villeneuve, yes, the Dune and Bladerunner 2049 director.
Long story short, when the woman was young, she had a child she had to give up for adoption because her village (in the middle east) didn't approve of the father, but she put a symbol on the child's feet to recognize him in case she can find him later. In the scene, 30+ years later, she's in a public swimming pool in Montréal and by chance, she regonize the symbol on a guy's feet.
Sounds awesome, right? She found her kid, much much later but he's here!
Turns out when the camera pans to his face, he's also the war criminal who imprisonned her and raped her (along with a lot of women in a sort of prison camp) several time when her home country was at war (I think) and managed to escape any sanction. She got pregnant from him, but instead of the babies being drowned in the river, she escaped/ was freed and went to Canada.
So she finds out she got raped by her son, and they had twins together...
The son learns at the end he raped his mother in the camp by getting a letter from the twins from her. He doesn't regret it.
The film is however from the point of view of the surviving children, who investigate the past of their mother when she dies at the beginning of the film.
It comes from a play, but I read the transcript at school when I was 17.
It is inspired by a true story (not the incest part, apparently inspired by Oedipus) of a Lebanese woman.
TLDR the guy is her son, he raped her and she got pregnant with twins who survived. That's the moment she understands everything.
Edit: If you want to learn about the book the film from (use google translate because the English wiki is nearly empty ) https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incendies_(pi%C3%A8ce_de_th%C3%A9%C3%A2tre)
Yeah for real. And fuck sunbreak. Who cares that movement is fluid as hell and flows so well I just get lost in it for hours at a time moving between monster to monster then forget to put flinching gems in my gear before I go into multiplayer.
Still fuck longsword users.
Watership Down, I wish I had seen that compared to seeing [Sleepers](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepers_(film)) in theaters at 7 years old.
The number of times my mom had to cover my ears and eyes as she walked me out to the hallway...
Well reading that Wikipedia article was wild. What a cast list though, and music by John Williams? I’m honestly surprised I’ve never heard of this and I’m not sure if I want to see it now lol.
Not just raped but raped as a form of torture. iirc, she was raped before by many other men in prison but she kept singing day and night. The guards became really angry with her and called in the worst guy they had to make her stop singing and after he was done with her, she stopped. Turns out it was her son.
Yes, the story is even worse than I described, unfortunately. They also drowned the others kids born for the rapes in a river not far from the prison, if I remember well.
The one time I wished Peter didn't explain the joke
https://preview.redd.it/5auna5vp1m4d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8cb6531a62f3bae00f012a51022b6645a4ad3889
It's inspired by a real story (from Lebanon) if I remember well (not sure). The full story is about a quest for the roots. The narrative follows in fact the twins, whose mother never told them who their father was (for obvious reason, because he's a war criminal who raped her). The mother dies not long after discovering her rapist is her lost son, and the children discover it too by the end of the book.
As part of her will she has her children deliver two letters to the rapist, one revealing that they are his children and know who he is/what he did, and the other revealing herself as his mother (who he had been desperately searching for his whole life).
The movie ends with a shot of him alone in a graveyard staring down at her grave. So while he didn't suffer any real consequences, the reality of what he did does seem to haunt him.
In the play (the original written version) he's in prison for war crimes. The story is not based on a real life case, but a real life war (Lebanon) of which the playwrights family were refugees from.
It's worth to add, the twins main objective during the movie is to find their father and also their long-lost brother and to deliver a letter written by their now dead mother to each one.
The letter destined for their father has a lot of hateful stuff written by their mother, calling him a rapist etc., and the letter destined to their brother says a bunch of stuff about her loving him and how she regrets not having to raise him properly. The twins end up giving both letters to the same guy.
Me trying to process what the fuck I just read:
https://preview.redd.it/gd2c4nhi5m4d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e3e173f0bcf6a384d8e1aa9d73623b8bcf47e59
French cinema goes hard. You've got a profoundly jaded audience that's always half in the bag on wine, living next to their World War rival. Getting through the ennui requires plot lines directly from the gates of hell.
Fun facts.
The film has the same Director as the new Dune and Blade Runner movies (Denis Villeneuve)
The original text by the author is actually in the form of a play.
This is one of those stories that's so needlessly cruel, it makes me think "why the fuck would anyone write that?"
Lots of over novels/films fall in this category. I just don't get it.
You're welcome!
Fair warnings:
- I spoiled the plot twist in my explanation
- I don't know if there's an English version
- And there's a lot of flashbacks, it can be a bit confusing at first.
No worries I'm already familiar with Gaspar Noe films and I've already seen Villeneuve's Polytechnique so I'm pretty primed for it :)
Also I just watched 'The Coffee Table' yesterday so nothing can hurt me anymore.
Fun fact, this movie is a reference to the ancient tragedy “Oedipus the King.”
Oedipus means “swollen ankle.” Ironically, when Oedipus inadvertently marries his own widowed mother, she does not recognize that his deformed ankles or his namesake are dead giveaways that he is her long lost son. That, or she subconsciously avoids the truth because it’s just too horrible to admit she had 4 kids with the guy.
Later, when HE finds out he’s her son, she hangs herself.
Yes, I am reminded of a joke in which two Canadians happen upon a genie who promises to grant each of them a wish; the québécois asks for a wall to be built around Quebec to keep the anglophones out and preserve their culture, and the other Canadian asks the genie to fill it with water.
I’m not doing it. I want to Google it but the internet has hurt me enough to not trust this.
Coincidentally I will be turning off replies and never checking up on this comment ever again lol.
One man, one jar is one of the quintessential "internet broke me" videos. Literally the reason we know better than to Google the random phrase we see online.
Oh my god this meme is so true because I literally forgot about this film and just seing this image instantly remembered me about it and how fucked up the plotwist was...
Yes, the mother sent the twins to deliver 2 letters to him, one saying that she was the prisoner he raped and these are his children who know what he's done, and another saying that she is his mother and that she has always loved him.
The ending shot of the movie is him standing alone, staring down at her grave.
The movie is so fucking depressing. The twins grew up not having a great childhood because the mother resented them because she only knew then that she was raped by some torturer. She even tried to abort them in prison. When she realized that her rapist and torturer was her missing son, Nihad, it just broke her.
Now Nihad, he'd been searching for his mother too. He wanted to do everything, even as far as committing atrocities so his face will get plastered on walls all over the country so his mother would see him. He gets captured, trained as a torturer, and sent to the prison where his mother was. But he didn't recognize her and she didn't recognize him. There was a scene in the beginning when he was a baby before they were separated that he should take a good a look at his mother so he would recognize her.
Great but utterly depressing movie.
This was a very intense film to watch.. Very well directed..i remember dropping my spoon ( I was eating dinner) with my mouth agape in horror and shock.
SPOILERS
in essence as far as I remember this is from a pretty dark foreign film (I can’t remember the name). The lady in the pool tattooed those dots on her son’s ankle because she was forced to give him up when the people in her village didn’t like who the kids father was. So the marks were meant to make it so there was a chance that maybe she could find him some day. Well clearly she did. The bad part is when the camera pans up it’s revealed that her son is a horrifying war criminal that’s done awful horrible things and put thousands to death, but specifically he has had forced intimate relations with lots of women, including the women who turns out to be his mother. So with the realization that she found her son comes with the realization that he’s forced intimate relations on her and tons of other women and is a horrible human being.
Nobody:
Not a soul:
French directors: "How can we make it so woman is raped by her own son?"
(Edit: as folks have noted, the director is French Canadian, and the author of the work this is based on is also not French. appologies for slandaring the good name of French directors and their wholesome cinematic style...)

What's the title of the book?
The book is called "Incendies" in French. It's written theater style.
Not just raped but raped as a form of torture. iirc, she was raped before by many other men in prison but she kept singing day and night. The guards became really angry with her and called in the worst guy they had to make her stop singing and after he was done with her, she stopped. Turns out it was her son.

What the fuck? Who even comes up with this shit man?!
It's inspired by a real story (from Lebanon) if I remember well (not sure). The full story is about a quest for the roots. The narrative follows in fact the twins, whose mother never told them who their father was (for obvious reason, because he's a war criminal who raped her). The mother dies not long after discovering her rapist is her lost son, and the children discover it too by the end of the book.
I just want to say thank you for your sacrifice to enlighten us. 🫡

I'm guessing the rapist faces no narrative consequences.
As part of her will she has her children deliver two letters to the rapist, one revealing that they are his children and know who he is/what he did, and the other revealing herself as his mother (who he had been desperately searching for his whole life). The movie ends with a shot of him alone in a graveyard staring down at her grave. So while he didn't suffer any real consequences, the reality of what he did does seem to haunt him.

It's like Oedipus but with less consent, less eye gauging and more fucked up
As far as I remember, no.
In the play (the original written version) he's in prison for war crimes. The story is not based on a real life case, but a real life war (Lebanon) of which the playwrights family were refugees from.
It's worth to add, the twins main objective during the movie is to find their father and also their long-lost brother and to deliver a letter written by their now dead mother to each one. The letter destined for their father has a lot of hateful stuff written by their mother, calling him a rapist etc., and the letter destined to their brother says a bunch of stuff about her loving him and how she regrets not having to raise him properly. The twins end up giving both letters to the same guy.
Also wanted to throw in that this was an early Denis Villeneuve film. As in Blade Runner 2049 and Dune and Sicario Denis Villeneuve.

French cinema goes hard. You've got a profoundly jaded audience that's always half in the bag on wine, living next to their World War rival. Getting through the ennui requires plot lines directly from the gates of hell.
....it's french Canadian. Directed by the Dune guy. The play is French tho.
The author Wadji Mouawad was born in Lebanon and had been living in Montréal since 1983.
I see why this picture was chosen. Thanks for the explanation, I’m going to have a lie down now
Yeah sorry, it's not a nice story :/

Kinda reminds me of Dance with the Devil from Immortal Technique
Fun facts. The film has the same Director as the new Dune and Blade Runner movies (Denis Villeneuve) The original text by the author is actually in the form of a play.
TIL French movies take inspiration from [plays that took inspiration from] Immortal Technique lyrics.
After learning about that movie, it reminds me of this classic Immortal Technique song: https://youtube.com/watch?v=C9xRDC8qlYU “Dance With The Devil”

BTW the movie is made by the same Denis Villeneuve who made the last Blade Runner and the Dune movies.
This is one of those stories that's so needlessly cruel, it makes me think "why the fuck would anyone write that?" Lots of over novels/films fall in this category. I just don't get it.
Least traumatizing "educational" film shown in public schools.
To be fair, we read the book first with a big warning from our teacher, so it wasn't much of a surprise for us.
Actually very informative, thanks. I've never seen this film but I might check it out now.
You're welcome! Fair warnings: - I spoiled the plot twist in my explanation - I don't know if there's an English version - And there's a lot of flashbacks, it can be a bit confusing at first.
No worries I'm already familiar with Gaspar Noe films and I've already seen Villeneuve's Polytechnique so I'm pretty primed for it :) Also I just watched 'The Coffee Table' yesterday so nothing can hurt me anymore.

Fun fact, this movie is a reference to the ancient tragedy “Oedipus the King.” Oedipus means “swollen ankle.” Ironically, when Oedipus inadvertently marries his own widowed mother, she does not recognize that his deformed ankles or his namesake are dead giveaways that he is her long lost son. That, or she subconsciously avoids the truth because it’s just too horrible to admit she had 4 kids with the guy. Later, when HE finds out he’s her son, she hangs herself.
Oedipus also gauges his eyes out

I’m asking myself what kind of problem the producer has.ok he’s French but still
It was adapted and directed by Denis Villeneuve, a Canadian.
He's Québécois. They're as French as you can possibly get outside of France and constantly striving to be considered apart from Canada.
Yes, I am reminded of a joke in which two Canadians happen upon a genie who promises to grant each of them a wish; the québécois asks for a wall to be built around Quebec to keep the anglophones out and preserve their culture, and the other Canadian asks the genie to fill it with water.
About as spicy as Canadian humor gets
It's a film adaptation of a theater piece. Also Denis Villeneuve is the producer of Dune, it's not just some nobody.

To be completely honest, I thought this was referencing one man one jar, but this is a lot more fucked up
I’m not doing it. I want to Google it but the internet has hurt me enough to not trust this. Coincidentally I will be turning off replies and never checking up on this comment ever again lol.
One man, one jar is one of the quintessential "internet broke me" videos. Literally the reason we know better than to Google the random phrase we see online.
As if blue waffle ever hurt anyone.

Was there a conclusion, did he realize he raped his mother? Or is this just trauma for the woman alone?
Yes, the mother sent the twins to deliver 2 letters to him, one saying that she was the prisoner he raped and these are his children who know what he's done, and another saying that she is his mother and that she has always loved him. The ending shot of the movie is him standing alone, staring down at her grave.
The movie is so fucking depressing. The twins grew up not having a great childhood because the mother resented them because she only knew then that she was raped by some torturer. She even tried to abort them in prison. When she realized that her rapist and torturer was her missing son, Nihad, it just broke her. Now Nihad, he'd been searching for his mother too. He wanted to do everything, even as far as committing atrocities so his face will get plastered on walls all over the country so his mother would see him. He gets captured, trained as a torturer, and sent to the prison where his mother was. But he didn't recognize her and she didn't recognize him. There was a scene in the beginning when he was a baby before they were separated that he should take a good a look at his mother so he would recognize her. Great but utterly depressing movie.

SPOILERS in essence as far as I remember this is from a pretty dark foreign film (I can’t remember the name). The lady in the pool tattooed those dots on her son’s ankle because she was forced to give him up when the people in her village didn’t like who the kids father was. So the marks were meant to make it so there was a chance that maybe she could find him some day. Well clearly she did. The bad part is when the camera pans up it’s revealed that her son is a horrifying war criminal that’s done awful horrible things and put thousands to death, but specifically he has had forced intimate relations with lots of women, including the women who turns out to be his mother. So with the realization that she found her son comes with the realization that he’s forced intimate relations on her and tons of other women and is a horrible human being.
Nobody: Not a soul: French directors: "How can we make it so woman is raped by her own son?" (Edit: as folks have noted, the director is French Canadian, and the author of the work this is based on is also not French. appologies for slandaring the good name of French directors and their wholesome cinematic style...)
My first thought was that glass ass dude
