Stu: "See, we ask you a question and if you get it wrong, BOOYAH! You die." Billy: "And if you get it right? You die!" AKA, the reason why you don't debate sealioning trolls online. They're Stu and Billy. They don't care if you know the answer; they just want to play the game.
Billy claims they had no motive for killing Sid's mother then SECONDS LATER goes into a misogynistic rant about how he did her a favour because she was a slutbag whore. THIS IS MEANT TO BE A META MOVIE AND YET I SWEAR CRAVEN DIDN'T REALISE THE IRONY. *MISOGYNY* IS THE MOTIVE.
LOVE your analysis! Just wanted to suggest on this point, whilst Williamson/Craven may not have understood the misogyny, with this moment they have some awareness of what they are doing. Watch Stu as Billy starts ranting, he's played as if this is all news to him. /1
I'd argue they are definitely aware of the fact that Billy claims not to have a motive, which Stu believes, and then showing actually Billy does have this rage and these issues. I don't think, as you say, they fully comprehend the societal forces and misogyny behind it though. /2
Agreed; I noticed that Billy's motive was a shock to Stu. But it still begs the question - - which nobody in the scene addresses - was Sid's mother raped? If so, was it Billy AND Stu, or just Billy? The sexual violence remains unaddressed, and that's crucial to me.
In the film itself, I'm not sure if it is satisfactory answered. I think the sequel implies she wasn't. I believe Cotton's story was that he and Sid's mother had consensual sex, and as he is shown to be innocent, the best Scream offers us is the suggestion his story was true?
This is the implication, but while that can serve as an answer to the *viewer*, I don't think it's one Sid would be happy with in the moment. She's just slept with Billy and he's deceived her - I think she'd be desperate to know which aspects of the story were true or false.
It's interesting isn't it, how at this stage the structure of the story, the twist of two killers, which we should not forget is a *HUGE* genre subversion at the time, and the 'tropes' of the writing take priority. Reminds me a little of some of Steven Moffat's writing where.. /1
...the construction of the story, the eagerness to show its own 'cleverness', somewhat supersedes the emotional reality of the situation... in both cases of the female leads. Not that they don't get to react strongly, but only to the big obvious (plot-based?) issues. /2
Hard agree on that comparison
