While I can see the points "sallyforth-4" are making, I am tempted to say that there is one thing that's partly being ignored. It's a movie. Yes, if someone tried to kill themselves IRL, the right approach would probably not be first of all spank the living daylights out of them, and no, you probably wouldn't want a teacher or other more or less random individual to spank your kid to the point where they need two pillows to sit on at least 12 hours later. And I can follow the argument that scenes like that help establish it as a fact that it is OK for men to beat up women against their desire. But that being said, I also suspect that most people are quite able to differentiate between fiction like Blue Hawaii, 50 Shades of Grey etc., and then real life. No, a lot of stuff that happens in movies and other sources of entertainment shouldn't be tried out IRL, but that doesn't mean that it makes it less entertaining, perhaps precisely because it is a piece of fiction in which the given action actually works out positively, regardless of how it might otherwise work out IRL.
