Midnight Express : The Masturbation Scene

The Masturbation Scene

Something about this scene always bothered me. When Susan went to the prison, she was braless. How many women would have been comfortable braless in a male prison, especially that one. Wouldn't the extra cover give you a little more security? The only reason I could see her doing this was if she had thoughts of doing what she did. Yet, she was shocked when Billy wanted her to take off her dress.

In the People vs. Larry Flynt, a jailed Larry pleasures himself when he sees Althea through the glass. You could sense the love between the two people and that she was happy to do this for him and cried at seeing her husband that way because that was all she could do for him. Susan seemed disgusted by it.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

It was 1978. Loads of women didn't wear bras then, especially if they were small busted like she was. She wasn't disgusted. She was upset she couldn't do more for him.

Do you think he wants some cheese?

Re: The Masturbation Scene

Didn't think she was small breasted to be honest, average i'd have said. Yeah she was sobbing because he was a broken down shell of a man who had transformed so completely that he barely spoke his own language anymore. I'd say that would upset anyone whose partner had turned into that, and he's also shameless enough to just openly masturbate at the mere sight of her breasts, a clear sign of his de-civilization(probably not a word).

Re: The Masturbation Scene

Shameless enough to masturbate at the sight of her breasts, thus de-civilizing him? What are you, some kind of over religious a s s h o l e ? He's a man she's a woman, end of story. Grow up.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

I don't think he is. I think he's a normal person with a normal reaction. If you think masturbating at the sight of a woman's breasts in a prison visiting room is normal and civilized, please do not live near me or my family. Good night.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

It's normal under the circumstances but not civilized. But then what was in that enivronment?

Re: The Masturbation Scene

She's a hippy girl and probably didn't have any bras - except for when she visited her grandparents or something... As for for visiting a guy stuck in a turkish prison and expecting him to spank it? I wouldn't think of that as job #1 and I wouldn't want to deal with a guy who did. Check please.

Just the fact that he was dumb enough to try and smuggle drugs from Turkey WHILE I WAS WITH HIM would be reason enough to write him off.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

No, it wasn't 1978. I think that scene was based on year 1974-1975.

Same difference. 1970's = megaboobs.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

The wife and I want to recreate this scene. Anybody know where I can get my hands on a used Turkish prison vistor's room?

Re: The Masturbation Scene

I've only ever seen refurbished Turkish visitors' rooms, and they cost almost as much as new. No warranty, either, so you'd be better off just getting a new one.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

You are probably right. But you know what will happen - everybody on the block will want a Turkish prison visitors' room. That (among other things) would sort of take the shine of the glass partition.

I have done business with them and they were very nice.

They are not in the US, so you will have to use Visa not Amex.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

Dammit, dead link - are you finished with yours yet?

Re: The Masturbation Scene

Hyeah, tell me about it. Walmart ate them. As for ours, we will be putting it on craigslist in 2017. They are fragile, so if you live within, oh, 70 miles, I'll drive it over to ya ...

Re: The Masturbation Scene

Small busted like her??? Oh god - if people consider her small, that means I don't have any at all :(

Re: The Masturbation Scene

I suppose you could post some pics and everybody could vote.....

Re: The Masturbation Scene

It's why the movie version of Billy declined the shower homosex opportunity: he was waiting for those glass partition boobs!

BTW: Both scenes made me laugh out loud in the theatre when I first saw the movie when I was very young. And now, very old, they still do. And in exactly the same way for exactly the same reasons.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

I always though that scene was just some sexist bull**** when I first saw the film on cable back in the '80's---I thought the filmmakers just wanted to use any excuse to show some naked breasts, that's all. Really unnecessary,and overwrought to begin with.

You've been hurt bad, haven't you?

Re: The Masturbation Scene

For 30 years I remember this scene, but never did I find it gratuitous, it is very tragic the shape he is in at this point. The crying and masturbation show how far he has fallen. This scene was very moving and tragic.

Re: The Masturbation Scene

I agree khamier- This was an incredibly powerful scene. I saw it back in the movie theater (second-run) around 1980. Aside from a few odd chuckles in the crowd, the auditorium was silent. The scene caught me off guard, and I sat there with my jaw on the ground. It really showed the mental damage Billy had endured, and the viewer is left wondering if he will ever be able to fully recover and return to a normal life.

Powerful scene.
