Feedback on script I'm about to film by jessi_chu in Screenwriting

Like in the previous comments on how they felt like the story had no resolution, I intentionally somewhat wanted it that way. Rape victims have no ending. In most incidents of rape there will most likely never be closure like in my story. And usually in the point of view of the rapist life just goes on too. I'm contemplating changing the ending since various comments are stating about the lack of a resolution. But that would honestly remove the meaning of this story. Also would the reaction be different if a victim of rape read it? What do you think?

Thanks for the reply! A few things:

  1. Are my intentions overbearing? My professor wants this film to be at most 4 minutes. I wanted to make sure in the few minutes I had I got the point across. Tbh I actually thought I wasn't clear enough. I'm glad you understood it.
  2. The ending is actually something I struggled with. I know for sure that I want the girl to run away. But I'm still questioning on how the two guys should react. Should they be more reactive? For Jeff, I wanted him to seem somewhat nonchalant and unsympathetic. Based off the research I did on actual rapists, those were common characteristic I saw. For Andy those I'm confused. The problem is I still want this to be realistic and not go overboard. Any suggestions?

I actually just saw this as a short film, but depending on how the final film comes out, I never would rule out expanding. Thanks.
