The Piano has been on my radar as a multi-award winning film I've never seen. Recently husband and I decided to watch it. After an hour I said, I don't think I can continue this - and husband said thank god as he was hating every minute. We stopped and I don't think I've ever done that before! I've always managed to see a film out till the end!
I'm shocked at how awful I found it given the high acclaim it had and was wondering if AIBU or can anyone explain what I'm missing?! (If it makes any difference I enjoy watching films of various genres so not easily shocked or anything!)
The storyline of the "piano lessons" made my skin crawl. I felt absolutely repulsed by that man exploiting her and essentially raping her in that way. Then I noticed that the storyline was veering towards her getting feelings for this man... why??? How??? At this point I couldn't watch. Not mention the young girl peeping through the walls. 
I read the rest of the synopsis on Wikipedia and I was right that she ends up falling in love with him. Why???!!!! FFS?? I'm shocked given this films amazing reception. Is it just dated? Am I missing something? Was anyone else repulsed??
