Had a discussion with a friend about this yesterday after we both FINALLY saw the entire film.
I think the film implies that rape( and probably drug use) was something that Noodles encountered and "came to terms with" while being in prison. He goes in as a teen and the implication is that he was sent away to a REAL prison because he killed 1 possibly 2 men.
Did anybody else get that impression?
My friend disagrees and he says that even before jail..a young Noodles had tried to force himself on the young prostitute character.
