She reciprocates, but when they exit, she disappears into the crowd. He masturbates in the bathroom at work. Brandon and his married boss David (James Badge Dale) hit on women at a club; later, Brandon has sex in a tunnel with the woman David was pursuing. Brandon arrives at his apartment to find his sister Sissy (Carey Mulligan), a singer, using his shower; he had ignored her calls. Sissy has a few gigs in the city and asks to stay with Brandon; he later hears her pleading with her lover on the telephone not to reject her. After Brandon's company's computer system is infected with a virus, his boss discovers that Brandon's computer hard drive was full of pornography. David assumes Brandon's intern is responsible. Brandon rebukes Sissy for balancing precariously on the subway platform edge. Later, he and David watch her perform "New York, New York" in a bar, which makes Brandon emotional. Sissy joins Brandon and David at their table, where David flirts with her and notices the scars of self-inflicted wounds on her arms. Sissy has sex with David in her brother's bedroom while Brandon, disgusted, goes running. Later that night, Sissy attempts to sleep in his bed with him; he orders her out of the room. Brandon goes on a date with his co-worker Marianne (Nicole Beharie); Marianne, recently separated, has a positive attitude toward commitment, while Brandon dislikes the idea of marriage and admits that his relationships have never lasted longer than four months. They go home separately. Later that night, Sissy discovers Brandon masturbating in his bathroom. He attacks her and accuses her of spying on him. She finds his laptop open on a pornographic webcam site. Brandon slams the laptop shut and a disturbed Sissy leaves. Brandon disposes of his pornography, sex toys and laptop. At work, he kisses Marianne and the two leave in their excitement; they begin sex, but Brandon cannot maintain an erection. It becomes apparent that Brandon cannot perform when emotions and affection are involved, but rather when he's feeding his sexual addiction. Immediately after Marianne leaves, Brandon is seen having aggressive sex with a sex worker against the window of the same hotel room. At home, Brandon tells Sissy that David has a family, and insists she leave. She says that they are family and are supposed to help each other, but Brandon accuses her of being needy and a burden. Brandon goes to a bar and gropes a woman; her boyfriend beats him. After Brandon is denied entrance to a nightclub, he goes to a gay bar across the street and is fellated by a man. After leaving, he listens to a voicemail message from Sissy telling him how much she needs him. Nearing the point of withdrawal, Brandon has three-way sex with two sex workers. While Brandon is riding the subway on his way home, the passengers are asked to leave the carriage due to a suicide. He frantically calls Sissy, but she does not answer. In the apartment, he finds Sissy is lying on the bathroom floor, having slashed her wrists. She survives and he comforts her in the hospital. After leaving, he collapses and cries in the rain. Some time later, Brandon is riding the subway. He glances up and sees an attractive woman. She is friendly and keeps staring at him and smiling. Brandon tries to look away, but she keeps looking and smiling, and she makes a subtle gesture with her head to indicate that she will get off at the next station. When she stands up and puts her hand on the pole, we see that she is wearing the same yellow gold wedding and engagement rings as the woman he flirted with at the start of the movie. Brandon does not stand up but he keeps looking in her direction. The scene fades to black before it is known if he accepts her offer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shame (2011 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
