^Reading American Psycho is much more disturbing than watching the movie. The movie is actually kind of fun. I listened to it on audio book and have to wonder how many recordings it took for the voice actor to get through some of those passages about the rat ...
Banned in America, or murders suicides and middle east wackos. Not acting. Just hours of back to back snuff films.
A Serbian Film had its disturbing parts
While I kind of liked House of 1000 Corpses, and I loved The Devil's Rejects, the only thing that disturbed me about Halloween was how badly he butchered the original. Then I saw Halloween II and realized that Rob Zombie has lost his damn mind. That piece of shit made his first Halloween look like Citizen Kane in retrospect. Both were terrible movies, but Halloween 2 reached new levels of stupidity.aNY rOB zOMBIE MOVIE!!!!! - 1000 CORPSES, DEVILS REJECTS, HALLOWEEN!
I watch these movies, enhanced by sensitizing drugs, in order to confront my psyche with the difficult truths of human nature such that if I should be in a situation where I or others might act in these ways I would be prepared to both recognize and mitigate the situation -- but I'm sure there's also a degree of simply morbid curiosity at work as well. I also want to be able to draw out the dark side of myself so I can understand and, hopefully, control it. So for me it's, on the surface at least, about moral obligation, though I must admit I occasionally get a twisted thrill out of it."Come and See" looks pretty spectacular.
I'm in the camp that finds it difficult to be bothered by anything that's fiction.
Human Centipede, Hostel..... Bah.
What I've tried and cannot deal with is the real life stuff. I've been a victim of friends who a handful of times have called me over to, "look at this!" Suicides, executions, bombing aftermaths, etc. I've also sought out the shit a few times and regretted it each time.
I stay away now. Though the images are burned into my memory. I could give you nearly a second to second account of most the things I've seen.
My question would be, why is it that I can't deal with those images and others can? Who has the defect? Is it a defect or is it just a matter of what you can stomach? I'm just asking for opinion(s). I don't know. It's something I think about.
