Any of this on netflix?:patrice:


Nah. Do some leg work and read about this before you try and sit through 90 minutes of it, though. Folks being forced to eat feces, folks getting eyes and tongues cut out, grown men being forced to wear wedding dresses and engage in anal sex with men triple their age, and the most empty, hallow ending captured on cinema.


What has been seen...can't be unseen. :to:

your stars are but dust on my shoes
any film buffs want to explain to me why films like 120 Days of Sodom are defended or even praised?

legit curious, i've never done any film analysis or anything, but i understand that there has to be some sort of reasoning behind it, right?

I ain't never seen it so I can't say too much about it, but film buffs can often find things to appreciate besides the raw content. In the case of Sodom (and its original novel), it openly depicts sexual fetishes and fantasies we know exist, but prefer to leave in the dark, as well as being somewhat of a take on how the powerful will always abuse those without power to the extent that their power allows them (eg. power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely). The latter is also a bit of a theme in A Serbian Film (or at least was intended to). Whether you think that justifies the content or not is another discussion altogether.

Funny you say that. The only reason I peeped 120 days was because one of the chicks I mess with on campus is heavy into film - specifically horror. Wants to direct and produce, and does a lot of work behind and with the camera. She had the torrent on her laptop and I peeped it last night. She went on record saying that there was zero redeeming qualities about the film before I even watched it and that she never watched it again. You're hard pressed to find anyone who can legit defend some of this filth, but you do have your select few who think it's artistic. God only knows how or why, but it's totally subjective at the end of the day, I guess.

My interest has been piqued concerning 'A Serbian Film' now, but from what I've read, I think I'm going to pass. :patrice:

I've never seen that one but I watched a breakdown of A Serbian Film. I don't know why people were so disturbed by the film. It didn't bother me all that much. The trailer was far more interesting cause when it was recommended to me, I watched the trailer and then the only words after that were someone warning me saying "three words: newborn baby rape". And that scene was just fukking silly to me. Maybe if it hadn't been spoiled, I would've been more shocked. I was bored most of the time but this analysis gave me a better understanding of it at least.


And I haven't watched this one but I decided to do a search for the movie you mentioned

The movie gets praise because it's an "artistic" analogy of fascism, power, and consumerism... Where the rich authority figures (portrayed by the politcal leaders) control and dictate the lives of the powerless and poor civilians (portrayed by the kids).

I seen it once a long while ago.. didn't like it, but that's the point. you're not supposed to like it... it's an ugly picture of excess and greed.

I stopped watching shock movies years ago... Serbian Film was like the last "shock movie" that I seen. Movies are always wack IMO... I think a movie like Pans Labyrinth is far more effective in getting it's point across about fascism... that's just me. Some folks like that disturbing artsy sh-t....

I hadn't seen Pan's Labyrinth before last year. I went into it thinking it was a kids film :heh:. The farmer and the bottle scene had me like :merchant:

I thought it was a good movie but a bit overrated, as well.

Very disturbing. Not really something I want to be caught watching....

I actually have a copy of that Sodom shyt, but I never bothered watching it because it's not dubbed nor does it have any subtitles....
