I want to know the most disgusting thing you've ever seen on film but it mustn't be from a documentary (so no Faces Of Death, etc.).
It has to be from a feature film or a short, mainstream or indie, doesn't matter.

I'm volunteering the fire extinguisher/thug's face interface from the Frog film 'Irreversible'.
For those who've never seen it and are able to, I challenge you to find a sicker bit of movie footage.

I hope this thread will do well, as it will be interesting to see where peoples tolerances lay.

And remember chaps, there are no wrong answers here-- if Daddy Day Care makes you feel sick (does me for different reasons) then go ahead and put it down.
You wont be mocked for your choices. (Yeah, right...!)

Have fun!

Men behind the Sun
As World War II draws to a close, Japanese army officers are cooking up biological weapons to deploy as a last-ditch effort. They test their prototypes on Chinese and Russian war prisoners at an underground facility called Squadron 731, conducting horrific experiments. A gory Chinese polemic, considered a cult classic for its sheer shock value.

"The Most Offensive Film"

Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will"
G-rated, but try mentioning to anyone that you have watched this film and thought it was quite good.

In terms of offensive gore....

"Ironman" by Shinya Tsukamoto. Well actually it's not offensive gore, but offensive.

Come to think of it, I give up.

the film that offended me the most was troy.utter utter shite.

Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will"
G-rated, but try mentioning to anyone that you have watched this film and thought it was quite good.

Nonsense, I quite liked it too.

Well you're not just anyone. Here in the 'States you must explain the film, and then deal with accusations of "omg! wtf! Nazi!!!1!"

By that time they're either posing as someone who thinks that the Nazis were cool or splattering platitudes about respect and tolerant diverse diversity.

But I very much liked it, the imagery was amazing - the way Leni symbolizes the man vs. the crowd, then the man leading the crowd, the two in symbiosis, the Christian vs. the Pagan, the melding of those two thought-currents.

It's probably available online for free download. I rented it from a video store in my town, returned it, and when I decided to watch it a year later they didn't have it. Turns out someone vandalized it.

John Milius, of Conan the Barbarian, Apocalypse Now and Big Wednesday, said it was one of his five influential films.

Final Destination 2 - the whole movie. Unabashed, completely gratuitious gore.
Jacob's Ladder - The guy in the basement that twitches. It still haunts me.
Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox - Mentally scarring... be warned.

I was offended -in a good way- by Hannibal. Specifically the climax, when Hopkins removes the crown off of his victim and feeds him a portion of his own brain with clarice sitting right there, drugged out of her mind. So many emotions were pouring through me it was like a shot of heroin (..not that I've ever had any..)

Final Destination 2 definitely, then all of the Rugrats movies (specific reasons) don't care if u ask, just don't expect an answer

Final Destination 2?? C'mon, the film is kitten sneeze compared to some others out there. The gore there was pointless and even funny, but certainly not offensive to ones mentality.

The Japanese movie- "Audition". There was one scene so horrific I had to stop watching, and I ordinarily like strange and bizzare movies. The woman actress, a gothic looking skinny girl who wins this audition turns up at the director's place, where he just drank a potion she put in his tea or something, rendering him immobile, but able to feel. Then she pulls out a set of 10" steel needles... and I can't describe the rest.

basic (f*****g) instinct. Dumb A** story.

Halloween Three....
damn movies with not-michael myers and his slashing....
mmmrrrggg!

Kazaam. Oh Lord, that was such an offensively bad movie.

"Passion of the Christ." Stupid me decides to get nachos---bad idea.

"Requiem for a Dream" when Ellen Burstyn's character is getting fed on the stretcher. Something about mashed up food and people spitting it out that makes me nauseous.

I think this film (http://www.thorrific.com/christianpiratepussies.htm) is pretty offensive.

Don't know about it being the worst in history, though.

Sitting through the Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez disaster known as "Gili" was fairly horrific-considering I got paid to sit through that crap-I still wanted the two hours of life I wasted back.

As for gore, the opening dance scene of "Ghost Ship" where the ships passengers and crew are sliced in half by a wire.
Also "13 Ghosts" when the lawyer gets split in half by a glass door.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

Viiiile

To me, well, Irreversible, yeah, kinda over...

you du realise this kinda proves your sad?? :m:

i cant think of any offensive movies, but those are certainly the most gory

ooh wait, most shocking by way of completely fabricating stories: FOX

Kill Bill Volume Whatever - Gross Me Out Man :(

I was watching some disturbing film last night called "may". Man. Pretty gross.

Reighnstorm, wtf?
KillBill movies were awesome!
ive never met someonw before who didnt like the slash-em-all plot and effects of the movie.
it was kill-rific!
i am confused and disturbed now!
it is *spins around and points at some random person*.....your fault!

Kill Bill Volume Whatever - Gross Me Out Man :(
What?! :bugeye: :rolleyes: bah!

Caligula. It's old. But... ooouch my eyes hurt from remembering it.

Kill Bill Volume Whatever - Gross Me Out Man :(
they weren't offensive to me , they just sucked ass

Reighnstorm, wtf?
KillBill movies were awesome!
ive never met someonw before who didnt like the slash-em-all plot and effects of the movie.
it was kill-rific!
i am confused and disturbed now!
it is *spins around and points at some random person*.....your fault!

Haps, why are you haggling me dud ?? (LOL) The second release was great but the first was just out of this world gross man. :p

that's why they kicked so much ass!
just all the blood and gore! kicked ass man!
any movie with that much violence is at the top of my list of "all-time most kickass movie ever!!"

hmm... killbill stuff was all about honor and asskicking. stuff like that may movie was just farking DARK and twisted. movies about evil, that really get across kind of evil feel are far more disturbing that the video game "I killed all the aliens and got high score" type movie like killbill and such.

Hmm, I would say Kill Bill. If you ever wanted pointless gore, here it is! And, it's not even good gore. so fake it's not even funny. Especially at the end, when she's fighting all Japenese style with a huge sword. Pointless, terrible fighting, stupid form of death, whole nine yards. Just before that part is bad also(As in, poorly, poorly acted). The very first part, while she's in a coma, is SICK. I expected more out of Uma, she is a decent actor(especially in Paycheck).

The blood was supposed to be over the top. I hope you didnt think they were going for realism. Awesome movie in my opinion. I guess its just a love or hate movie.

The second Starship Troopers movie.
Good God there was a lot of blood and gore in that one.

It had an interesting plot, I give you that. They could have tried just a little more normalcy though. I mean, her just hopping in and slaying 1,000 chinese(or Japanese, I don't remembeR)body guards is ridiculous. The part when she was in a coma was unnecessary.

Why was the coma unnecessary?

Another one is Samhain. It was like kill bill with terrible acting.

I see nobody has mentioned faces of death... some gross shit that movie is.

I suggest you all go see Sin City. kill bill is like watching puppies compared to Sin City, which rules ass by the way.

p.s. kill bill sucked! why does everyone like those hokey unrealistic fight scenes? as someone who knows martial arts, I find it really hard to watch anything but Bruce lee movies. Bruce lee spent his entire life trying to stop movies where they have unrealistic fight scenes and people flying around on ropes. I don't think most people understood how big of a slap in the face Kill Bill was to Bruce lee. the yellow motorcycle suit she wears is from Game of Death (which they finished after Bruce died with stupid scenes that didn't make sense at all, therefore slap in the face #1). so not only do they go against everything Lee stood for, but they do a shitty job of "honoring" him by paying tribute to what was already a slap in Lee's face. They story was not good either, it was basically just a bunch of other movies put together poorly.

I want to know the most disgusting thing you've ever seen on film but it mustn't be from a documentary (so no Faces Of Death ( Xerxes, take note!!), etc.).
It has to be from a feature film or a short, mainstream or indie, doesn't matter.

I'm volunteering the fire extinguisher/thug's face interface from the Frog film 'Irreversible'.
For those who've never seen it and are able to, I challenge you to find a sicker bit of movie footage.

Interestingly, that movie is the one that first sprang to mind when I saw the thread title. I found the rape scene pretty offensive too. Did you only rent it for Ms Belluci too?

But... on reflection, I've seen worse.

There are some things beyond belief to be seen in the Something Weird (http://www.somethingweird.com) collection. I saw enough just on the sampler DVD (although the only one that I actually recall by title is Two Thousand Maniacs).

I also recall a clip (I think from StileProject.com) taken from a movie with a name long passed from my memory in which a charming young Japanese girl removes her eyeball with a knife and fork, then proceeds to use those utensils in the expected way.

But, even that doesn't compare with the wonders of the short animations of Happy Tree Friends (http://www.happytreefriend.com) which I find simultaneously both extremely offensive and reasonably funny... which is quite a disturbing combination!


Are there any Hentai fans in the audience? Surely there's something in that genre for this thread?

Peter Jackson's firts movie, 'Bad Taste'. Man, he wasn't kidding. How bizarre, how bizarre.

I wasn't offenced but the most disturbing part in any movie for me was Pet Sematary. The part where the late sister Zelda of Mrs. Creed, who's face and body was disfigured and screams out in evil pain.

Just thought of another few:
The knob cutting scene in 'I Spit On You Grave'.
Most of 'Braid Dead' (Pete Jackson's follow up to 'Bad Taste').
The autopsies in 'Day Of The Dead'.
The amputation of Miguel's infected arm in 'DOTD'.

And in response to Pete-- a friend lent me 'Irreversible' and I found the rape scene to be fucking full-on realistic. And strangely erotic...(what does that say about me?!!?)

Oh yeah, check out the potting shed/ arse-rape scene in 'Scum'. My mate says it's his most romantic cinema moment. But he's a sick fuck...

Charmed...

Con Air was pretty funny...
but the action was so fucked up near the end.
and cage's south'ron accent: unnatural...

How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Oh, bloody fuck, that movie was abhorrent.

Nobodies mentioned The Excorcist?

Loved the bit where the girl masturbates with a crucifix then gets her mother to lick her out then shouts something sexual like "shove it in your mouth bitch" or something to that effect.

One of the best scenes in hollywood!

The Lord of the Rings, but only the ones with the Hobbits in them, so whichever ones had hobbits are the ones that offended me.

I'd vote for "Dead Ringers", a Cronenberg film about twin surgeons that is particularly unsettling. In one scene, Jeremy Irons disembowels his twin brother. In the typically bizarre Cronenberg way, this film is weird while not gory, in the sense of blood and brains and body parts - but psychologically it is much more disturbing than the typical slasher film. So, in some ways I found this to be "offensive"...

"Shakes the Clown." Florence, how could you...?

Passion of the Christ

- Antisemitism ;)

The Reanimator

The Japanese movie- "Audition". There was one scene so horrific I had to stop watching, and I ordinarily like strange and bizzare movies.

please do!!!!!!!!!

Any movie based on an certain event of disaster such as Titanic or Peral Harbor....
War movies do not count, tho they tend to deipict war, they do not glorify on one certain event.

But alot of the new age comedys bug me... only an example, but alot of the black comedys now-a-days tend to turn the white people into the so called "evil characters" or even a movie like "Malibus most wanted".... a white dude who acts like the black person sterotype..... It is stuff like that that really bugs me.
As much as I like the movie "How High".. there is too many hidden and un-hidden stero-types in the movie...

Just junk like that.... it bugs me...

I am not racist, but a line has to be dawn..... for lack of a beter definition "us ""white people"" know what you ""black"" people have gone thur in the past. Stop rubbing it in our faces?"

So now... All these hip-hop and rap and/or hardcore rap artist are shelling out, what i personaly think for the most part is horrible music, and people are drawn to it like firggen flys. And if there was ever such a thing as a ""poser"", that little bugger Enimen is exaclty that.

Not that I am into the sort-of music, but what ever happened to artists like Ray Charles...

All this hiphop and rap is directed towards the younger generations.... no wonder they are so "popular"...

Never in my life have I hear someone who was 30 years old listen to rap or hiphop....

my brain is overloading... I am gonna shut up now.... I cannot even finish a decent sentance at this point.

Passion of the Christ

- Antisemitism ;)

What about the movie ever so called "Jesus Christ SuperStar"

I have yet to find myself an religios path, but the title of that movie is the most officence name for a """movie""" I have ever heard.

This is almost like a snuff movie...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042

Okay, i can beat any of (the above) anyday, 'Red Sonia', one of Arnold Schwarzeneggers first movies, totally and utterly crap, worth renting for the comedy value however!

As mentioned above, I also found passion of christ to be quite offensive.

Another pretty offensive movie was that crap-flick made by the guys from Cradle of Filth...what was it called again? Cradle of Fear? Anyway, pretty offensive in some ways (no, not the gore, killing and whatnot, that doesn't touch me), it was just so...gross.

Some people might find the TV series "The Quads" offensive....but I live it!!!!

I was insulted to have paid money to go see "Escape for LA" with Kurt Russell. The follower up to Escape from New York. TOTAL SHITE!

Hayden Christensen's acting in Star Wars. Was offensive and painful to all of one's senses.

Lately, Holiwood movies are all bad to me.... too much dramatized things, one for sure.

:p Final Destination 2?? C'mon, the film is kitten sneeze compared to some others out there. The gore there was pointless and even funny, but certainly not offensive to ones mentality.

damn straight hahahhaah kitten sneeze.... AHH! ILOVE IT!! :p :p

HOLLYWOOD have ran out of ideas for movies... seirously all they r doing now are making re-makes and sequals! DAMNIT WE SHOULD OF NEVER TRUSTED HOLLYWOOD<<soad>>

Ahh, c'mon dude, lighten up!
Not all sequels are dog-toffee. Look at the forthcoming Land Of The Dead (check out the trailers on imdb if you know little about it.)
And Speilberg's War Of The Worlds-- looks pretty fucking cool.
But I do see your point: where are the original ideas coming form Tinsletown these days?

Down with love-ewan mcgregor and renne zellweger, utter, utter fucking dog shite....

Shall We Dance?
Forced to watch it a couple of months ago on a flight to Thailand. (made me realise why the 9/11 blokes did what they did...)

war of the worlds is a re-make! HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! that made my day

haha, im still laughing... sorry

I am not racist, but

. . . bla bla bla as he continues with racist comment after racist comment.
There is nothing wrong with rap music, and the ideas the music an movies entertain.


Shall We Dance?

I saw the original Japanese version years and years ago, and it was really good. Never tried to watch the American abomination.

Nixon: "I wish these posts were about Offensive movies instead of bad ones."

Bubble Boy: "But unclegrandpa! that is what these posts are supposed to be about!"

Nixon: "Awha? That's what they're supposed to be about you say?"

Bubble Boy: "It's just that, while being confined to a bubble all of my life, I managed to learn the difference between the words 'offensive' and 'bad'--a rare feat to be sure"

Hamlet: "And nobody quite seems to know the difference between offensive and bad you say? Preposterous!"

:p still laughing at the charmer :p

hmm... killbill stuff was all about honor and asskicking. stuff like that may movie was just farking DARK and twisted. movies about evil, that really get across kind of evil feel are far more disturbing that the video game "I killed all the aliens and got high score" type movie like killbill and such.

"A Clockwork Orange" is about evil. Very disturbing, and offensive to people who don't get the point. And yet the same people aren't offended by violence-glorifying trash like "Natural Born Killer"!

:p still laughing at the charmer :p

Fuck off.
:p

Last House on the Left is a very disturbing and pointless horror film

the japanese guinee pig series especially flowers of flesh and blood. The cannibal Holocaust is disturbing because they kill real animals in the movie.

The "Bum Fights" series seems to be popular among my intellectually inferior peers. It's as offensive as it is stupid. Maybe I should videotape people taking a shit and make millions off of it. It would be more educational and entertaining than some fo the crap that is out there.

Cool Skill,
There is nothing wrong with rap music, and the ideas the music an movies entertain.

Just because your beloved [racial slur] like to glorify violence, unfettered greed and materialism, homophobia, and womanizing, don't make these things right!

I suggest you all go see Sin City. kill bill is like watching puppies compared to Sin City, which rules ass by the way.

They story was not good either, it was basically just a bunch of other movies put together poorly.Overall I like Kill Bill - at least most of Vol.1 apart from the stupid fight against the Crazy 88, and nearly all of Vol.2. But you make a very good point - BL would have hated the obvious wire work that is all the rage today, and QT should have known much better than to have "paid homage" in this way with what is pure hokum.

but charmer didn't you like the zombie sex scene in Braindead, and how about the rat monkey grandma in the end. That movie changed my life and made me appreciate true gore movies, not the crap like Final destination

WOW! The Devils Rejects was bad ass, that was the most sac-religious, goriest, twisted movie i have ever seen, and i cudnt of loved it more. if u have seen it, u no robs a fucking freak, so only he wud have the kind of mind to produce that. finally i see a good movie, and thats rare now ADAYS

Oh, nearly forgot - I already know what the most offensive film ever is: it's Pasolini's The 120 Days of Sodom. Inspired by De Sade, but actually an examination of Fascism, a group of young men and women are utterly degraded by the powerful and decadent local fiefdom. There's a shit-eating scene in it.

De Sade was a fucking nutter. He should've been killed in The Terror.

That film (can't remember the name) about those cannibals in Scotland in the 15th century, Sawney Bean and his family. Nasty stuff.

Red sonia...crap? how dare you.
Sin city was offensive, would anyone have gone to see it if they'd known beforehand it contained a plot about pediphilla (<spelling?) and lady beheading? shite, Hollywood and the media owes me.

sure I would
if you got offended by Sin City, then your place is in the old people's house

sure I would
if you got offended by Sin City, then your place is in the old people's house
I've only done 5 posts how can I go to the old persons house?
and besides you never picked on anyone who was offended by kill bill they puss clotts.
I was offended by sin city mostly for it being shit and a waste of time and the kiddy fiddeling stuff and the genral pointless slaughter of call girls how wern't you offended when you spent time to watch something that looked it was going to be a interesting approach on black and white film with bits of colour in it all arty and clever but then had to watch 2 hours of rancid shit piled thogether lightened only by frank millers quite good character studies?
Now I think I'll get my pipe and slippers. :m:

You sure do, you have no idea of what a comic is.

Has anyone mentioned Suicide club?

Ad for Rave:

EVEN MORE OFFENSIVE LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Cool Skill,


Just because your beloved [racial slur] like to glorify violence, unfettered greed and materialism, homophobia, and womanizing, don't make these things right!
Irrelevant. You're an ignorant racist. Therefore, your opinion about rap is purely subjective.

I don't know if it was the most offensive film ever, but it certainly was the worst film ever made. The movie is called:
ROBOT STORIES

This movie was Terrible with a capital T. It's amazing anybody could make such total garbage.

If you're talking offesive as in gore, I thought saw was pretty bad. Taht movie just plain scared me. :D I can't really think of a movie that offended me in terms of morals, or I thought they were being callous, or anything like that, though.

Sin city was offensive, would anyone have gone to see it if they'd known beforehand it contained a plot about pediphilla
I didn't see it. Mostly because I saw the previews and it looked just plain stupid, like one of the worst movies made in a long time.

"Saw" definatly..dam good movie but holy crap, what a good way to give screwy ppl ideas...
Well the most racist movie I've ever seen was Blazing Saddles, but its an "old" movie...was pretty funny though...the none racist parts, just so no one starts getting pissy.
and a movie thats so bad its offensive ..Encounters of the Third Kind, and Signs...two absolutly horrible movies, the former being worst.
I've only read A Clockwork Orange, but the movie is supposed to be pretty graphic...I think the movie would be difficult to really get without having read the book...otherwise you might get distracted.

Well the most racist movie I've ever seen was Blazing Saddles, but its an "old" movie...was pretty funny though...the none racist parts, just so no one starts getting pissy.
Oh yeah. I forgot about blazing saddles. Taht was one racist movie! But I wasn't offended by it. I don't know if that's because I'm white, or because it was in a commedy, so I gave it some leeway. And I thought the racist parts were pretty darned funny, though not the funniest parts.
I've only read A Clockwork Orange, but the movie is supposed to be pretty graphic...I think the movie would be difficult to really get without having read the book...otherwise you might get distracted.
I only saw the movie. I thought it dragged on and on, and wasn't very good, but maybe that's because I didn't read the book first.

Passion of the Christ was utterly absurd...I watched it with my significant other who is Christian...they cried and I just could not understand...I even got hit once. When the christ was impaled by the spear and blood GUSHED out of his side...I was like,"What the hell, is he hollow?" Ya, evidently that was not appreciated.

Event Horizon...I saw it in the theater. There were young children in as well...middle of the movie, kids were balling parents were covering their eyes...end of the movie, the theater was almost empty because so many people got up and left.

- KitNyx

I Spit on your Grave by Meir Zarchi was good

And Crossroads, which was offensive to the film industry for obvious reasons

If you ask me, Passion of the Christ's plot has been done one too many times.
If you get past the "z0mg, it's t3h J33zus!" part of it, you will find that the base plot is, "protagonist/hero dies for the greater good of humanity".
Who hasn't seem THAT done a thousand times? :p

Since someone brought up racism, "Episode One." probably the
most racist movie Ever. Not that I liked any of Star-Wars really,
but that one sucked royally.

I never saw "the Passion Of Christ," because every description of it
was, "It totally changed my life! I went in a Christian and came out,
a Christian!" Sounded like a waste of money. But anti-semitic? It
was a loose biography of a jew who was killed by Romans. I'd have
to see it to know what you're talking about, and I just can't bring
myself to do it. Life is too short for that crap.

And yes, Clockwork Orange made me sick to my stomach, for all the
right reasons.

Clockwork Orange made you sick?! :bugeye: :rolleyes:

1. Precisely what was racist about Episode 1? :confused:

2. I've never seen PotC either, but I've read stuff about it on wikipedia.

3. I've never seen clockwork orange, but I read the wikipedia article on it. Seems pretty interesting to me, I dunno what' so offensive about it. Sure, it's dystopic, and sure it's ridden with graphic violence and sex, but offensive? Nah.

1. Precisely what was racist about Episode 1?
Apparently some people who are way to sensitive felt that the Gungans "behaved too much like stereotyped Black Americans", and that those guys with the trade federation (Neimoidians I think..they were green, reminded me of frogs) behaved and resembled Orientals, and that Watto was a "cliche Greek/Turk/Jewish greaseball".

I've read this more then once in different places, but the current place I'm referencing is this:
http://www.ce-review.org/99/11/pinkava11.html

1. Precisely what was racist about Episode 1? :confused:
Come on.
The gungans speak like negro slaves, and are in a "symbiotic" relationship with their white master race. They need their masters because they are too stupid to look after themselves.
The Neimoidians (hope you're right, CFS) speak with a japanese accent, look like walking fish, and epitomise the WWII sterotypical Jap racism and dishonesty.

3. I've never seen clockwork orange, but I read the wikipedia article on it. Seems pretty interesting to me, I dunno what' so offensive about it. Sure, it's dystopic, and sure it's ridden with graphic violence and sex, but offensive? Nah.
It's got rape and murder and mind-control, some of the worst examples ever. It's a good movie, but if you're not numb, it hurts.
And to normal people, graphic violence and sex would be the definition of offensive.

"Riki-Oh: The Tale of Ricky." This movie is straight up awesome. It includes a huge guy named Tarzan clapping someone on the side of the head so that their head explodes like a melon. One guy in the movie disembowels himself so that he can strangle Ricky with his intestines. And Ricky himself gets the tendons in his arms severed by a knife and then TIES THEM BACK TOGETHER WITH HIS BARE HANDS. Must be seen to be believed.

This is almost like a snuff movie...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0296042

Yeah, Ichi the Killer is like some kind of weird porn.

I just watched the fire extuingisher bit from irreversible
its golden. the way he lays it into that rapists head.

huh. I just thought of the different aliens as....just different aliens.
*shrugs shoulders* :confused:

No amount of grit or gore in movies I've seen so far offends me. Really. I watched Night of the Living Dead on my 5th birthday in theatres and sat watched the whole thing. I guess the whole notion of its "not real" leaves me descensitized to it. Now pics from rotten or pornographic fantasy rape do offend me.

Movies that are offensive to me are like The Shape of Things, where an art student dates a nerd solely for her thesis, the creation of a human sculpture where love and sex changes a person and how she can manipulate him in to being her view of 'a better man', at the expense of using him and turning him against his friends, indead himself, only to ditch him when this thesis is complete. The movie is boring at first but the ending makes it all worthwhile (in a way) in its utter offensiveness at the very concept.

Oddly enough, I find some childrens movies offensive at some points because of what the media all too often teaches are children to value (like the hero myth my country holds so dear).

What's wrong with the hero myth?
The jounrey of the hero is a universal theme in all mythologies of the world.
It's an invard journey all people have to take if they want to grow out of their infantile consciousness.

Of course the problem nowadays is that media creates hero stories with no understanding of their meaning or purpose. Thus shit appears.

No amount of grit or gore in movies I've seen so far offends me. Really.

I suggest you see "Men Behind the Sun" then.
It's a disturbing film at the least.

Generally, the only movies I get offended by are the ones that are supposed to be inoffensive. Like "Gone With the Wind". That movie was repugnant in its depictions -- and I'm a racist!



Almost anything by Lucio Fulci is offensively bad - and hilarious!

From IMDB comments:

"What a heartless, indecent, and morally reprehensible sentiment. Just because someone is weak willed doesn't mean he deserves to be a puppet for Nietzsche’s and Pavlov's soulless love-child."

Now I have to see this movie. She sounds awesome.

To respond to the hero myth thing I'll have to summerize the years of ongoing conversations with my buddhist father about it. Yes, it is a common myth. But it really is not given much reference at all in the far east, whereas it is practically the only myth in the west we really, really like. Every, and I mean every, popular movie or novel in the west drives off of the hero myth. Think back to english class. There is a protagonist and an antagonist. Basic, right? That has hero myth written all over it. Frankly, I find the hero myth to be tired. I want to escape to different myths, where there is no person against odds overcoming them. How about a little change, like more tragety where the odds completely overcome the person, and the movie/novel ends? A progression, say, to a completely different myth, like the myth of Narcissus, where the character becomes blinded by individualism and eventually reaches a stagnant point in his life no one can get him to see. Sound familar? Happens all the time, more often here than a real hero graces us, so why no airplay on the self-centered pricks? Seriously, there needs to be novel novels and entertaining entertainment, and I think that means the hero myth needs to be taken down a notch.

I'll check that movie out. Disturbing can be a good thing.

Xev- Oh, to me it sums up the countless incidences where women try to change their man, really sick thinking if you ask me. I love the 'evil' twist to it. But like I said, its a slow start but believe me it will all come together and make a statement you will enjoy.

Without heroes it is the mankind that will sink in stagnation, not the myth.
And I don't mean the hollywood american version of it.
Buddhas themselves were heroes, so were bodishavas (sp) and the many characters in Indian vedas.
One has to go invards and be the hero overwhelming the legions of things that seem problems at first, problems of his culture, time, people. Only when he or she has gotten the prize, then (s)he can return something valuable back to humanity.

I think you have an overly simplistic understanding of what a mythic hero and his journey is.
One of the books I'd recommend to have a deeper understanding in this subject is the book by Joseph Campbell "Hero with a thousand faces"
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0691119244/qid=1125998855/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl/202-0616858-6444611
Synopsis
Joseph Campbell's classic cross-cultural study of the hero's journey has inspired millions and opened up new areas of research and exploration. Originally published in 1949 the book hit the New York Times Best-Seller List in 1988 when it became the subject of The Power of Myth, a PBS television special. Now, this legendary volume, re-released in honor of the 100th anniversary of the author's birth, promises to capture the imagination of a new generation of readers. The first popular work to combine the spiritual and psychological insights of modern psychoanalysis with the archetypes of world mythology, Campbell's book creates a road map for navigating the frustrating path of contemporary life. Examining heroic myths in the light of modern psychology, it considers not only the patterns and stages of mythology but also its relevance to our lives today - and to the life of any person seeking a fully realized existence. Myth, according to Campbell, is the projection of a culture's dreams onto a large screen; Campbell's book, like Star Wars, the film it helped inspire, is an exploration of the big-picture moments from the stage that is our world.

I believe you misunderstood me. Ok, I'm just talking about in novels and in movies, i.e., in entertainment, the hero myth is tired. In real life there are few and far between. I do not see either as a good thing. People like Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr. I have immense respect for, real heroes. What I was talking about was the focus on the hero myth in the entertainment industry is sad, other myths that are a part of us deserve some attention, too.

Has anyone watched Fudoh? Its a Japanese movie made by this crazy Japanese director who makes assassins out of five year olds, has a woman use her vaginal muscles to shoot darts, has bucketfuls of blood come out of those who get beheaded (happens constantly). There are many other equally ludicrous/savage/enjoyable moments in this family-oriented extravaganza.

Ok, so its not very offensive (well it is in some way, I guess, though not mine), but Hollywood couldn't make a movie like this one. No way.

Dark film, one I am happy not to go and see again. However I think it marked a mile stone in the student film market.

woHOOO good choice. i hafe a litle tale regarding it....i saw it when at art school in 19993/4.........the fashion at thay tme was rto laugh at it---remember pulp fiction etc. so i went wit two fellow art students. the a lot younger than me

so we begin watching it, and i am shocked, really. and i hear them and members of student audience guffawing.......it was all so fukin phony. i felt they werer pissed of withme case i wasn't following tem in their err'pleasure'

also another vile film i saw was Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer......and Th THeife, The Cook, The Son and Her Lover. sumthin like that.......there was a scene where two gangsters are forceing cardboard down their victimes throat with a spoon.ie., stuffing him whilst alive...all phlemgn and choking,,,it was fukin HORRIBLE

Sounds fuckin' awesome.

Requiem for a Dream - He injects heroin(close up) into an arm so infected, it's soon to be amputated
American History X - Guy gets curb stomped. Not graphic, but makes me shutter nonetheless.

Yes "Man bits Dog" was bill-ed as a comedy. however thats Ok if you can coldly look at people being killed before your eyes in a TV-Documentry style. Do you remember the old womens flat and how himself and the film crew turn up and keep filming as he kills her, film crew just keep filming, the entire film was sick, I think the idea was to make you think how far a TV crew would go to make a Documentry program (i.e. following a killer around, without stopping him) however the style of filming was to close to reality for humour to take a part, sick film.

Henry Portrait of a Serial killer, however is a sad film and a good one, it shows the sad side of life for some in the US, where I feel people can grow up in a personaly dad environment and just get lost in the system, with no one to care or notice, not until its to late anyway. Sad moving film reflecting a side of life we all would like to think do's not exist until the next Serial killer is found!

i think that the blair witch project was stu[id

The 120 Days of Sodom < Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma (1976) > ...

A pretty good nomination would be "Pink Flamingos", starring 'Divine'. If you havent seen it, .... perhaps you're lucky? Not violent, but really disgusting! The second time through was hillarious. The first was ... 'gross'!! *__-

About a contest for the 'most disgusting family of the year' award... '70s I think.

One of my friends went to see Passion of the Christ.

He said there was a part where it zoomed in on Jesus's face, and there was blood running down it. It reminded him of one of those "Is it in you?" Gatorade commercials, so he laughed.

Everyone stared at him.

THREADS
an english film made in 1984 about nuclear war and sheffield getting affected, there were no good guys, no bad guys, no happy ending.
Its grim as hell at the end and rather than ending with a glimmer of hope, it ends with the "everybodys fucked" feel.

Unlike other horror films, this could actually happen, there is no joking around in it, it is deadly serious.

It probably was not as horrible and gory as it could have been, but it made the point clear, was very gritty for the time and as far as i know it made the point clear enough that people commited suicide after watching it < dont quote me on that, it's just what i heard i've found no sources backing that up.

Oh that's priceless.

I have a similar story about Kill Bill. Prior to watching it, I had a little to smoke. :m:

You know in the first part of the movie where all you can hear is gasping, and you think that someone's having sex? Well the theatre I was at, everyone started giggling cause it sounded like someone was having a good time. Except me. I just didn't think it was funny at all. I was like "I don't get this."

And then the camera pans out and shows the bloodsoaked pregnant woman lying on the floor, struggling for breath. Everyone shuts up in a guilty silence. I burst out into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. The irony was too funny.

It was awkward. Trust me.

100 nights of Gomorra (i think is that the name). This is much more worst than the movies i´ve seen here, with some exceptions (some movies you speak about i never saw). Even Hannibal its not so bad like this. Read more

Its a movie about crazy rich nazis (in the 40-50s) that went into a village to bring with them teenagers (male and female). They put them in a big mansion and they live like slaves. They must eat shit and have sex with the nazi generals. There is an awful scene where you see a very big dinner and the food its the shit that everybody has make during the week!!! F***!

They torture the teens in the most horrible ways. Near the end you can see, for example, soldiers lauging and having fun while taking out the eye of a teen with a knife (you see the eye being taken!) or opening the head of a teen, and so on.

Its a very horrible italian movie (its somewhat old...maybe 20-30 years)

There are loads of Japanese films that are violent as hell, far more than any Western ones I can think of.

I'd recommend Verus (zombie action film - just gore), Audition (disturbing), Battle Royale (pure undilluted, gratuitous violence), and Ichii The Killer (bucket loads of gore and violence!)

Plus they'res always A Clockwork Orange and loads of the obligatory 80's zombie horror stuff, like Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombie Holocaust and some of George Romero's work too. Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses and it's recent sequel, The Devil's Rejects is also quite violent, but equally hysterical! The Evil Dead films are also great. Sin City is good, but like Kill Bill, it's all comic-book-esque violence.
