please convince me to finish this film



Firstly, I'm a pretty open minded person, pretty much film literate and seen many different & difficult films. So please,no comments on the lines of ' go back and watch a Disney'. I watched, and appreciated 'Salo', (I won't say enjoy, no-one should 'enjoy' Salo}, and think I understood what it was trying to say and appreciated some of the imagery.
I'm about 40 mins into Taxidermia, and disliking it, and not getting any point to it. I'm already fast forwarding bits to 'get it over with'. I dislike giving up on films as I know several I've not liked, but stuck it out to find it worked at the end. But this film.. Perhaps I've already closed my mind to it, and can only see the grossness, not the finer points? I'm happy to listen.

Honestly I seen this film About two years ago, but first I randomly came across the trailer. I found it somewhat interesting looking. So after watching it my mind was in crazy mode. But the biggest thing is imagination, every part of the in saneness or the gore seems on purpose to fit the mood. Overall an interesting movie just to enjoy the narration of each characters movements and words and the ending alone will have you thinking what the hell??

Thank you for a good an inteligent answer. I appreciate you doing so..

I did finish the film, as, to be honest, I expected to.. It was pretty much a hypothetical question I guess...I think I just wanted to hear from someone else who had see it through to the end.

"A crazy journey" it certainly was. I cannot at all say I liked it, and certainly didn't understand the point of the grossness, but I still believe in trying to challange myself with things outside my comfort zone.

Sorry that I am just now seeing your response. The ironic thing to me about what you said is that you didn't like it. Ironic being is that I too have the same feelings of not liking but its almost pushing you to the point to not like it. But it pulls you in shows you a crash of depressing imagery. I would probably never watch this on my own for enjoyment but one thing is I will never forget it almost the same as Martyrs. Never have I watched a movie that made me so depressed that I needed a vicodin. But in the same reason for this I will never forget it.
