i hear everybody on here talking about how the animal, baby, and hammer scene disturbed them to death
i wasn't shocked at all. I just saw it as more movie stuff
pehaps the cia has been making you push too many pencils.
shareYou know the animal stuff was real footage, right? I myself am desensitized (always have trouble spelling that, glad you did it right, haha), but the REAL footage is what bothers me. I know Cannibal Holocaust had real footage of animals being killed, but they were being killed for a purpose and not senselessly and evilly being tortured. I can understand the other stuff not really phasing you, especially if you watch a lot of violent films like I do, but I'm REALLY, REALLY surprised the animal scenes didn't bother you. Those weren't special effects and actors, those were real animals being tortured to death but the scum of the earth. That is just horrible! And real or fake baby death scenes will always bother me, no matter how desensitized I am, but I am a mother. I have never seen a real infant death scene and I hope to keep it that way. Honestly, I didn't even watch this film. I came across it on a TOP TEN HORROR MOVIES list!!! Seriously? 2.8 rating and it's on someone's top ten! BLAH! Never trusting that person again. I can't watch it because I read what the real footage shows and I couldn't handle it.
shareI was really confused by your post until I got to the
line: "Honestly, I didn't even watch this film".
And then I realized that you didn't have any clue what
you were talking about, but were just regurgitating
other peoples words.
And then you talk about not trusting someone who put
it on their top ten list, as if you are any different
for spewing out your unjustified condemnations.
This movie was indeed a piece of *beep* but in the
exact same way legally blond is a piece of *beep*
Bad writing, worse acting, predictable as a game of
"count to fifty".
Not in some mind bending, desensitizing, "too gruesome for human eyes",
type of way.
Making things seem taboo will only make them more appealing to your children.
Lol, your description of this movie is exactly why I didn't watch it. I did see the footage at the beginning, but that ended up just making me get involved with PETA and working at putting fur farms to an end. So it all worked out for good. I know see some gruesomeness can be used for good. I don't know if I can say the same about the Saw films...
You are right about making things taboo make them more appealing, not only to children but also to adults. But I'm not going to allow my children access to things just so they won't be as appealing, because there's some things I wouldn't ever want my kids or me to see! It's impossible to prevent it all, but I'm gonna try. My son won't be watching "Seed" anytime soon. Or "A Serbian Film" for that matter. He is one now, so right now that shouldn't be hard to prevent....
ive seen the animal scene so many times now its not shocking for me either anymore. overall seed was a good horror film with a few too many scenes shot in the dark. but max is a badass
shareI have seen Subconscious Cruelty (2000) yesterday. Compared to that this movie is a joke. You are not desensitized, its the Perpetually Outraged Culture that got louder.
