Yea, I didn't mind when he shot Elmer in the face, or hung an innocent boy in his jail cell.
I didn't even mind when he was sexually abused by the baby sitter in his adolescence. But seeing those women beaten just broke my heart.

I was beyond disturbed but Amy's scene when esp. she peed on herself made me feel much worse the entire day.. I wonder if the scenes in the novel are just as violent? Hmm..

I've seen a lot of violence in movies, but that beating scene is high up on my list of most disturbing scenes ever. The fact that it was a woman was bad in itself, but just the brutality of it was extreme. People say the beating in Casino was disturbing, but that was nothing compared to this. Another very realistic brutal beating scene was in Killing Them Softly.
No expectations, no disappointments.
Irreversible has a beating scene so horrific, I've never re-watched the movie. Without getting into specifics, it involves a fire extinguisher and it pretty much unfolds as you would expect.
The whole movie is profoundly hard to watch... you really want to take a shower afterward.
Yeah I've seen that. That's probably the worst I've seen. A scene in The Counselor is probably equal to that though. If you've seen it, you'll know which one I mean.
share'Irreversible' is one VERY disturbing film. Personally ... I found the rape scene to be more disturbing than the fight scene with the fire extinguisher. Ultimately though, it's the difference between being run over by a bus or run over by a truck; they're both abominable...

The scenes of violence against both Joyce and Amy were very brutal and disturbing indeed. I felt especially bad for Amy when she was killed; that sequence was just so tragic and heartbreaking.

It was unbearable to watch. The women's beating ... and the whole movie as well.
shareBut let me guess, if it was a man that was beaten..no big deal? What a double standard. Why it matters so much that it was a woman that was beaten, I will never understand. Grow some balls. I am a woman and this bothered me none. It was a wonderful film that I think about often, and smile when I do. I loved it. How some people can be so overly sensitive..just don't get it.
shareAhhhh-you breath of fresh air you!😘
Agreed agreed agreed.
People are so sexist yeah?!
Its just a movie-no-one got hurt-they got paid very well for doing it-all the blood is theatrical blood-and they laughed between takes. Probably.
Thanks
Whether you're a man or woman is besides the point. The fact that violence like that had no impact on you is rather disturbing. What exactly about this film made you smile? It wasn't the worst film I've seen, but I didn't see it as being amusing.
shareWould you enjoy getting beaten like this, or do you just enjoy seeing others suffer?

yeah it's definitely hard to watch that's for sure.
are you going to bark all day little doggie,, or are you going to bite
Don't go to the movies then - simple advice, simple choice

I completely agree. I've seen all kinds of killing depicted in movies, and watching Jessica Alba's character being beaten was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. It was completely unnecessary to show it in that detail.
shareMW was just testing if you realised it was just a movie. After that he moved on to one of the best paranoid psycho-sexual thrillers made. Mothers and ghosts galore amid dream, nightmare and reality. De Palma and Hitchcock if not Frankenheimer can rest assured that cinema is not dead LOL.
