Rod in Toronto Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The Antichrist, by Lars Von Trier. I watched it again a few months ago and had to fast forward a bunch of scenes.I didn't see it but I know of it. That's the one with Willem Defoe, right? I read somewhere that Eva Green wanted to play the female lead but basically her agents wouldn't allow it. I guess they thought it was too raw? That´s the one. The actress is Charlotte Gainsbourg, who is Lars Von Trier´s signature choice for a female leading role. This movie is quite impressive visually, and the story is quite good - it shows how feminism can turn into men hating quickly. But the way the director chose to tell this story is the most disturbing possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That director also did Nymphomaniac which I also skipped for the same reason. It has Dafoe and a ton of well known actors. Apparently, Shia LeBouf wanted to do his sex scenes for real. Why doesn't that surprise me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Smith Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I watched a documentary about a chilli eating competition the other day, the hotness of chilli's are measured in Schoville units. Perhaps we should have a measure of dullness and blandness in "Schofield" unitsScale of 1-10, yeah? I'd rate Matrix about a thousand Schofield units. Perhaps I was a little hard on Segue, I should not be too cruel, I think he is quite sensitive very like me ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workingcinderellaman Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Here's one that I usually have to walk away from or turn off for minute...I'm not watching it this time either... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t9x_y3vFic&t=86sIt's because he's using a bat. It makes it much more personal and brutal than using a gun. Bats are even more brutal than knives IMO. It takes a lot of effort to kill someone with a bat and so it takes more brutality. The scene I hate the most is the one from Walking Dead where Negan uses his barbed wire bat to kill Glen. http://www.wetpaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Negan-Raises-Lucille-in-The-Walking-Dead-Season-6-Finale.jpg I actually stopped watching the series because of this scene.

blueschica Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The scene near the end of Boyz In the Hood, where Ricky is walking in the alley, scratching off his lottery ticket. Very tough to see every time. I usually get a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesweetscience Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There were several scenes in Requiem for a Dream that I struggled to get through. Not just the subject matter but the way the movie was shot, the fast camera changes and the jerky nature of the camera work. The whole movie made me anxious and uncomfortable and at some points nauseated. Like what happens when you get motion sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Most of Chainsaw massacre. A scene that is especially hard to watch, is the one around the table, where the guy, who is around 160 years old, is attempting to use the hammer. I don't need to watch this again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Ned Beatty I don't think the director gave Ned the script for that particular scene. He just told Ned to go with whatever was happening. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I "liked" Segue's post based on Forest Gump - Shawshank was collateral damage .. As YourLion mentioned, the fire extinguisher scene in Irreversible was bad I'll also toss in the scene in Pan's Labyrinth in which Ofelia's stepfather kills the innocent father and son who were hunting rabbits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean "Leatherface"? Its camp horror gore and completely fake so it is palatable. There are so many tragic shit on the web that is real. Beheadings by terrorists, Mexican women being tied up and shot in the back of the head, people jumping off buildings or hanging themselves, videos of people being crushed by trucks, it is awful dude, but that is our world sadly. I suppose now I am a bit "desensitised" to this horror now as most of our younger generation are, I only wish that the poor souls did not suffer too long. :o :o :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The psychological connection with the characters, makes me feel more, in that scene I mentioned.When you have dialogue understanding and a rapport with the people in massacre, balanced with awful things that eventually happen, it's all the more painful for me. What I'm trying to say is, it reminds me of dinner with the inlaws Like pet detective 2 What a travesty of a film, now that is horrific. :D Edited March 22, 2017 by condemned2bfree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
