What's the most shocking thing you've ever seen in a movie?

[Cassius]

I think that films nowadays tend to purposely overdo themselves on violence and gore, and that audiences are becoming desensitized to it, but there's still some things that have shocked/disturbed me in movies:

1.) The rape scene in "Deliverance". This was the first male rape I'd ever seen in a movie, and the sense of helplessness and overall humiliation and degregation of Ned Beatty's character made the scene scary, even though you don't actually see the rape.

2.) The montage of footage of the war in "Farenheit 9/11". You don't really realize how real the war is until you see the small children that have been victims of this violence.

3.) The eye ball-gouging scene in "Zombi". It's very uncomftorable to watch, and it's very, very, very slow.

4.) The shit-eating scene in "Pink Flamingos". A man dressed up as a woman, eating dog shit off of the sidewalk; need I say more?

5.) The monkey-brain eating scene in "Faces of Death". I saw it when I was about five, and thought it was real. Fortunately, contrary to popular belief, it was not.

And you?

Few months before my third birthday my mother fell ill and I was sent to my aunt's for about six months.
One day one of my cousins said we're going to watch Mini Goddilla film.
There used to be a cinema next to a department store, I saw a poster at the entrance and went in without paying.
However, they weren't showing kiddy films (it was scheduled in few weeks later) I accidentally saw one of the domestic exploitation movies which I vaguely remember that some dirty lords and swards men strip and torture women.

I think that those things are worse when you're little, 'cause you don't really know what's going on.

I forgot about "Salo". Thankfully I haven't seen the whole thing.

Ahhh, Japan.

I'm still freaked out by the end of Kids, when one of the boys essentially rapes a passed-out girl who just found out that she was HIV positive. The movie was supposed to depict young teens, and it's deeply disturbing.

Silence of the Lambs also never fails to shock, even after seeing it about 50 times.

I used to watch "The Silence of the Lambs" every night I went to be when I was sixteen. I used to have a HUGE crush on Hannibal Lecter.

Oh, is that the one that is nine minutes long? I heard that it was awful, lots of people walked out on it. Isn't there also a scene where a man gets his face crushed by a fire extenguisher?

 

[mar2d2]

[the more you explore me!]

Alien (chest burst scene).


The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) Re-Release Trailer... generally the whole of this film.


Dawn of the Dead Trailer... original, remember seeing this trailer on tv when very little, or a very short version of this one; especially when you have a point of view short of the zombies entering the lift....kind of freaked me out. Now one of my favourite films.


Come and See: Trailer . "A boy is unwillingly thrust into the atrocities of war in WWII Byelorussia, fighting for a hopelessly unequipped resistance movement against the ruthless German forces. Witnessing scenes of abject terror and accidentally surviving horrifying situations he loses his innocence and then his mind."


I Spit On Your Grave trailer....not a very nice film.
