I do not like this movie because it shows rape.

12/30/2011 1:48:04 PM

just wanton cruelty and gore... but at the same time, not like your typical horror movie.

i just couldn't believe what i was seeing.

at the end though, just before the doctor/father microwaved his daughter's rapist's head, i thought he was going to slowly torture him to death, going by earlier cruelty in the movie.

^ in many ways, the rape scene was harder to stomach than the torture/gore/stabbings/shootings.

It's a behavioral commentary.

12/30/2011 2:01:36 PM

I haven't seen the new one but the original is pretty throughout. Just with early seventies (or was it 60's?) special effects.

12/30/2011 2:04:50 PM

The remake is "toned-down" compared to the original.


At least, that one scene is.

12/30/2011 2:13:52 PM

Oh great, the next movie on the same channel is

The Final

More gore and cruelty

I will be having awesome dreams tonight!


^ Didn't know there was an original. Might have to hunt it down.

more gore and cruelty:

12/30/2011 2:27:51 PM

Wait, you think the new version was fucked up? The old one was way worse

12/30/2011 2:36:51 PM

i haven't see the old one, just learnt now that an old one exists.

i have no way to compare. on its own, the one i saw was terrible. doesn't mean i can't imagine a movie depicting far more cruelty.

12/30/2011 2:41:37 PM

Old one is on Netflix instant btw.

Is it really more fucked up? I mean that scene is pretty messed up so I guess it could be. The gore/violence seemed not that turrible to me though.

12/30/2011 2:45:56 PM

If I recall correctly, that scene is more disconcerting.


It goes on longer, and has a more prominent emotional impact based on the acting / directing.





If the remake made you uncomfortable / horrified / disgusted / etc., then I wouldn't really recommend watching the original.

12/30/2011 2:49:58 PM

seen the old one, never bothered with the new one

I like wanton cruelty and torture though, you should check out the original I Spit on your Grave

12/30/2011 2:59:33 PM

I feel like I've seen that but what is it about?

12/30/2011 3:01:07 PM

chick gets gang rape din the woods and then exacts revenge on the rapists in ridiculously awesome cruel fashion



[Edited on December 30, 2011 at 3:06 PM. Reason : .]

12/30/2011 3:04:06 PM

So its like the same movie except its the victim not the family doing the Justicing.

That sounds like my kind of movie.

(favorite sub-genre is the revenge movie)

12/30/2011 3:05:20 PM

I too love revenge movies

12/30/2011 3:07:48 PM

Though neither of those made me as uncomfortable as the opening scenes from Mystic River.

12/30/2011 3:08:39 PM

Rape scene in Irreversible makes this scene look like something out of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood

12/30/2011 3:21:44 PM

I see where this thread is heading....


stepping away slowly

12/30/2011 3:34:06 PM

I've never been able to sit through irreversible

[Edited on December 30, 2011 at 3:36 PM. Reason : and I even made it through enter the void lol]

12/30/2011 3:36:19 PM

Quite the camera trickery on the fire extinguisher scene.

12/30/2011 5:38:39 PM

The fire extinguisher scene

One of those things you have to know about in order to know about.


Kind of like "ass-to-ass!"

12/30/2011 5:42:42 PM

what sthe fire extinguisher scene, I dont think I made it far enough into the movie for that

12/30/2011 6:07:12 PM

It's at the club.

Fairly early in the flick.

12/30/2011 6:07:41 PM

I may have to rewatch it then, subtitles make it tough to play on the internet so I usually dont follow along too well

12/30/2011 6:08:31 PM

nvm.

[Edited on December 30, 2011 at 6:11 PM. Reason : google it, if necessary.]

12/30/2011 6:09:59 PM

after reading this thread, I'm going to watch the original tonight

yay blood/guts/violence!!!

12/30/2011 6:10:59 PM

oh dur, I remember that

[Edited on December 30, 2011 at 6:12 PM. Reason : also noe's camera work makes me dizzy]

12/30/2011 6:11:03 PM

ok i am watching it again right now as i missed the first 40 or so minutes earlier today.

btw, before she ran off, she bashed the guy in the face with a rock. how come there were no visible injuries on his face when they got to the house just a bit later?

Continuity Error

12/30/2011 6:57:15 PM

What happened in the beginning of Mystic River? Haven't seen it in a while.

12/30/2011 7:08:12 PM

The "detective" takes one of the boys away for writing his name in wet cement.

12/30/2011 7:09:44 PM

hammer to the head

best scene i think

12/30/2011 7:22:48 PM

I watched the original and wasn't that . Seemed normal to me.

And LOL at Mr. Joshua.

But, seriously, somebody describe the horribleness so I can remember it and be disgusted and whatnot. As it is,

[Edited on December 30, 2011 at 7:35 PM. Reason : As it is, stopped posting.]

12/30/2011 7:35:26 PM

Ohhhhh yeah. I guess that is a bit of a plot point.

12/30/2011 7:41:19 PM

LOL, I was laughing at Mr. Joshua cause I thought Mystic Pizza, not Mystic River.

Whoops!

omly part that makes me cringe is when that chick bites that one dudes junk off

And I did.

Just woke up. I can clearly remember one dream where people were chasing me and my family, and even though I had a Lamborghini, I still couldn't get away. I got into the car with my family, pulled out of the parking, and faced a slightly uphill road. So I shifted from 2nd to 1st gear, but the Lambo still accelerated like a snail. I think the chasing by vehicle had to do with the 2nd movie below, which I also watched last night:

The Last House On The Left
Tomorrow, When The War Began

Can't remember what happened after I couldn't get away.
