Looking at the movie being sober for a few years you dont realize how addiction can truly affect the people around you because you just want to get that high. I think this is a movie that should be shown in high schools because kids need to see the affect drugs has to themselves and the people they love.

  • @RReese08
    @RReese08 7 місяців тому +3

    Thanks for the great video and recommendations. I’m sure people with throw in their choices that you should’ve had, and here’s mine -
    With David Lynch, you could’ve put in his first feature film Eraserhead (1977) and/or Blue Velvet (1986) and you would not be wrong with either or both.
    Have to include David Cronenberg’s Dead Ringers (1988) and not much can beat it for being sick, twisted and disgusting body horror. Dead Ringers got turned into a TV series that streamed last year. I haven’t seen it, but I understand that it’s pretty good and doesn’t disappoint with the sick and messed up factor.
    You could’ve included Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange (1972) which totally outraged people back in the day with its depiction of violence, rape, and more violence. When I was just a kid in college, me and a bunch of other kids got to see a preview for Clockwork Orange in Hollywood and people in the audience lost their shit. Some even walked out. After the movie we had a sit down with a couple Hollywood old schoolers and they went completely nuts about how bad the movie was and that it was the end of Kubrick’s career in the movies. Of course everybody was wrong and it’s become a classic, even though it’s pretty crazy even by today’s movie standards.
    You could’ve included a French-Belgian movie called Man Bites Dog (1992). It’s about a hit man who’s followed by a documentary film crew, and there’s just about every insane, disgusting, nauseating and nasty thing that you can imagine that anybody would dare to put on film. This is one foreign film that I can guarantee that Hollywood will never, ever make, because it’s got stuff that will freak you out. It’s in all Black & White which may make it a little more palatable for some people. It’s also got English subtitles. It’s not the kind of movie you want to learn French with. Believe me.
    Finally, there’s 13 Tzameti (2005) which is another French language film made by young director Gela Babluani. This is a really sick, f-d up 95 minutes of just wild shit. It’s got a crazy story, a serious body count, and it’s also in B&W just to add to the overall grimness of things. Definitely not what you’d want to watch on a date night with Schindler’s List on the bill. Brad Pitt’s production company remade the movie with the original director in 2010, and the Hollywood influence completely ruined it. I don’t even know if Babluani is even making movies, because his experience with the Hollywood way of doing things had to really suck. Only place I know where to find 13 Tzameti is the used DVD market online, like eBay. It’s really worth watching. Just don’t watch it at night, if you’re depressed, or if you’ve spent all day drinking. It’s a great movie if you have the time, stomach and mental stability to watch it.

    Titane is the only one I haven’t seen - will check it out! Here are a few more recommendations for this video topic:
    * Inside.
    * Murder, Set, Pieces (awful movie, but still fits the bill).
    * Cannibal Holocaust.
    * August Underground (trilogy, avoid at all costs).
    * Salo (do NOT WATCH!).
    * Wolf Creek.
    * In A Violent Nature (new, recommended, has possibly my all time favorite death scene).
    * Audition (most of you have probably seen it already, but the scene where the guy eats vomit…. it’s actually real vomit).

    I loved how you didn’t just put the same old disturbing ones (I know a Serbian film is on here) but you kind of have too have it on. The new editions like kill list and requiem for a dream I wholeheartedly agree with those. The one I was surprised on was Mulholland Drive, it’s atmospheric and has that disturbing mental anguish you mentioned, but I honestly thought you were going to choose Wild at Heart. Either way, great list.

  • @erikcacciatore2152

    You covered the two that I had the toughest time with: Martyrs and A Serbian Film. I mentioned it elsewhere on UA-cam, but I got to a certain point in Martyrs and had a panic attack (I'm susceptible to those, so it wasn't a huge shock). A week later I resumed the movie and before long had another panic attack. After that I decided to just READ about how it ended! And, in retrospect, A Serbian Film was a cakewalk by comparison.

    • @creigcoogan5363
      @creigcoogan5363 7 місяців тому +2

      You are correct, Martyrs is deeply disturbing, but there’s something else going on that distinguishes it above a Serbian Film. There’s a troubling existential *theme* being presented that lingers with you long after the credits have rolled, longer even than those images of brutality. And that’s completely missing from a Serbian Film.

  • @sirenarussell9250
    @sirenarussell9250 7 місяців тому +1

    This is my kind of list, considering I've already seen 6/10 of these. I clicked because I recognized Irreversible and wanted to know the rest. I agree about Requiem for a Dream (although I would have put it at number 3) - I watched it shortly after it came out and it took 10 years before I was willing to watch it a second time. There will not be a third.
    Irreversible I would have put first. Every scene is one long take, no cuts, well done. The interesting thing about the order being backwards is you see a violent crime, then the crime that caused it (the rape), and then you see why it is so heartbreaking. Really sticks with you. You gotta be in a certain mood to watch that one.
    Midsommar is just completely brilliant. Everyone should watch it. I put off watching because I heard it was gory and I have to be in a certain mood for that. It wasn't! I regret not seeing it sooner! 10/10 will rewatch.

But then, the scene with the baby hit... I immediately stopped it, deleted it. That was the first time EVER, I thought to myself: "Yep. They went TOO far on that one." Anyway, I also saw Martyrs, yes GREAT movie. Disturbing for sure, but much more watchable than "A Serbian Movie". This was the 2nd video of yours that I've watched, I enjoy your work.

    I think the thing that made Funny Games distressing and disturbing for me when I first watched it was that "Remote" scene, my jaw legit dropped when that happened, but when I rewatched it recently, I actually thought it was a stroke of genius for metaphor that Psychopaths don't play by the rules of the world. Also, you should check Audition, Bedevilled (2010) and Man Bites Dog....and Vortex if you're a Noe fan, not really disturbing in the same sense that Irreversible or I Stand Alone is but if definitely leaves existentially crushed by its end.

It was a deeply disturbing film but so well made I simultaneously was pleased to have seen it and knew I'd never want to see it again; while Argrnto plays the world's worst mother, Peter Fonda and Ornella Muti play the world's worst grandparents...
