The french movie "irreversible" a slap in the face with reality?
i watched the french movie called irreversible last night, not knowing what it was about, if i knew, i wouldnt of watched it.
with its reversed chronology, with the ending at the start of the film, its camera motion and music, it took me quite a while to figure out what the store was, but then i figured that the next scene would be what happened before the one we had just saw.
i felt like the two most powerful scene, the murder scene, and the truly disturbing rape scene, which i have to say will give me a sense of reality when it comes to just how violent and disturbing some acts can be, and that these acts are actually committed alot in reality, without a doubt, the most disturbing, yet realistic films ever i have watched.
what makes it disturbing is its reality kick, this stuff actually happens, and that is what frightened me to death the most.
has anybody seen this film, and what was your take on it?
serious answers only please
thanks
I had never heard of it until I was watching a Showtime special last year that had with four of the Masters of Horror directors sitting around discussing horror movies. One of them called the murder scene the most disturbing thing he'd ever seen on film so being the good little horror flick chick, I put it down on my Netflix list. I had checked out the movie at imdb.com before I got it just to see what it was about. Interesting that the director purposely put in the background noise at beginning designed to make people feel ill. Well, it worked. I got a terrible headache watching it. Whether it was due to the camera angles, the violence or the background noise, I don't know. It was brutal to say the least. I confess I did watch the murder scene twice though (on "mute" the second time) because I didn't know on the first viewing that the wrong guy had been killed. It made me even more sick to realize that the rapist was standing there watching his friend's skull getting bashed in and actually enjoying it.
I normally love horror movies but this one was just too much, most likely because, as you suggested, the scenes from this movie could really have happened.
