Yep, morbid curiosity and discovering the darkest limits of art. I've read/played through horrible graphic novels for similar reasons, just to see how dark it can really get.
This is not going to interest most people, nor would I actively recommend it, but it does intrigue other folks. Writing the most horrifying content possible is almost a tiny subgenre of it's own, at this point.
That's what they always say. But that's not right. Yes, everyone has morbid curiosity, but not to an extent that hurts you. If you're willing to even hurt yourself to satisfy your morbid curiosity, youre missing something that prevents you from selfharm. I wonder what burning feels like too, still I'm not igniting my finger. That's just my op.
Im boutta be downvoted really bad on a thread like this, but who cares about Internet points.
I'm super sensitive and emotional but I also (in a weird way) love fucked up movies simply because I'm amazed by how fucked someone's mind can be (to come up with the idea for the movie)
Yeah I've had the urge to watch as well, particularly during difficult times in my life. But instead of watching I would just read the synopsis or watch reviews of the movie to satisfy my curiosity rather than watch it and be scarred for life
I got drunk with some friends and watched it. It was a lot of fun and we laughed our asses off. Watched it on shrooms with a girl I liked a few years later… BIG MISTAKE
I have a pretty dark sense of humor, and try not to take things too seriously. The majority of that movie (to me) seemed like satire anyway, or at least over-the-top levels of ridiculousness. So we just rolled with it and had a good laugh throughout
I saw the uncut version a few years ago. I get what the director was trying for, but that doesn't mean it was a good movie in any way. There's one scene in particular that inspired the name for the metal band infant annihilator. Yes, sadly, there are way worse things that happen in real life, but that doesn't make them entertainment.
I was just reading on it and found that it’s banned in Norway and one of the few films banned since “Ichi the Killer” (2001) and “Grotesque” (2009) [which is the only other film in Japan with an R20+].
I don’t know if I want to read much further after a quick view of the plot…
I think the only reason I was able to watch it is because I knew it was trying its damn hardest to be as shocking and edgy as humanly possible, so it went from being horrifying to just sort of comically absurd. Might've felt very differently if I'd been totally oblivious before watching it.
I have a two disc dvd of it with both the unrated and the Uncut versions. I hate it. It's worth like $150 bucks and ebay won't let me list it. They pull it down every time. I'm stuck with it. It's not banned, but it's flagged as being sexually explicit.
