"A Serbian Film". So disturbing


..documentary?
It's an actual movie. It's about a washed up porn star who takes an offer to do porn, but he finds out that they want to do snuff and pedophilia. It's horrible.
Oh fuck dat..sounds about as fucked as it gets.. How these mofos get funding..


I have no idea lol but I found out about that film here on DXP from an old similar thread lol

The most depressing film I ever saw was Last Exit to Brooklyn. Not one redeeming character in the film, although you sympathize with the prostitute and the closeted gay guy.
Don't ya hate that? Like give me something..so I haven't just fucked myself over for the last two hours for nothing..

Yeah. I thought it was going to be a raw, 50's retro movie which was fine, but more along the lines of "Streetcar named Desire". But it was just "Mean People with No Hope or Direction".

I like your style ..gotta be three of my all time fave films right ther!

Forever strong..I shall check it out, don't tell me it's about the all blacks..??I should know about this..


It is not about NZ All Blacks, lol. The movies underlying theme is about Larry Gelwix, and the way in which he coached his teams, but it's not an 'in your face' theme, so it leaves a lot of room for less biography/documentary style content and feel.

The same way porn film companies get funding. Interested parties with lots of $ $ .

Tbh, Serbian film isn't for everyone. People who are used to Hollywood style horror/sci-fi/fantasy probably won't be able to sit through it. Hence why it's banned in a lot of countries.

What I liked about Serbian film was, the depiction of the dark and scary aspects of the porn industry and how sick humanity can really be.

Disturbing because it actually took place....and gives the audience a peek into the fragility of human nature.


Have you seen The men who stare at goats? Has mind control themes to it but more of a comedic approach.. It's about a guy who created 'the new earth army' aimed at bringing peace to the earth and its inhabitants.. He was even given military consent to implement this programme back in the 60's I think..

Disturbing: Off the top of my head I can think of 2 Leo films that disturbed me, or more were just very upsetting for me to watch..

Blood Diamond - I couldn't handle it when the RUF put guns in the childerns' hands and turned them on their parents.

The Revenant - When Tom Hardy killed his son.. that was as far as I could watch 😢



Inspirational:

White Fang (although this movie had some very sad and disturbing parts as well)



The Grey




shit yes..watched the revenant recently..first time I actually understood the power of bears..uggh..that scene fucked me up..??quite a dark film..came back from the dead..
