Saw Irreversible last night

[gherman]

It was a good movie but one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen.

I had mixed feelings on this film



When I walked out of the theater
I had a physical reaction to it.

First, it was difficult to "reconstruct" due to the backward telling of the story, much like the more popular "memento" which I found much easier to reconstruct.

Second, the violence, was palpable and left a sickening feeling, and the randomness of it all. too.

Third, Monica Belucci, is absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful in the movie.


I found it to be one of the 'most powerful" films I have ever watched,
but I am unable to recommend it,
I think it is not possible to watch without being "harmed" in some way.

with that said, I do not regret having viewed it.

My brother recomended it to me and the first 10 minutes of the film made me turn it off. I had to come back to it a little later to watch the rest of it. I couldn't handle it at first. The vivid sexuality, the violence and the camera work. Made me almost throw up.

with that said, do you regret having viewed it?




were you familair with the actress Monica Bellucci before?

 

[gherman]

No. I don't regret it. I like movies that shock and make you think. It wasn't boring... thats for sure. Yes I am familiar with her 'Matrix' she is so hot.
