You don't like it or appreciate it on some level, so anyone who does has something wrong with their brain. I mean absolutely fair enough if it's not for you, but again essentially disparaging others who may differ isn't a good faith argument. That said I've read your posts before and overall respect your opinion on film so we leave it at that.
ya I probably went a little hyperbolic because I also have always enjoyed and respected your posts so I guess there is at least one person who enjoyed it and may not have anything wrong with their brain.
I would be very curious tho if we posted the wiki description of salo what the general reaction would be.
oh and fwiw the sex stuff was by far the least disturbing parts of the film imo.
oh also it's ironic as I recently found myself defending chuck berry and his love of eating fresh defecation so not sure why I get like this about the films.
I honestly think I just got so tilted reading pretentious blowhards talking about how deep and important the marquis de sade was and then doing the same with salo.
I never had a problem with gross out horror stuff before I just choose not to watch them but had 0 issues with ppl making them or other ppl watching them.
just something about watching nonstop rape and **** eating and then saying it's a super important and deep examination of society blah blah blah got me all riled up and I really don't know why.
if a buddy said they watched it and enjoyed it I would probably make fun of them for their horrible taste but in a friendly joking way and not really ever think about it again so I probably went a bit overboard generalizing the entire audience due to my annoyance of the critical community.
