I just saw "Cannibal Holocaust".....

So i remember reading about this movie in a thread a few weeks ago and I finally got the chance to watch it last night, and WOW was it stuffed up, I lliked the movie still but it was insanely brutal, I cant believe they could make movies that brutal back in 1979/80. Also I read up ad all animal deaths in the movie are real, which just adds to the notoriety of this movie.If you've seen this whats your opinion on it?

I thought it was an ok movie although it was qute violent

Yeah, it's one sick film. The turtle scene is the worst.sammyjenkis898

Yup.

That turtle scene was brutal.

It makes me feel good.

I will never look at Super Mario Bros the same way. :(

I need to get that movie from Netflix, I hear about it all the time.

This movie was pretty terrible. It went for all shock factor rather than substance.

I've seen bits and pieces. Wondering if I should see the whole thing.

Well I guess... I stick it in there with that other movie.. the one where people were eating poo.. that was terrible as well lol...

Sorry but its kinda kiddy, at least now that i saw Flower of Flesh and Blood at a friends yesterday.

Imagine every single gory internet video, now multiply it by 100. Its not even close.

I'm not alright with animal cruelty. That film is disgusting.

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"][QUOTE="DEVILinIRON"] From my understanding it's all just stock footage of animals fighting and killing each other. I don't remember ever hearing about the filmmakers themselves killing animals and getting it on film.DEVILinIRON

[QUOTE="DEVILinIRON"]

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] No, they kill animals on film.KHAndAnime

]Can someone fill us in on what these animal parts are?Pirate700

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a serious problem with the torture of animals.....more than humans in fact......not sure why....just animals get to me. Can't watch that. I had an extremely hard time watching that dairy farm beating video that was posted earlier....that was just simply cruel....punching goats in the head and what not. Rediculous.

Would it make you feel better if I said it could get much worse?

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"][QUOTE="DEVILinIRON"] Oh... I guess I didn't see that part. Gross...

[QUOTE="DEVILinIRON"][QUOTE="KHAndAnime"] Well, most people seem to pay attention when watching this movie. It's a good "horror" film and has a thoughtful theme to it. KHAndAnime

He might be referring to how the film shows humans and civilization as savages...

I've actually not seen the movie as of yet and I'm a little confused about just why the animal scenes are considered particularly "brutal" because they're real. From what I've read they are beheaded before being consumed or taken apart which sounds fairly humane as far as things go and I've seen similar things such as a real turtle being slaughtered and cooked in Itami's "Tampopo" or the ritualistic ox killing in "Apocalypse Now". Is there more to it than what I am reading or is this just a case of average people not having seen live animals get slaughtered before?

The theme was good but they could have done it without all that gore and violence, I can see why they did use a cannibal tribe, but the scenes weren't really necessary.
