| District 9. Well done, but disturbing.

Was thinking the same. I vaguely remember it, but don't recall being put off by it. Think I even had bought the DVD at some point.

| Natural Born Killers. I so abhor the glamorization and bloodlust the media has for violence and death (Dirty Laundry), that the movie about the subject itself, repulses me. (and I typically enjoy such movies intent) Idiocracy. Could not finish it. Same basic reason. Art too close to reality, and I get enough of that everyday.

Partial dichotomy
| A Clockwork Orange was pretty disturbing to me.

I agree with that one. I've only seen it once, and never want to see it again. Based on the synopsis of Pink Flamingos, I can tell that would be another. So I'll save myself the trouble of even seeing it the one time. quote: On The Beach

Coincidentally they're both David Cronenberg films. That dude is whack. WTF. If you can watch those and not cringe, you ain't right.
Guess I ain't right. Those two are a couple of my go-to's when I want extra weirdness. District 9 I enjoyed, but it had a couple of moments that hit me in the feels enough to keep me from watching it again. For me, it's more a matter of emotional overload that keeps me from re-watching. Example: Saving Private Ryan. I saw in the theater, and have only caught glimpse while channel surfing since. I felt it was good for me to watch it...once. Now then, the same guy that did District 9 also did Chappie, and that was too much for me in a certain spot so I quit watching it and wouldn't recommend it. |

I understand that. I have seen Private Ryan twice, but it's been years and I have no desire to see it again. You can watch the two films I mentioned in the OP without making a face? You should be studied... for science or something. |
