I always found it strange it like the BBFC decided that these films were so good that we should make sure the film is seen by everyone. All films loved by most and yet despite the fact their is death, blood, severed arms (see Ep 4) and various other things, these films are rated "U".
I turn your attention to the Original Star Wars Trilogy. As Sam Raimi first Spider-man film instigated the BBFC to change their rating system and create a 12A certificate based on the popularity of the film it thought i would put this question to the group and DR Kermodeĭid anyone else think that the BBFC tend to ignor its own rating system when it comes to good films? (of course in the eyes of DR K the definition of a good or popular film may be different). Theirs been a lot of discussion on this board about the BBFC classification with films and how their views have changed.
It's just a nightclub.Īm thrilled you liked Drag me To Hell, I am a huge Sam Raimi fan and am glad to see he is getting back to his roots. Now THAT could be argued as manipulative. If anything the first attack remains the more painful, due to the low-frequency soundtrack inducing a physical reaction. The nightclub attack is made particularly primal (even compared to the rape) a pack of sweating men forming a circle around two alpha-males as they fight it out, on breaking the head of another.a la.2001. I'm as repulsed by both incidences equally so on further viewings I think the point is not to answer any moral questions, but simply raise them for the audience.
Your response to the rape scene 'excusing' the S&M attack is purely your response, whilst mine (for example) is that the film's structure makes it far more about remembering what's been lost than torturing oneself avenging its destruction. Firstly, I do agree that Rambo is a vile film, truly disgusting in its intentions (moreso since hearing that in order to form a plot, Stallone phoned Soldier Of Fortune, asked for the most dangerous place in the world, then made Rambo KILL THE HELL OUT OF IT).īut Irreversible is totally different, and not there to manipulate an audience in the same sense (if at all, 'manipulate's a horrible word for it). The point you've raised is 100% speculative.
