hey i’ll give it a watch, nice to see someone else actually offering spontaneous media recommendations on here ;)

that is my scene. very much so. I don’t really react that way to gore or jumpscare torture movies / guy dying in the wilderness of preventable injuries /etc lol, that’s why I was shocked. and, I mean, there was a lot of gore being shoved in my face in middle school, so I went years before the ukraine war without allowing myself to see anyone die. outside of police videos, and other things where we have a duty akin to a jury to review the footage as evidence. collateral murder. stuff like that. if you’re just watching someone get killed for entertainment, in my opinion you become a minor accomplice. I am un-desensitized to the extreme, but seeing a guy get decapitated didn’t make me feel decapitated. i didn’t retch seeing azovites boil a guy’s head.

it’s the atmosphere which made me present enough to go hurl. it’s the clarity with which it reveals the unseen facets of bourgeois domination we can intuit are there. maybe if I was more imaginative, or more sick, I could summon what the movie does in my mind’s eye. i’m just the type to look away, and the movie doesn’t allow that.
