Similarities to Pasolini's "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975).


Did anyone happen to see at least some or other kind of similarities between this film, The Baby of Macon, and Pier Paolo Pasolini's most notorious and highly controversial movie "Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom" (1975), and even though this movie may be slightly more tastefully done, although it is still disturbing as all hell especially with that kind of ending that I wouldn't even wish a bad man let alone any woman would experience no matter really what he's done, it still has some similarities to it namely...

It shows how societies can operate at their most brutal, selfish, animalistic, uncaring and violent levels and especially how in certain time periods and with no proper laws and methods of both punishment and deterioration present, those types of awful things can go on a mass scale with practically no end to it to be seen in sight.

The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
