I enjoyed it but it wasn't that violent
Like everyone else said it was
War Surrounds MeAnd I Scream Her Name
The violence isn't the point of it, anyone who told you it was missed the point. It's a socio-cultural satire about teenage life. Violett, yes, but it's the character interaction and the playground politics that are the more important aspects.
I'm Addy. Just Addy. From God, to Kane, to Addy.
Yeah, I know. It was just literally everyone who saw this movie told me it was so gory and violent so I was expecting me to throw up or to gag or be disgusted or disturbed but nope. I enjoyed the movie not for the violence but for the story.
War Surrounds MeAnd I Scream Her Name
Glad to hear it. Even when this movie came out, back in 2000, it wasn't that bloody. By now it's practically tame. Much of the violence doesn't go beyond splashing some fake blood onto the actors' costumes in between shots. There's very little spectacle, which is exactly the point.
shareI'm glad you enjoyed it despite what people told you to expect. If all they could really tell you was that it was really violent and gory, then it sounds like the whole idea of the film just went way over their heads.
Take Nobu's death for instance, his collar explodes and blood goes everywhere, sure, it's a bit gory, but the horror of it is in the intensity of the scene, the build up/anticipation, the fact that it was 14 year old surrounded by his classmates, and that he dies right in front of his best friend and sprays blood all over him. Far from the most violent scene of all time, but the shock and intensity of that scene makes it more memorable than some random beheading or dismemberment in a slasher film.
True. Also these people told me that the kid's head gets exploded off woth the collar, not that it slit his neck. So they obviously exaggerrated the violence in their head.
