A WARNING TO THOSE WHO HAVENT SEEN IT

This has been mentioned by others on this page before, but I felt another voice needed to be added to this side of the argument for what is obviously, although somewhat surprisingly, a divisive film.

This film is VERY DISTURBING, and for some (myself included) you may wish you hadn't watched it. I'm not going to get into the argument of if this is a good or a bad film, or discuss the music, or the character development, or if this is art designed to make you think. I just want people to know before watching it that this film is dominated (almost exclusively) by scenes of misogyny, mental and physical torture, abuse and rape. This is the point I wish to make, and I'm not commenting on the merits of these scenes, just that they're the overarching theme. So if you don't wish to watch 2 hours of that kind of thing, then don't watch this film, like I said, I wish I hadn't.

And just to explain myself a little, I have no problem with horror, torture, gore, and most other staples of these kinds of films. But, and this is just a personal thing, the one thing that I can't watch is violence against women. It's not that I've ever had to deal with this in my life (I'm male, and had a fairly normal upbringing) but it's just something that's always made me sick to my stomach...I don't know why. And needless to say this movie made me feel the same way. So this is why I'm writing this. If you aren't prepared to watch a lot of degradation and violence against women, DON'T WATCH THIS FILM.
