Apparently neither has Subby. Bambi wasn't the one killed in the movie, fool.

Se7en better be on there.

Okay, I'm satisfied. The quick shot to the Polaroid of the sex vest that the guy was made to use on the hooker still sticks with me. Fincher did an amazing job with that movie. He barely showed any blood at all, instead letting your imagination run away with you. Brrr...

/Best line in the whole movie: Doctor in the hospital after they find the Sloth victim.

Pitt: "Can we talk to him?"
Doctor: "Even if his brain weren't mush...and it is...he chewed off his tongue long ago."

In my opinion, there are two incredibly effective ways of depicting violence on film.

The first is the subject of this article, implied violence. It forces the viewer to fill in the gaps with their own mind, allowing you to internalize the act and to personalize it.

The second is a long, uninteruppted unflinching shot of violence depicted in a realistic manner. A stationary camera forcing the viewer to see the horror unfolding in real time. Depending on what is taking place, you may not be able to even see everything. a decent example of this is in David Fincher's 'Zodiac'.

After the Zodiac killer has bound his two victims by the lake he proceeds to repeatedly stab the man while his girlfriend watches. You see the unbelieveable farking horror on her face. She knows she's next and yet she's hoping for something...anything to change her fate. Without the shot moving an inch, the killer is now on her stabbing her repeatedly in the back.

This isn't slasher movie stabbing. There is no metallic 'ting' when the knife is moving. It's very realistic and very disturbing.

You got what you deserved. *COUGH*

OMFG

I hated the sloth guy more than the rest of them.

Hammering a bullet into a guy's head?!

I'm gonna need to rent this 'Drive'

It was excellent, in my opinion. Lots of similarities to The Road Warrior.

/Nicolas Windin Refn can do no wrong, imo

Sweet, I was hoping one of ya'll would throw a quick "yay or nay" for me. Thanks! Definitely renting it then.

Worked so well, critics and audience members convinced themselves that they actually saw the guy get dismembered onscreen.

I can't believe this was omitted from the list.

Mr. death gets the jump on half a dozen folks without ever showing what really happened in that chess game. Bergman, you subtle bastard, I read your script!

Upset that he didn't get a mention......

DigitalCoffee: Not the best of movies but how can they leave out when Anakin goes back and slaughters all the wannabe Jedi kids?

It was handled so matter-of-factly too. "After you kill all of those children, pick up my dry cleaning, I'll be wearing black from now on. And I will also require a sixer of PBR, the Dark Side commands it. But the kids too, don't forget to kill the kids. Make it a 12 pack".

Sword of Doom.

Although a lot of the violence was shown, the conclusion of this film leaves the majority of the violence to be implied.

/ not fair, the gods should not allow directors to die after finishing the first film of a trilogy.
// although, not having a sequel to this movie actually makes it more thought provoking as a singular movie. Now you realize what it's all about, and the plot is not the source of the answer... there is no rosebud moment.

Rhypskallion: A few years ago, a coworker with small kids was shocked and surprised when the kids came crying to her about Bambi's mother. She had no idea that this Disney movie contained anything so traumatic. The kids cried for hours, and had trouble sleeping all week.


/cried when he was six in the theater seeing Bambi.
//prescreens everything for his kids

Hahaha reminds me of the Friends episode where Phoebe is talking about how wonderful all of the old Disney movies she used to watch with her mom were. Then everyone starts telling her how the movies actually went (her mom would fast forward through the Bambi's mom/dad scene, skip the end of Old Yeller, etc.). She then spent a whole weekend watching all of the movies in their entirety, and looked traumatized.
