Animal Movie Review & Analysis | Ranbir Kapoor | Bobby Deol | Sandeep Reddy Vanga 

Random teenagers of wattpad knows how to write "alpha male" ml without making them absolute misogynist but Bollywood directors doesn’t 🤌🤡

Showcasing a story about a flawed character is not an issue. We celebrated 'Joker' movie and it did explore a morally grey character. My issues were when I was sitting in the theatre, audiences laughed and hooted during scenes which were very questionable or downright evil. I think not even the director would have expected a cheer or laugh during those scenes, so these movies reflects more about us as a society and less about those who make them. 🙏

How ironic it is to see that during the release of Padmavat, people started outrage without even seeing the film claiming that the film portrays a fictional female character in a bad light. From beating up Bhansali, to destroying sets, issuing death threats to Deepika and citing violence, they've left no stone unturned. However for a movie like Animal which shows no respect towards real women, objectifies them, reduces them to their physical appearance or stereotypical roles, they are beaten up, treated as mere sex objects but why still I haven't seen any street protests yet. Have they accepted this portrayal of females as acceptable? Says a lot about our progress as a society.

i hope that if an actress stars in a film with a female lead character who is a psychopath, morally wrong, cheats on her husband, treats men around her badly then also people should say oh this is just a film, this is just art instead of saying - “this is what nowadays feminism is, this is how women are destroying indian culture” etc etc

I see so many comments about Sandeep Reddy Vanga's heroes having a "dark side" when the character is just toxic and misogynistic. There is nothing wrong with heroes and characters having a gray shade. But when those scenes are glorified in the movie, with a badass theme playing in the background when he/she does or says anything toxic, that is when it becomes a problem.

ranbir kapoor can have a separate universe for his daddy issues (ajab prem ki ghazab kahaani,jagga jasoos,yeh jawani hai deewani,animal,tamasha,sanju,shamshera,brahmastra,wake up sid)

Even with that little screen time, Bobby was able to leave a menacing and haunting impact on the audience... he deserved so much more...

Its not about the woke and matured public but about immature/influenceable audiences who will mimic the behaviour without doubt considering how heroic Ranbir is shown doing all wrong misogynistic stuff. Plus the director going out in public saying “if you cant hit your partner use cuss words for them , do you even love them?” Certified chauvinistic behaviour translating into his films.

Obviously if you add any jokes or dialogues attacking women that will be sold more in our country. While if any women director adds some dialogues attacking men in her film, she will be tagged fake feminist or woke. I agree with this fact even being a boy. Anyway it will be tough for Vanga to survive like this bcus in one point people will fed up.

Having problematic characters isn’t really the problem, but more so that they aren’t held accountable of their actions that are extremely problematic. Not seeing a character arc, and justifying this behavior is what makes it an issue. Technical aspects can be exemplary but does not hold up to the lack of story arcs. Gotta hand it to the actors tho!

It's not even messed up characters, problematic language, or women being portrayed in the movie, but how Sandeep Reddy failed as a Director, Writer and Editor, it was a complete mess, it didn't make sense, most parts it was like "It is what it is, deal with it". After his father gets shot, he goes to his hometown to demand help, his cousins tag along without a second thought and plead their loyalty to him... how does it make sense, when he has never seen these people all his life and is out of nowhere they are ready to die for him... how? Second: I could not understand why he loved his wife Geetanjali, or why she loved him back, there was zero chemistry, and explanation of why she endured the abuse in her relationship, also at certain points she seemed only sex crazy... The most illogical thing was him becoming a mafia-like gangster, hunting his enemy, killing them out of the blue, they did not show any criminal connections, he is in America, returns to India, goes on kill spear, gets connected with a gun supplier, how does that make sense, without prior showing any connection with the mafia world or criminal contacts. His friends were decent people, his in-laws were decent people, his dad was a businessman, and the in-laws from his sister's side were white-collar criminals, not getting their hands dirty directly. The story was messed up, the plot lost its purpose, and it was all a big mess. at points, it felt like Sandeep had written the script inspired by Andrew Tate's interviews.

A web series featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Randeep hooda and Shahid kapoor against villains like ranveer singh and bobby deol would be something no one have ever seen !

I don't know why, but I desperately want Sucharita Tyagi's take on this movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If violence is not supported by the emotions, then you just feel violence being showcased for the sake of it. The emotional outrage should be so extreme that the violence depicted feels natural.

I saw this movie, but somehow, I believe that SVR has some contradictory thoughts against women. Neither does it seem to be positive, and neither negative. For instance, in regards to Rashmika, she seems to like a toy for Ranbirs character, whereas in regards to his sister, it was different. The first half was awesome, but in the second half, there was something missing. Some may like it while some may not.

Jammy just spoke my mind. This was my exact analysis after I watched it. 1. The film would have benefitted from more screen time to anil Kapoor and Bobby deol. 2. The director being the editor also cost the film the run time. He was so indulgent that he kept everything he loved about the film. 3. Ranbir's character swings between progressive and regressive, though I must say it seemed very real. 4. Many scenes after the interval seemed unnecessary to the overall story. 5. The art and the artiste were perfect but it stopped being engaging post interval. However, last 45 mins were again Bang on. 6. It felt like the director loves his characters too much. Some justifications by the characters seemed like they were being justified to the audience. Also, felt like the director imagines himself in these alpha male roles and writes them as if he was that character. ❤ Jammy's analysis ❤

Besides all the talk about misogyny,i feel sandeep reddy vanga is a really disturbed person..His characters are giving us a hint of who he is..Troubled father son relations,a violent streak,all the talk and fascination about body parts,hateful attitude towards women..He is himself dealing witha lot of mental trauma and he is processing those through his movies..Years later,we r gonna hear some news about him nd then all his movies will make sense..

I went in the morning show, a jam-packed one and everyone lost it at "Arjan Vailley" before the interval. Real Goosebumps. One of the best intervals in recent times.

I think the Tripti Dimri thing was necessary to set up Animal Park. She was able to get “inside” info on Ranbir Kapoor for bobby deol’s brother.

I believe that the affair was out of place and was not necessary. You like the character for his loyalty to his partner and then goes on to do total tatti(shit) with the affair. I think that the battle sequence could've been shortened by 5-10minutes at least. Also, the way the character recovers from such a difficult and crucial surgery is just too much in my opinion!

There is a difference between repressiveness, regressiveness and misogyny.

Critics back in 2000s used to say "Why are heroes always Mr.Good with no dark shade?. However, movies like Kabir Singh, Animal & Tere Naam (back in the day) have made them do a complete flip! Now, criticism is "Why make heroes out of such bad characters? or "Heroes need to be socially responsible!"

There are two movies in animal. One is revenge saga which was pretty good. One is ranbir being an ass to his wife. It added nothing to movie, slowed the movie and robbed us more badassery. The second "movie" blindsided the director coz he wanted to show middle finger to critics and in doing so he cheapened the movie. Remove rashmika's whole character from movie and we get a better and more brutal movie. Such a waste.

That zoya sequence was so unnecessary & unconvincing.. cuz Ranvijay had one good quality that he was loyal to his wife 🙄 Dint understand who was the villain in the end..Abrar & Ranvijay are almost similar personalities 🤷‍♀️

I don’t want to put a spoiler here, but Vanga was right when he said don’t miss the first and the last scene… Did anyone notice where did the gesture Ranbir does in the first and last scene, originate from? I believe, Bobby’s family was successful in achieving their goal… and that is what the second part is going to be based upon… Ranbir was just fabulous, would have liked more of Bobby too… There were some extra cuts in the movie released outside India and it was such a bummer…

Ranbir never needed an Animal to be considered Greatest of his generation. But here we are 3hrs 21mints later with a GOAT status. Ranbir has touched the Sun here

The misogyny and adultery and alpha male themes start becoming problematic when they don't serve the story, which is already going elsewhere. I wish Sandeep kept control in the second half and went one by one.

For me, 2nd half stood authentic. The original sandeep reddy vanga film where he explores the interpersonal conflicts and rather than trying to solve them and preach them, he just shows the reality. Also i think the whole ranvijay's motive to kill bobby can be drawn from one dialogue of anil kapoor-"jab mujhe pehli goli lagi, tab teri aawaz sunayi dhi, or jab dhusri goli lagi mein akela tha. "Indicating the first attack and the second attack which has to be stopped by ranbir.

I am not sure what's the reason that an absolutely violent movie like Animal is more popular than a movie that inspires like Sam Bahadur. Have we as an audience started to enjoy unknowingly toxic masculinity or is it something even darker than that? Is there on some dark deep level, men are able to live that part of themselves through this kind of cinema? A movie like Gadar 2 which I felt was made money only through the nostalgia it created also portrayed a Tara Singh as the unbeatable macho almost a superhero. A Yash in KGF also generates hoots in theatre.. It's definitely an escapism but the question is WHY is this escapism needed? Why MEN when portrayed as these characters, these HERO who can never be defeated, make more buzz than more human male characters?

My friends and I were cringing so hard in the cheating sequences. The vanga dropped my fav song in the cheating sequence which broke my heart.

3 hours and 21 minutes of misogyny and sexism is too much. I am glad I opted out of watching this! lol.

Only thing that you missed in the review was the last scene (Animal Park) This is a very good movie which cl had the potential to be extremely good. Hope the director listens to creative criticism when he does Animal Park. Loved Bobby Deol and I think he might have some part to play in the sequel.

Ranbir's versatility should be talked enough from now, he'll never say never to any kind of script or role. Easily can say he's much ahead of other actors and he's undoubtedly the best actor in terms of acting skill of Bollywood 👑

A critic should always remember that there is a thin line in between a fan and a fanatic and never to cross that.

Sigma alpha theta beta males are in saathva aasman after watching this movie. They're celebrating as if they have won a personal war against feminists. Well I have seen many women liking this movie. On the contrary I have seen women and even more men disliking this movie. So all jokes on you if you only want to selectively celebrate😂. Sigma theta males are even abusing men who speak against this movie by calling them "low on testosterone". So according to them animal type males are high on testosterone and a real sigma. But I'm glad that RU-vid comments about this movie are still civil because on Instagram it's worse. Abusive sigma's are everywhere abusing people who dislike the movie.

As ss rajamouli said sandeep Reddy vanga is an ultra pro max version of RGV and rare combination of puri jagannath and RGV who has impacted film making in every aspect ❤

*long note alert* I utterly disliked the film. Don't get me wrong; I'm all for Ranbir’s violent mass avatar, but I felt his intentions weren't clear, and his character lacked depth, as did everybody else’s. Why did they have to justify him being the “animal” at the end by showing Anil finally validating Ranbir’s acts? Yes, he had been an absent father, but that doesn’t mean his son has to become an animal. He’s a psychopath and always has been. Why was Vanga trying so hard to make us root for him? In that final Diwali scene, Anil acknowledged that his son has always been a criminal who is just using his father’s name to justify his criminality. I think Vanga should have explored that ideology more. Anil should have kept his stance of not empathizing with Ranbir and seen criminality as criminality. With Ranbir not getting validation from his father at the end, surrendering to the destiny of his father losing his life because of cancer (to protect whom he became this animal) because nobody can fight destiny and his wife leaving him would have been the perfect end. What was all that “agla janam” nonsense? A criminal getting what he deserves. Also, it's not like Ranbir was any different than Anil as a father. He too doesn’t give enough time to his kids, keeps himself busy in this animal world. The only difference is he talks with his kids in a nicer way. I expected Vanga would show how Ranbir was different as a father after everything he has gone through as a kid. Also, why is Bobby’s character projected as a villain when he has similar intentions as Ranbir, both avenging the wrong for their respective families? Bobby’s intention seemed stronger to me as his family was denied their legit rights.

Exactly someone atleast notice sandeep wierd passion with biology

This has to be one of the best and most detailed review of this movie. Acknowledging the problematic scenes and behaviour of the character but also recognising the technical aspects of the movie and the work done by the actors.

Movie is mind blowing. For a change people should stop being good-bad/ black- white. It’s grey,it’s GOAT , it’s super entertaining. Period.

The only worst part of the movie is where Ranbir cheats on Rashmika. From here I felt cut off from Ranbir's character.

I watched the movie yesterday. The first half was actually good, action scenes well packed with background score. But the second half was just OUTRIGHT DUMB like really some moments where unintentionally funny. Like you could include some in your matlab kuch bhi episodes

The reason Ranbir exudes problematic and Turmultous relationship brilliantly with his onscreen dads in films over the years, is because somewhere in his subconscious mind, he has dealt this with his own dad while growing up

Absolutely sad to hear that Bobby has a little screen time. Was hoping so much for him but unfortunately this is the sad part of Indian cinema that a popular star takes most of the spotlight leaving away the good actors gasping for air. I wish I could see a time when the creators are courageous enough to keep the balance between all the actors and let the story take the lead instead of the star.

Ranbir Kapoor's performance was 🔥 Ranbir was just engaging and amazing as the main character and Bobby was also on fire.

This performance of Ranbir was at par of Rockstar,Tamasha and Sanju. His best act he really inhabited the character slowly slowly from the start and became the devil in the end. Happy to see him finally getting accepted in the Mass Genre with the film that is Baap of all Mass movies in Bollywood 🥵🔥💀

Rk does tons of kissing scenes in his films and calls it a family entertainer just think about this being already rated a and the horrific fact that people supporting it and being verbally abusive to those who are criticizing it shows the fact that where the indian audience is heading towards. This kind of movie earning in huge numbers and becoming a commercial success is the most scariest thing happening right now.

Also Sandeep Reddy has really done a great job in editing the movie, the interval block was so good and the ending was just cherry on top !!

Telugu critics are saying the director needs to consult a psychiatrist . How a hero will enter into a college with a gun ? this movie is also releasing in USA where gun culture is an issue to their society and school shootings are happening there .

DOUBLE STANDARDS at its best. Imagine any other actor & Jammy wud be mercilessly dissecting the movie with hate. FYI I'm pro Kabir Singh & Tarantino & would definitely love Animal (I Hope)

Good work, Jammy - you have summarized the good bad and ugly about the movie with great clarity. Thank you for being so articulate. I am sure this is indication enough for viewers to decide their next move. However, in a country like ours there will be a HUGEEEE section of hypocritical viewers who know its A rated creation, will spend money to see 3+ hours of screen time in a multiplex and yet complain and nag about the moral policing !!

One correction Jammy: It is Shakti/Pragati/Vijay, not "Shanti". My take: (i) Bobby is underutilised. (ii) Anil Kapoor should have been explored more. Though he is very very good. (iii) The Ranbir In climax reminded of Rolex from Vikram. The scene really gave chills. BRING ON ANIMAL PARK!!!!!!

Ranbir never fails to deliver

I'm late to the show, but frankly I feel this review is dishonest. It talks about Ranbir's and Anil Kapoor's acting and music/score which are top notch. But doesn't talk about how bad the screenplay and the script was. It did not make sense one bit. It's non sense. It feels like we're just forgiving bad films for sake of 'mass entertainment'; only this film wasn't even entertaining (but I guess that's subjective). I'm not even talking about 'toxic musculanity', because it made sense in Arjun Reddy. It did not make sense here. Kudos to Ranbir though, like in all films he gives his 100% here.

Hey Man, I have been watching your reviews since 2017. But this is the only time I felt this review was not right. - You should have mentioned the forced scenes of sexual dialogue where it clearly showed Vanga wanted to give something for people to rant, argue - the runtime is extremely long and the editing is messy and bad. Please acknowledge that. We got the first show and in the second half people left their sit to go outside and yet nothing major happened - Bobby deol character is wasted. But you mentioned slightly wasted. It was wasted big time - and please mention the story itself is not strong and the comic relief that was planned is cringe from time to time - mera vai gungaa hai aur mera vai behra hain seriously Jammy? You could mention how poorly written dialogues are

|MILD SPOILERS | Mostly agree with you, but I'll be a little harsher than you. 1. Vanga's protagonists are so toxic and problematic that it is difficult to root for them and that becomes a hinderance. I didn't give a hoot as who dies in the end. 2. They didn't explore father-son relationship as much as I would have wanted, they gave it only 10 minutes at the end and it was gold. 3. They did not explore family dynamics much, Bobby's character was wasted. Actually, you can sleep for an hour after interval and you won't miss a thing. 4. Interval block was great, but eventually tiring and repetitive. Jawan and RRR are the gold standard and it was way lesser than those. 5. That hand to hand combat was really good but they shouldn't have played the song there. Fight scenes on songs are getting outdated. 6. Actual ending (before that animal park nonsense) was a little underwhelming. 7. In conclusion, if you think, when the mindless violence was on, the movie was fun. The writer/director could not create a good drama without it, except last 10 minutes.

Ranbir’s physical transformation was so heartbreaking, I don’t want to see him ever again like that 😭

Animal is totally disgusting. 🤮 This is exactly what I felt. SVR is an immature director who thinks uncoordinated gore, repulsive scenes makes him artistic. Whats up with the period line , pregnant woman scene , sofa scene etc.

Can someone just look into Reddy’s past. I am certain he has a troubled one and why do I feel that in years to come we will have his victims com forward. I feel he is sociopath and his movies are like trophies.. he is mocking us, the society and the judicial system where deranged people like him get away with everything.

You dont know how happy i am to see prithvi again on big screen that too on a movie of this scale. He was one of best villans when i am growing up and had many good movies

The machine was not cgi. It took 4 months for them to build it. It looks insane

They looked more like a family of a don from a village in South India😂😂rather than family of India’s biggest businessmen…Terribly long and illogical movie…the movie was filled with flaws…can’t agree with you this time Jammy

It's not great movie ...nope ..the problem is venga is writing his self validating fantasy...the fault lies in character writing .he is not writing any dark character , he is glorifying it ...if venga is really that brave then he should have guts to show his dark characters as it is ..like in vastav , Godfather ..Indian audience is just lost cause if you calling this masterpiece ......

I lost my shit when i saw Ranbir's character pointing a gun at a pregnant woman, that was the scene that made me realise that ranvijay is absolutely evil and it was designed soo bloody well by vanga

Good review. But I think the biggest point you missed was the inability of the script to create believability in the narrative sequences. How are steel factory workers baying for blood? Why was Balbir so angry at Vijay? The villain's background..No backdrops were established, making the sequences look out of place imo. Vanga sadly fell for the Arjun Reddy tropes to create hysteria. Expected more from a director who was being touted as the next RGV.

If we can sit through John Wick massacring 200 assassins who take it as an action flick, then the same courtesy has to be applied to Animal. John Wick struggles apparently with remorse for having returned to the violence but he still participates in it. Yes the violence is gratuitous but that's how action flicks work. It's highly stylised. Animals portrays this violence within the patriarchy, within context. As for sexism , well that is the patriarchy. Violence is also patriarchy. Ranbir 's character derives his identity through his father and wants his sisters to do the same.

What saddens me most is that people say that movies are reflective of what society is heading towards and the kind of tickets that r selling for movie like this shows how violent are society is heading towards

Another feather in Ranbir Kapoor impressive performances. Sandeep Reddy Vanga just showed what violent film is. Anil Kapoor, excellent. But comeback of Bobby Deol, epic

Jammy Pants love misogynist films which show women as shit or show women in bad light. First he praised a mediocre film like Rx100 just because it show woman as a villian. He praised Kabir Singh amd now this. Movies are not social commentaries amd do not need to portray good traits only. The point is the portrayal should be part of characterization and not an attempt of the filmmaker to mouth his own biases through the mouth of his characters. Vanga uses his story to channelize his inner masculine sexist rough personality. This should be criticized and this is very much a legitimate criticism. If you like it just say you like it dont try to justify it

I was genuinely so excited for this film and after trailer my expectations were through the roof and was little worried too, but my good it delivered to that level man. GOAT ANIMAL

Asking your wife to remove her kurta and telling her you are hot even after conceiving two kids while the house servant was right behind...creepy and disgusting..no sane/insane person does that

Am i the only one who feels "satranga" in the movie felt a bit out of place??

The movie is literally if Andrew Tate has daddy issues lol

Uff man i loved it . The way story starts from showing his love for his father was growing and growing. He literally wants his father attention at any cost . The interval block was madness i mean bro the machine gun 💀 and then he slept there and that wide shot was on point. I saw many people were criticizing the 2nd half that it was not that good but the whole point of 2nd half was to show the results of 1st half . I'm not at all disappointed from this decision of vanga . But one thing i don't like that Lord Bobby was underutilized i mean that he feels like he was doing a cameo in the movie . Vanga should have kept Lord Bobby as main villian of part 2 . But overall I'm very much satisfied by this movie . And the post credit was like cherry on the cake . I was actually about to cry on papa meri jaan 🤧. Those who are in dought wheather they should watch it or not trust me you are missing something.

Editing seemed little off. something about the screenplay seemed off. Instead of giving dimri's character that much time, bobby could have easily got more screen time.

Respect for Ranveer Singh for rejecting Kabir Singh🙏📈... He knew that Kabir singh was dark, now with animal being 10X darker... he took the best decision to not work with this psycho director...

Ranbir might be the only big star who could choose this script. Finally a true "KAPOOR" has arrived after years

THIS IS THE START OF SUPERSTAR RANBIR KAPOOR ERA!I can't believe he's the same guy who played Barfi and performed on Channa Mereya.If you want to protect your ideals and morals be prepared to fight without it!One thing I'm rooting is that hope it opens gates to the dark/A rated/gore genre for Mainstream Hindi Audience.It is what the RGV's and the Kashyaps dreamt of and Vanga Sahab was right when he said,"It will be more..." PS: Am I the only one who wants RANBIR KAPOOR IN & AS DEVDAS?

Most ridiculous movie ever. No logic, no police, the guy has all the money in the world, could not even relate to a single character. Suddenly a group of people so called family learn to shoot overnight, they didn't showcase the mistakes did while parenting Ranvijay, simply walks in and a gang war happens... After getting shot with 6 bullets the guy survives, more and more ridiculous things like this😢😢😢😢😢

Just after trailer I thought that Anil K would be a ganglord, but then he is a business man and the total absence of police law and order in India kind of feels unreal. Even with cinematic liberty i couldn't digest this story.

How are Ranbir’s dialogues different from those featured in your ‘Matlab kuch bhi’ episodes?

You will get all emotions while watching this movie. Absolutely for theatre only! Also, this movie shows that the screen time doesn't matter, it's how you perform the role.

I absolutely loved the story, acting, and action choreography but the disadvantages are that it's too lengthy and the main antagonist should have more screenplay but still waiting for the next big animal portrayal

This review of yours should feature in matlab kuch bhi series of yours.

I mean, im not surprised. I remember thinking that Ranbir's character was very reminiscent of Arjun Reddy/ Kabir Singh. This was before me realizing that it was the same director

Overall Animal must watch movie of 2023..everyone played expectional role ..specially Ranbir effortless performance. Another's levels action and screens presence. We can say Ranbir is not an superstars anymore he is megastar .

Hi, I don't think it was worth the hype.. After the 1st interval half it was all downhill.. I guess Gangs of Wasseypur is still the best violent movie directed in India..

I just saw the movie. Oh my god what a movie. The action is top notch🤟🤟 first half was so tight that it would have been best climax. But second half was a bit slow. And some scenes were extended. Ranbirs acting is mind blowing❤I have only one issue why sandeep always show toxic men with loyal women.cheating is justified for the sake of father.I don't like that only otherwise it's really worth watching.

The main thing to take away is why everyone believes that the film should be according to them. No person related to the movie ever said that it will be nice family loving or morally strong movie. The movie for me is about the fact that there can be a completely genre which majority of the audience may not like but its ok to make it.

Special 👍 thumbs up for Ranbir Kapoor, who is so versatile as an actor, slips into any character and brings out the aggression, emotion, and expression from any character ❤❤❤

I may be biased toward tamil as tamilian but when leo was released every Hindi reviewer nitpicked everything to prove that Leo is bad i am not saying its the best movie in tamil but it was good movie but in Animal even anmol just trying very hard to convince that Animal is extraordinary film . Leo ,Animal both are good movies but they have flaws also and even my friend who is from Delhi want me to believe that Animal is greatest movie but for it is same as Leo both are good but have issues as well If i am wrong prove me then 😅

They could actually make a spinoff on how the family feud started. It would be interesting to watch.

The fact that the audience was glued to the screen for 3 hours straight is enough to say that the film has delivered

Beast in the making. Ranbir proved why he's the GOAT. Lord Bobby deol at its best. Bollywood is back❤

when you do reviews for cinema releases? do you watch it multiple times or take notes when ur in there? the analysis performed is incredible!

The regressive part of Ranbir's character comes from the isolation in his childhood, allowing his thoughts to fester without anyone (a father in particular) to keep him in check.

Second half triggered me more. This movie is not for sensitive people, not because it has violence but due to toxic love and drama.

Jammy why does it sound like you liked everything about this film apart from the writing which seems like the main thing that makes a movie work. I’m kinda worried now

One think about sandeep is that he always says he doesn't want/need you to like characters or even see them as a hero or a villain. He just shows characters as he sees fits.

Usually, I have high tolerance for gory movies and can watch them casually. There was something about this film that has jarred me like never before. I'm stunned!
