Exploring Cinema's Most Controversial Horror Movie 

Elisabeth Bloom that’s kind of a win in my book

That's exactly how I see it lmao he was successful

Guinea Pig. look it up

I’d say that probably isn’t the directors dream.

Moths it is it is it is it is it what it is

@Page Not Found I live in the USA and this film was banned here, but I still shows buy or rent because of the ban lift

It's free on Facebook

@@stroervor no it’s not?

@George Gershwin the one on RU-vid but if ur on the us u can still see the uncensored one the one with them killing the turtle(I believe)

@@paddedpineappleanimations265 it's not banned in the US

@Vean Studio well... and what about the director of cuties???

Except Cuties is infinite times worse

Cuties whas made by Ped. O'phyle

@@nitwmaedae6662 Yeah, at least Cannibal Holocaust did somewhat try to get its message across despite its production being hypocritical, and even jumpstarted the Found Footage Horror sub-genre. Cuties... Um.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wc1L3k1nMP8.html Eeyeah, RU-vidr MisAnthro Pony summed it up a million times better than I could ever hope to. At least with Cannibal Holocaust, no-one was getting horrifyingly exploited _on screen_ for all to see. And the cast were Adults.

There’s literally child beauty pageants all over America every week why are we pretending cuties is anything

@Khaled Rapp Could you elaborate?

they would eat the animals (they did it afer the scenes) so why not using them for the movie

@@CrankyB1tsch I'm pretty sure torturing an animal is still bad even if you eat it after.

@@CrankyB1tsch They didn't just kill the animals, they basically tortured them. Plus, you've yet to cite a single source for your claim. It's pretty clear you're just making shit up, considering you also obviously haven't seen the actual movie.

The actor who killed the turtle apparently cried after the deed. The whole scene lasted six minutes, I think.

That's what i always thought

Yeah that title is pulled straight from death metal band names.

Felix cannibal corpse

I just love it when horror flicks choose such subtle titles. That's most of them. They spoil the grand finale right in the header. That's where Asian horror cinema does really well, I think. I don't have a freaking clue what I'm in for when I read a title like Train To Busan, the Grudge or Audition. But probably my favorite horror title ever is simply "The Thing."

@@hermionestranger4964 That's a great point, I haven't seen the Thing but have heard of it and always thought it sounded crass but it's actually hilarious - 'lets call our film 'The (insert monster name here)'' :')

do all 3 of yous watch this during christmas or something

Lady Alteria good for you

Bro that's love right there. A person who hates horror yet is willing to see the pinnacle of horror for her man. Dam near brings a tear to my eye lol

Gotta work that trauma bonding

Ridley Jones that’s actually more true than we think - psychologically speaking, horror/thriller movies are the best movies to watch on dates lol

And you eat bacon

@@lol-cy9wr The movie brings out the hypocrisy in all of us.

@@lol-cy9wr that bacon is also born to be killed and has never had any freedom in its life.

@@swimporpoise5395 You can say the same thing for the turtle. It was born to be killed. Being bred for the purpose of consumption does not make it moral.

@@cabralesmj5 but the difference is those animals are killed for food and other resources. as much as i really don’t like it there’s at least reasoning. they could easily have had a fake turtle or just not done it. it was unnecessary because it had no value to hurt it except to be cruel.

Why?

@@microwaveno7368 because they were actually harmed and tortured

what did you watch it on

@@microwaveno7368 can you read?

@@swimporpoise5395 what did you say?

KamenSentaiMetalHero 2000 right

That’s probably because of it’s found footage style I think, if I’m correct this was the movie that created that genre of film as it was the first of its kind

Interesting fact, Sergio Leone praised the film.

I think it's because at least half the movies of today are trying to mimic movies from that period.

@Boom Diggaty How many shitty film you waste time to comment? Maybe this is not "that kind" of shit movie you mean.

The film that really started that was a movie about a kitten going on Adventures. About a dozen kittens were killed during production.

ahniandfriends123 What movies is it, that sounds awful.

@@ahniandfriends123 You talkin about Milo and Otis?

@@Idontwantabitchasshandle yes, that was the movie

ahniandfriends123 yeah Oliver and Company

That is such a great expression😂

I'm copying your mom's "my soul feels weird".

yeah I kind of understand what she meant.

That's because folks are not supposed to watch such films

Oh my, I hope her soul will recover.... 🤤

Tbh I'm glad they tried to go for the head and make it as quick as possible, that poor thing didn't deserve any of it or hell any of the animals in the movie for that matter. In fact one of the actors in that scene immediately cried after the shoot was done, no civilized person should be able to come out of that without having a few scars inside

@@rhetiq9989i mean, i know theyre actors but you gotta eat

This is something more people should know.

@@barfyman-wn3id wait what is it then?

This was a satire film?

Cameron Drew I think it’s more commentary

@@weirdo3116 satire is typically social commentary with a humorous twist. This is not that. It's sensationalist commentary if I had to try and classify it.

gabriele399 what do you mean?

Funny thing is that it never came out in germany because of the brutal content

@@abscheulichkeit9706 probably a good thing.Only people who want to understand how evil it is should be able to look at it

@@iammrbadguy9706 I couldn't disagree more. Artistic freedom is so very important... the right to see disgusting things should be protected. It is that very same sensitivity to disgust that caused Germany to commit the holocaust. Obviously it's not cool to compare the holocaust with film bans, but at the end of the day they are both symptoms of the same problem: an unhealthy desire for things to be clean and orderly.

Funny enough, the maker of Faces of Death started making those films because of Japanese investors.

@@trequor Wait wot? So one Austrian man's hatred for the Jews which caused him to murder millions of innocent people all around Europe was because of Germany's policy of keeping things clean and orderly. I don't know how you made that connection. But I can somewhat understand But dude you also have to understand that Germany at that time was really in guilt and self reflection. They admitted to their crimes (unlike the Japanese) and was trying to keep a clean image of themselves. Imagine if Nazi propaganda films/games/books or films with great gore/violence was allowed. Wouldn't the rest of the world criticize them for allowing such things? You should also think about it from Germany's perspective too. At least now the censorship laws are relaxed in Germany. Games like Wolfenstien which was banned are now unbanned. Just give them time to heal and bury their past mistakes instead of jumping on the criticizes wagon. The holocaust hasn't even been a century old and it is a matter of great taboo to them

@@marv3n506 There's a difference between killing for necessity(extreme self defense or food) and for sensationalism for a movie.

I think it had to be this way. The film for as awful as it is, is fascinating as a look into the self obsessed, self loathing delusions of the director and the incredible lack of sanity it must have taken to make something like this.

@Nick Waddle its extremely badass that u go to every comment and tell everyone how much of a pussy they are and how cool and tough you are

Nick Waddle Calm down. I like the movie and all but calling everyone else who doesn’t like it a pussy isn’t the right move. Everyone has different taste.

My issue with calling It problematic due to issues with the production Is that it's like.judging a book due to who the writer is, or whatever other piece of art. Do I hate Burzum's music because Varg is a murder nazi cunt? No, I don't. I LOVE many of his albums, yet I hate the man. The same goes for the Cannibal Holocaust. I don't like exploitation films.in general, but given the historical context (which is close to me as an Italian citizen) I understand the artistic idea behind It.

@Nick Waddle African Addio is about real people in real historical event. It's not insanity, just a documentaty about what it was. It wasn't film directors ot script writers who came up with those atrocity. African rebels and Congo mercenaries did. Unlike in this film where it's pure fiction.

except this wasnt porrly made.

Actually if you look past the gore and shock value and controversy of this film you'll find it isn't poorly made or badly acted at all and in fact has a pretty thought provoking story. Most people are just too distracted by those things to notice the story.

@david who called it a masterpiece though? My whole point was that there is more to this movie than just gore and controversy. I liked Neon Demon too but I wouldn't call that a masterpiece either. Calling anything a masterpiece feels a bit pretentious to me. No shade just my personal feelings on the matter.

That still haunts me.

formorri great comment

You are very judgy for someone who haven’t even watched the film, don’t you. Shove your preconception aside, watch the movie, it’s awesome. Then come to your own conclusion. It’s actually quite smarter than you think. Why are US people so obsessed with empty concepts like “hipocrisy” and so eager to jump to conclusions without even beginning to see the facts, let alone contemplating different points of view?

Why have you just wrote a paragraph about a film you've never seen

How did you recover?

That must have been hard

@@bacon_haired_dude7050 it was, I still remember the soundtracks, I tried to look for a track in another scene when they were in a jungle( wasn't really a track just scary drums) but I could never find it. Those drums haunted me for 3 years straight growing up I want to see if they could still trigger something.

@@cobaltshark934 I just slowly forgot about the movie until someday I looked for scary movies cause I couldn't remember the name. I found out it was this fucking movie.

Ahahahaaha

This movie is unwatchable and beyond vile, I feel for the animals and the actors tortured to make it. Even watching this breakdown is hard.

Dylan Gadzala maybe, maybe not. Part of the problem with it is the execution as well. It’s way too reliant on shock value and sensationalism and could have been way better if it weren’t for that

I think it needed to be made. It set a huge example and probably convinced a lot of people to not include actual animal deaths in movies. Also, it isn’t not morally acceptable. You’re basing this off of your idea of morality when everyone’s morals are different. I think your question would be better if it said “more morally acceptable” instead.

Check out Eli Roth’s Green Inferno

@Miguel Flagstaff Talk to an ultra conservative muslim and an ultra liberal pink haired girl and youll quickly see how untrue that is

@Miguel Flagstaff I'm not quite sure how you can say that. Objectivity regarding morality is difficult. The only way to assume it is to assume that there is a God, and to assume that God can determine what is objectively morally good and communicate it to you. To some, objective moral good is killing certain types of people to cleanse the world of their horror. To a lot of people, that means killing certain types of dangerous criminals. Whats a dangerous criminal? It could be someone who murders or someone who spreads what some determine to be dangerous thought, be it then wrong religion (as it would sully God's name), it could be spreading ideas that you find to be evil (such as nazism to an ultra liberal pink haired girl or homosexuality to an ultra conservative muslim) This isn't to say having a moral compass is bad, or even that I disagree with your perspective on moral good and bad, but it is to say that your idea of morality would shift if you were raised in a different way. It is to say that there is no objective moral good and moral evil. If you can think of a concept that all humans from the beginning of humanity till today can agree or disagree with, you've found objective morality. The field of philosophy will be extremely envious of you, for there is not an insignificant number of people who spent their entire lives trying to determine what objective morality is.

IF YOU'RE SO DISTURBED WHY AREN'T YOU A VEGETARIAN

@@quinn.0 I'm actually vegan....

^this.

I accidentally click on loads of videos while scrolling on youtube mobile, so it can serve as a good warning in that case

I saw the movie until the pig scene because I've had enough during the turtle scene. The gory scenes involving humans are shocking but you can still see that no humans were killed (but you still get wonder how unethical they went through to shoot those scenes). I believe that the animal killings were their main tool to get the viewer horrified. Even watching this video, there was no issue showing some human flesh about to be eaten.

I’m just a bucket load of bad decisions I guess

because he noted he wouldn't show any graphic scenes. as long as i'm not subjected to that, i am curious about this movie, but will never watch it.

Nick Waddle That’s not what it’s about. I know one of the major characteristics of art is that it is open for interpretation, but this had a pretty clear message. It definitely wasn’t about how “all humans are inherently evil” mainly because that’s just not true. Objective evil doesn’t exist. Different people see different things as evil. The message was definitely closer to what the guy you replied to said. If anything it’s a huge lesson for western culture on cultural relativism. Also, labeling someone who doesn’t like the movie as a left wing pussy isn’t very academic. Especially when that claim has little to no evidence. I myself am left wing, but I love this movie and am definitely not a pussy. The guy commentating was just giving his opinion and he said he doesn’t like it for “personal reasons”. That could mean a number of things.

My thoughts exactly. The most ironic and first environmentalist movie. I have the uncut DVD and vhs and deem it an important piece of cinema. Fake News comes to mind so it foreshadowed media manipulation of the population.

I’d take this over Cuties any day.

The thing is that CH is executed extremely well executed, it's just that its own moral dimension is convoluted.

I did actually spill my coffee onscreen in an older video but can't remember which one!

DoodlyPear no rape and murder that we know of at least :)

Anton Ahah, I'm gonna have to give the Paul's benefit of the doubt for this one, sorry :p

@@doodlypear9393 Moldy oranges and moldy tangerines? Quite possibly the worst comparison I've ever read. Taking these examples and desiccating the actual relevance from both, it's cowardice/ignorance.

Yeah, I also realized that when Ryan was talking about it's plot and how Green Inferno is so alike with it with the Amazon tribe and killings and stuff. Though in the Green Inferno they made it where the Amazon tribe are the bad ones and that the crew didn't really do anything wrong.

Green Inferno isn't a remake, it's just heavily influenced by Cannibal Holocaust. The documentary the crew were making the Cannibal Holocaust was called "The Green Inferno" and Eli Roth named the movie after it.

Definitely not a remake and is widely considered an unofficial sequel about that tribe years later that have remained savage from the original incident.

Lmao the thing where the activist didn't even know a thing about the sht they're about to go in?

It had potential but it's Eli Roth, where potential goes to die.

Agreed! They could easily have faked the deaths. There is no justification at all for the killing of the animals. In an interview with one of the actors he said that they did have an effects for the monkey deaths, but the director wanted the real thing. Plus it started the trend of animal cruelty in other cannibal movies. I saw one still of a monkey being tied up and eaten by a snake that will haunt me for life (I can't remember which movie I think it was Cannibal Ferox). Plus he treated the extras badly, like with the hut burning scenes the extras were really put in danger.

Technically, it's satirizing the news media. Parody is done in a loving, "tongue-in-cheek" manor. Satire strives to point something out as horrible or absurd.

Lugbzurg you have a solid point. Thank you

It's a tragic waste of ketchup.

The real crew are just actors. The fake crew in the movie are the antagonists hurting people.

@@sonicdv3953 but there's 3 crews. The first group who died, then the search party sent by the network, then there's the actual film crew making Cannibal Holocaust. OP is confused which one Ryan was talking about at parts and I don't blame him.

@@ceebee3083 True enough. This is actually a well put together flick and I can see why movie fans would be taken with it; on the surface, it does like like a good movie. it's just the hypocrisy that undermines its "message" at every turn prevents it from actually being a good movie.

Even if I agree with the movie not being that deep or intelligent. You’re still using a straw man argument and you should feel bad for doing that.

“But they killed animals in the making of it...”

@@justalittlerest How so? I pointed out how the message was not genuine and that those who say otherwise are lying to themselves. This is called reality.

Marauder623 mostly everything about this movie is unnecessary including the sensationalism and shock value it hinges on to appeal to some oddly specific audience

yea that's the perfect word. the animal scenes didn't make my stomach turn nearly as much as the rape scenes but at least I see how the rape scenes pertain to the plot. theres nothing horrific about killing animals for food in the jungle, and the fact that there were so many scenes of them actually killing animals simply for the sake of shock value is pretty disgusting when u think about it.

no one you know big difference between killing for food and torturing to be edgy in a film.

I think it because of the obvious torture before killing.

I'll kill this animal 👽

Only if logan and his crew ate the person after they found him

@@kyledupont7711 you assume I eat meat? There is an inherent difference between the killing of animals for nourishment and the killing of animals for passive entertainment purposes. I am definitely not against the consumption of meat as it allowed our ancestors to develop a robust frontal cortex through efficient delivery of high quality proteins and fats. We should be thankful to have the option to eat meat. The argument is the frivolous extinguishing of a life for the purpose of hedonism and transient entertainment. There are claims that the animals were consumed post filming by the tribe member but I have yet to find verification of the claim.

That and also the tribe members being subjected to such horrible scenarios like almost being burned with no protective gear.

@@kyledupont7711 Then don't go to a jungle if there's a chance ull have to kill turtles or snakes

@Felix Stotts no but gummies are made utilizing the by-products of butchering an animal. Just so not all of the animal goes to waste the vast majority if not all of the animal gets used including connective tissue where gelatin is derived. I dont know what gummies you are talking about but I dont think there is an industry out there butchering and processing meat for the soul purpose of gelatin. It is not sustainable, poor business model and oh so very idiotic. I do see the point you are trying to make though. Its just that it wasn't a good one 😕 Much respect and Aloha.

Theres a difference between industries killing animals quickly for food and killing animals painfully for entertainment purposes.

Kyros Droztamyr Why? You deserve to be in prison if you believe its okay to take away our freedom of speech to create works of art that provoke deep messages. It was obviously wrong of them to hurt animals and stuff, thats why I said that. But it isnt harmful to listen to the overarching message of "hey white ppl, dont butt in to other people's way of live and make fun of them/rape and pillage them, or it may end bad for you."

Pretty sure that was sarcasm. …...I hope it was sarcasm.

i mean did they eat the animals? if they did then idt its as awful

BBB It is messed up they used real animals The movie industry in the 70s wasn’t really safe and labor laws weren’t great , a example of that would be Texas Chainsaw Massacre ( half of everything was real in that movie such as the bones )

It has some bad acting, but apart from that it's really effective.

Totally agree! I just made 2 of my roommates watch it tonight. They were fairly unresponsive for most of it, then totally silent at the end. 2 minutes later there ended up being a 90 minute discussion of the details and how "morality" simply isn't the same for everyone, but within different contexts things are justified and people need to see both sides to the truth.

I’m just commenting for the nico nico ni

what a coincidence so am i nico nico nii~

I couldn't agree more with you about this Film: It's not just a B movie passed over as a Gorehound Release - it's Art in it's truest form. I really think CH - among other movies out there - is a direct reflection and proof that Man is the most Vicious animal of all!

"The world might not be better for its existence, but it's certainly more interesting." BINGO. I think this movie is the last thing you should go for as a hard study on anything about society but as a movie, that's where the entertainment comes from. It's just a shock movie but one of the most influential. The fact that people actually thought this was real, despite how it was released SHOULD have been a massive clue that this was just a fictional story, really says a lot. The only other movie I can remember when I was growing up that had the same effect was The Blair Witch Project and then later on the original Paranormal Activity.

Good one

Bijinius Cross not to mention 5 other animals

my question is how the fuck dose a _sea_ turtle makes it all the way deep into the south american jungle...

fat ratz oooo spooky just like the animals you eat every day stfu

56cpfan Do they graphically kill animals with their own hands on footage for the purpose to make money, everyday? No so you can Stfu.

I mean, they still do it for money? They just use more efficient tools and try and make it as painless as possible. I don't believe they wait till the animal is dead before they start butchering so they are taking it's life. And last time i checked their are documentary's about slaughter houses and all that. I do find it fucked up, but i understand it's necessities and how life is. Chances are that animal would of probably died just as bad to another animal. Nature is fucking cruel as shit tbh and often times have 5x worse things than we do on a daily basis. I mean we don't paralyze something then lay eggs and let our babies kill and eat it afterwords. That is just one example of how fucked nature is compared to us. We maybe dark and evil at times, but eh natures worst...

As fucked up as it is, its kind of very artistic from a cinematic point of view, it is a good. But its fucked up, and feels kinda messed up to admit the film making about it is good and unique.

you have to be some sort of lunatic artist if you want to enjoy this film in its entirety. or you can just enjoy it normally like a sane person by closing your eyes during the gore and unnecessary death scenes

the movie is pointless without those scenes u coward, it's meant to be horrific and shocking. why the fuck would those scenes be included if it's "normal" and "sane" to close ur eyes like a bitch at something u literally know is fake? smh u aren't built for reality if u can't even handle movie gore

@@travisberry3466 you could rewrite the movie by only implying the deaths or just showing split frames of them and it would still have the same social commentary, story and shock (less disgusting stuff ofc). Those gore scenes are literally unnecessary and just the director's morbid and artistic curiousity to horrific deaths. And if you recall, the director was charged for murder because the scenes were too realistic. NOT EVERYONE will immediately think this is fake. Not everyone will digest this gory cinematic experience. Not everyone holds the same mindset as you. Widen your perspective of reality and realize not everyone is YOU. Thank you for reading. (to add: the animal deaths aint fake.)

@@megugu2155 ok so if ur so sensitive to the gore then there's other movies out there for you, u can't expect others to censor their own artistic vision because some people find it too disturbing ur the one that needs to widen their perspective, not me. ur sitting here whining about the movie's imagery and complaining that it's unnecessarily graphic etc., clearly these types of films aren't for u don't project ur insecurities on me, it's my mindset that allows me to think critically and enjoy something that is shocking and gruesome because I have the mental maturity to handle the visuals given the context

@Vean Studio U seem to make a reasonable assessment of the film. No media is perfect, no media is entirely terrible (usually). There are obviously bad things about this film but I get why people might like it

Agreed -- the idea, message and even the horror aspects were fine, but the director didn't draw some lines in the sand that needed to be drawn. That said, I feel that a lot of the indignation that mainstream media and film news felt over this film was more due to its criticism of "first world" countries committing atrocities but accusing indigenous peoples of being "primitive" (though his own depiction of the indigenous people isn't 100% correct either, with regards to their traditions, food or clothes). There was strong indignation at Vauqier's Afrique 50 as well, which wasn't even a horror film of any kind, just a documentary about the lives of natives in a French colony -- the Eurocentric media couldn't forgive such an anti-imperialist take, and the film was banned (I believe scraps of it remain and can be seen on RU-vid; I've seen a few scenes from some film class DVD of politically censored media). Yes, the animal scenes were unnecessary, and it begs the question if the director isn't a hypocrite for using exploitation factors in a film that he claims is anti-exploitation. However, I'm shocked that this film almost threw the film crew into jail for alleged murder and obscenity, and the movie was suppressed across the world, when in the Twilight Zone movie, due to the director's severe negligence and the terrible, illegal working conditions he put the cast through (including very young child actors), three performers died, two of which were children (decapitated and crushed by a helicopter in front of their guardians). The film was released with barely a murmur by the film critics; Landis left the scandal unscathed (though the movies he'd go on to direct, like Beverly Hills Cop 3 and Blues Brothers 2000 were critical and financial flops); and to this day while most critics agree that it's a bad and boring film, few seem to care overly much about the lives sacrificed so brutally for it. There's actually a large number of films and TV shows where cast or crew died during filming (Catch-22, Con-Air, The Walking Dead), and it's terrible that the directors who put the people under them into such precarious situations go away scot-free (while the director of Cannibal Holocaust, who hadn't orchestrated the death of any performer or crew-member, was thoroughly horse-whipped). Some directors are even praised as geniuses -- if it hadn't been for Clint Eastwood's common sense during the making of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, he and co-star Eli Wallach would have been killed in the bridge explosion scene, because Sergio Leone didn't ensure any kind of on-set security even where pyrotechnics were concerned. He was insanely bad to his casts. Wallach was seriously injured numerous times during the course of shooting.

Captain Deadpool for such a brutal film...your right

I'd rather hear the screams! 😍now that's music to my ears

and creepy

check out bucketheads live performance of the theme song

I’ve seen the film and this music makes me feel insane and maybe suicidal don’t watch the film

Every American Film: *You sure about that...*

@@limon9614 now you're over exaggerating

Eren Jaeger: *oh?*

Eren yeager begs to differ

Weirdest movie honestly, its using gore and violence and sex to shock but if you remove it all, there is still something to it

Having it less violent and making it with a lot less issues, pretty okay concept and twist possibly

rhonda howard thats true..alot og italian horror movies used that tatic in the 70s and 80s

The technical term for it is anempathetic music. Like when a nursery rhyme is used in a horror movie, or the romantic smarmy music in Cannibal Holocaust.

rhonda howard I've managed to go years without knowing what 2girls1cup ever was. After reading your comment I now know what I never wanted to know.

ASMRyouVEGANyet? Fake shit. Real puke though. 😂

see I can really handle dark horror movies, but I just think all the stories about the animal cruelty and everything would be on my mind while watching it and therefore I wouldnt be able to NOT base my opinion on it, if that makes sense.. crazy your mom cant watch saw films ahah those aren't really that bad.

Yeah, I hear you. Like Ryan said, the animal scenes are really hard to get through, especially the tortoise. My mom really doesn't like the whole torture genre, but I agree that Saw is rather tame compared to something like this or Martyrs.

Still, these are animals were getting killed over there on a dailey base and just in the same manner. The only difference was that there was a camera present this time. I can understand why vegans would be upset by this, but of you're a fan of horror but offended by the sight of food getting prepared, you're probably just as hypocritical as some may say this movie is.

The thing is that the animals getting killed in the movie weren't killed to make me a burger, they were killed for no reason other than having the shot for the movie, that could have been done easily without actually killing them....and I'm vegetarian but the situation really isnt the same thing imo

And then they were eaten. Like they were eaten every time someone needed food.

Yeah, of course that's the case. If a robber says "stealing is bad" you don't hate what he said, you hate the fact that of all people *he's* the one that said it. It makes him seem dishonest and somewhat annoying while making the statement less important since even he doesn't follow it!

He got ya there. Gustav headass

@@humbertocobian4740 The person who doesn't steal but says the same thing the robber says. The issue is the person who hears "stealing isn't good" wether that person can distinguish the speaker from the point rather than not being able to seperate the two effectively.. (vice versa) and instead have their emotions take over and then throwing the baby out with the bath water (usually the point) and just go into an emotional unproductive fit

Come on.."Srpski Film" isn't real; it's disturbing subject matter but your subconscious mind recognizes that it's all acting and illusion...looking at real life mutilation is on a different level.

Cannibal Holocaust is the mother of all horror movies.
