What do Mel Gibson, Michael Haneke and Alfred Hitchcock have in common?
In this video essay we'll find out about a never mentioned brilliant feat Mel Gibson pulled off in "Braveheart". His deep understanding of audience psychology is only possible thanks to your love for violence. Sorry to break it to you, but you absolutely adore violence.
A director could choose NOT to show violence, which has three possible effects, or a director could choose to show violence, which can have all sorts of effects, some of which might be unintended (remember the Propeller Guy?). With that in mind, we'll go through Michael Haneke's "Funny Games", and its shot-for-shot remake, "Funny Games", and we'll see what a taste for blood you actually have.
Finally, how about taking a look at Alfred Hitchcock, patron saint of directors who pull strings inside your mind? "Psycho" might reveal a thing or two you wish you didn't know about yourself.
