it got it for being edgy

its literally the only reason anyone cares about it.
it was a landmark for free speech in film.

Come back when you're 18, kids.

People felt bad that the director got murdered. That's basically it.

I'm 26 checkmate.

But that doesn't make much sense. It's like judging film for being recorded on a very special film stock.

i'm 32, who the fuck are you?!

i agree, and i like pasolini otherwise. this isnt a good film, its just there to be edgy and push the boundaries. i dont even think it can communicate the intended messeage.

His murder was supposedly linked to "fascist" elements which opposed his work, so tha canonization of the film was seen as important for "free expression."

It's sort of the same with "Pink Flamingos," which is sometimes described as a "classic" despite being lurid trash.

>edgy
there's literally 15-16-17 year old kids in this movie. technically this film is cp
kys

You cant be this pleb?? maybe spend less time looking through imdb top 10 crazy DISTURBING film lists tthis is cinema.. this is important.. maybe go watch august underground mordum and you can tell the boys at lunch how fucked UP it was..theyll think youre so cool you can watch scary violent movies and they cant haha bro you are awesome dude.. and kind of a sick guy ..

You just described my life.

men behind the sun nanjing is worse

you are the definition of edgy kid, check out Sup Forums, you'Ll like it

>thinks august underground is hardcore

this is some next level bait, i watched that shit on youtube lmao

bro you didn't get a shit of Salò
I mean ok, this Kino is kinda edgy but it is much more than that bro

OP didn't get a shit from Salò, Such a political film considered edgy and torture porn because the World Order doesn't want people to think for themselves, also Pasolini was communist and gay. This film has multiple interpretations and its probably one of the most TOTALLY masterpiece ever filmed. ANTEINFERNO

just bought this blu ray and it would be my first criterion I can't wait no longer

>This film is just edgy for the purpose of being edgy.

Yes, basically. This was a trend for a while.

The Neon Demon is basically a modern version of this kind of trend. Shallow, no substance. Just a series of omg so shocking scenes for the sake of being edgy and for no other reason.

the book is where the real edgy shit is, the kids in that are like seven years old.

>n-no it's definitely a deep film and not cheap torture porn

lol

it's not

>2016
>anything genuinely provocative and pushing boundaries is edgy

>2018
>any film above pg13 is edgy

2020
>any film with cuss words is edgy

kys Sup Forums you fucking gay faggots

The events in the film actually took place. It's supposed to shock and disturb you.

>Dante's Inferno
>Pound's Cantos
>The Genealogy of Morals
>In Search of Lost Time

The movie will be 3deep5u if you haven't read these.

Lame people can not get this film. Pasolini told that his movie would be probably misunderstood and thats what happened. Capitalism put this one in the same box than cannibal holocaust or Serbian film. Who is the real edgy? People underestimate the power of Salò one of the most corrosive films ever, this machine kill fascists

>In Search of Lost Time
oh okay let me sit down and read 5000 fucking pages so I can "get" a torture porn flick. yeah, I'll get right on that

go to college bro or study history for yourself. Don't be such a prick looking for torture porn flick and don't getting Salò because of that. Go watch cannibal holocaust bro

>The events in the film actually took place

No, it's a book adaptation, and Sade wrote it while in prision entirely out of his imagination.

yeah maybe he gets that one lmao

t. libcuck

well the events in the film are actually taking place right now... you didn't get a shit from Salò bro. Open your mind

blair witch also happened in real life

roflcopter

You should read it because it's one of the finest literary achievements in the history of mankind.

Torture porn is great and deep and artistic as long as the characters don't speak english, IE: Salo and Martyrs

Edgy movie based on edgy book while pretending to have some deep agenda which is doesn't have. Somehow this shit works for people who like to think they're much smarter than they are.

This is one of the most embarassing threads I've ever seen. Don't we have an over 18 rule here? Educate yourself on film before you come here, Christ alive.

While I don't think it's a poetic masterpiece like everyone seems to think, I appreciate it for its importance. The main message (nazis are really bad you guys and they have lots of power too I guess) is pushed way too hard, and most 2deep interpretations are ridiculous, since they're just overdeveloped theories based on vague allusions that the film makes.

Salo is a lot like Haneke's Funny Games. It's more a statement and social commentary essay, rather than a competent movie, and that's fine. I still don't like either, though.

DUDE DIRECTOR WAS KILLED BY HIS FAGGOT PROSTITUTE OF THE DAY BECAUSE HE WAS HIRED BY THE MOB AND THE GOVERMENT TO DO IT LMAO

>it's edgy because i dont get it
neo-Sup Forums, ladies and gentlemen!

younger

>nazis

Did you actually watch the film?

>Don't we have an over 18 rule
>believes in the fairy tale of big man in the sky

zero.

There are zero nazis in this film

All the victims in the book range from 12 to 15, I have no idea where are you getting that info.

Salò is a representation about the absolute power in its highest extent. I don't care if its Sade's France, Mussolinis Italy, Hitler germany or Trump in USA. This film is an anti fascist statement. I didn't find it that edgy I think the porn videos you guys watch on the internet are much more edgier than Salò.

Exactly my point, brah.

read the wiki

inb4 doesn't trust wiki

Beat me to it.

He's just some person who has not only never actually read the book, but hasn't even read /about/ the book beyond the simplest details.

Of course it doesn't have actual nazis in it. It's about fascist Italy. It's an allegory for fascism as a whole (on top of the RSI), or at least that's one of the more obvious interpretations.

was meant to quote the other guy

>read the wiki
>"Eight boys and eight girls aged from twelve to fifteen."

it mentions kids as young as 3, just ctrl+f it if you insist on not just reading it

>tfw no teenage qts to torture

Fascism when.

Those are from stories told by the characters, not actual actions happening in the story.

This is very true/ Have you read the novel?

>Trump in USA
he's serious top kek

so? it's a book.

>kys
why is reddit here?

Im so glad to see you guys discussing Salò. I never see threads about this masterpiece on Sup Forums board.
This is one of my favorites movies ever

>fascists are authoritarian prudes
>but they're also perverted sadists XD

>This is one of my favorites movies ever

I tip my fedora at thee, my friend!

>YOU WILL NEVER FUCK BEA ARTHUR

Soon, brother.

why does she eat the shit?

$20 says this guy has a superhero movie on his top 10

Not that I necessarily agree with the other guy, but you clearly didn't understand what he was trying to say.

>You're a pleb for not liking this film for being edgy

>Now go back to bragging to your friends about how many edgy movies you like

Maybe this made more sense in your head...

Well, you've got an edgy exploitation flick on yours, so maybe you're not one to judge?

There's not a lot of edgy shit in that movie.
Artsy, sure, but nothing really edgy.

Yeah, and it's clear from the promotional stuff that the edgy shit wasn't a selling point.

is anything actually edgy anymore? Not like 'xD so edgy!111' i mean like when before the word became a meme.


>movie where young children are forced to eat shit, have their eyes cut out, etc
>lol edgy xD

If this isn't then what is?

Because the premise of the film (and its source material) is that everyone else who isn't one of the four old friends is ultimately to be either one of their victims, playthings, or to help them maximize their evil hedonism. And if anyone should resist them in this project in any way, then that person will be summarily executed - witness one runaway, early in the picture, who managed to escape a car for a few seconds - he is immediately gunned down.

Everyone knows the score, and the girl still kind of wants to be alive for a few more days. So she eats the shit (which is really a tasty chocolate pudding!) :9

But one of the main points of the movie was that it was meant to be edgy, controversial and divisive. It was supposed to be a huge thing that everyone talked about, and not fly under the radar as another shitty exploitation film. It's a good and important film partly because it's edgy, especially for its time.

Also edgy =/= bad. Just because it's a meme it doesn't mean that the real meaning of the word is obsolete.

>much more than that
And what is that exactly? They fuck each other in the ass and consume feces for 2 hours, that's it. Have you actually seen the film?

lol

Serbian Film is better though.

you're basically asking if Sup Forums users will admit to being shocked by something in a movie, the answer is no.

Forget edgy, how about it's incredibly boring and uninteresting.

Let me fuck you in the ass
Eat Shit!!! EAT shit!!!!!
>I don't get it

Try Cannibal (2006)

wtf bro its a shock movie. The feces consuming its a representation retard it could be you eating big mac. The whole movie is a representation of the new world order

Serbian film is really edgy work

>Serbian film 5/10
>Salò 120 10/10

Yea yea the same as modern art. You shit on the floor or bring a rock in the museum and say it has """"""meaning"""""" and is art.

Stick to capeshit, kiddo.

maybe 2deep4U bro
I don't like Rembrandt anyway

>Salo is 2deep
>I don't like Rembrandt

How does it compare to A Serbian Film and August Underground?

As I said, that's artsy imo.

>im too retard to appreciate abstract art and avant garde.
>love realistic painting
>2016

have you seen any other Pasolini movie? maybe you are looking for edgy but Salò is an artsy film

The edginess was groundbreaking at the time

BvS is a misunderstood masterpiece.
