Just saw this at an arthouse place. This is genuinely one of the best films I've seen all year, maybe in the last several years. It's just devastatingly effective. The trailer made me assume it was a tryhard edgy movie but y'know what, after watching it I've come to realize a lot of the movies I'd previously regarded as brutal don't actually know what brutality is. People go on about how hardcore and brutal Fury and Hacksaw Ridge were but the violence in them was egregious to the point of lacking impact after a while, this movie knows less is more, it knows subtlety is effective and it shows.
Fuck, I can't get over how much I enjoyed it. Any other anons see it yet?
>People go on about how hardcore and brutal Fury and Hacksaw Ridge were no one does that
Evan Brown
Yeah they do, they kept harping on about that retarded first battle scene in Hacksaw and muh human corpse shield.
Samuel Smith
i dont know what kind of people youre talking about. maybe underage fags who havent even seen saving private ryan would say these movies are brutal.
Sebastian Williams
How much of it is a metaphor for menstruation? 90%?
Oliver Rogers
Here bro, the people here, I was in a few threads for both and the webm for that scene was just farming (You)'s.
Whatever, what did you think of the movie?
Easton Phillips
It's not feminist propaganda, but there is a muslim white woman sex scene, so if that triggers you better stay away.
Joshua Taylor
ive only seen the trailer, looks like something eli roth would make. It looks fine but other than every scene having something disgusting in it i cant tell what the point is.
William Martinez
I don't give a shit about that, I was just worried about the former. Ty.
Josiah Morgan
This movie is the epitome of try hard, and violence for the sake of violence.
The gore is used in place of actual substance. This movie is another Babadook. A shot film unduly praised for political reasons (female director).
There's really nothing good or entertaining about it.
Evan Gray
Very few of the scenes actually have something disgusting in it. Like I said, it knows less is more and it doles out the gore very sparingly. It's a coming-of-age story but with a horror and psychological thriller bent.
Ryan Johnson
The ending is disappointing though. I mean it was logical but the execution was awkward. Also, Ducournau is a q.t.
Grayson Baker
The actor's an arab but the character is a French homosexual.
Juan Turner
Epitome of tryhard? You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. A Serbian film with the son rape and Antichrist with the clit scissoring were tryhard, Hacksaw Ridge had more of a tryhard moment with using the human corpse as a shield. Where was the violence for the sake of violence in this? In the entire fucking movie there were I think 3 or 4 violent scenes. How is that tryhard?
Again, did you even watch the film? The gore was used literally only 3 or 4 times in a 1 and half hour movie.
>A shot film unduly praised for political reasons (female director). Oh you're fucking deluded Sup Forumstard
Jayden Flores
Are you sure you don't mean Garance ? Because she is 100% qt. I think I may have a new waifu.
Brody Thompson
>The ending is disappointing though. I mean it was logical but the execution was awkward What do you mean, can you expand on this?
David Kelly
any torrents?
Aiden Cruz
I doubt one will be out for a while. It only came out a week ago here.
Aiden Jones
Nope. Just google "Julia Ducournau". The film is ALSO about determinism and tribal instincts. Her father revealing all of a sudden his scars seemed poorly written to me. It was a good idea but I feel like it should have been revealed by her mother. Also, I find it hard to believe that she's never seen her father without a shirt.
Asher Gutierrez
I think they only did that for the people too stupid to notice his lip and make the connection so they needed to make it an obvious thing. If it was the mother they wouldn't have had that cool subtle moment. Second point stands though.
Cameron Williams
Saw it in an empty theatre. I loved it. It definitely made me a little squemish.
Julian Martinez
I've literally never gagged watching a movie before, and this movie still didn't make me gag because I'm not a little bitch, but it came the closest during the hair scene. It's weird, all the gore paled in comparison to just that hair.
Grayson Watson
bump
Oliver Price
Why the fuck would I watch this? Pretend genre-movie feminist art movies are the worst kind of trash.
Samuel Green
Those movies' gore were more natural and fit with the movie. Raw is just raw tryhard
Aiden Rivera
>Any other anons see it yet?
nope. and I don't want to echo other anons in the thread but it does look try hard shock value bullshit like Martyrs etc.
anyone care to provide a summary ?
Angel Fisher
They don't. People are aware that Hacksaw Ridge was *supposed* to be brutal, but that doesn't mean they think it achieved that. In fact, even from people who like the film the main criticism is that the violence is way over the top and cartoonish. Naturally, fanboys don't count.
Nicholas Taylor
>Hacksaw Ridge was *supposed* to be brutal
yes you dipshit, it's brutal the way war is brutal not in an edgy 17 yos fantasy.
Angel Nguyen
It's far more a coming of age movie than a horror one. There's been a lot of bad marketting regarding that movie, with people puking at Sundance and shit like that. According to interviews the cast & crew feel that this doesn't represent the movie at all.
I don't think that it was gore, but rather a good use of gore / horror. Worth a watch, like a good mix of Respire and Suspiria.
Jaxson Wood
>it's brutal the way war is brutal ah yes, shooting a bar rifle with one hand while holding a human shield and killing every single target, definitely not an edgy 17 year olds fantasy
Brandon Butler
I don't understand your criticism, the gore in those movies fit because the movies were about fucked up things but the gore doesn't fit raw even though it's about cannibalism? Keep in mind there's only one scene of intense gore. I just don't understand why you think violence has no place at a movie set in a medical school.
Matthew Butler
It was that particular scene that made me squemish. The reason it's so uncomfortable because hurting your private parts is something you do not really want to think about.
Jaxson Cooper
Watch the original Martyrs next
Gabriel Myers
The trailer makes it look like that but there's honestly only about 4 instances of violence in the movie. Two of which arent even very violent. Like the film is shocking but it doesn't revolve around the shocks. I don't want to spoil it because it's cool but the grossest part of the movie just involves hair, that really doesn't come across as try hard to me.
Daniel Hall
Oh nah I'm talking about the other hair scene. In the bathroom. Don't spoil it for others!
Jayden Diaz
War is meant to be brutal, saving Private Ryans beach landing scene wasnt try hard and managed to convey that really really well. Hacksaw was retarded because it made the action overblown. I felt like they made it into a videogame sequence, I actually felt like it was offensive in how it depicted war, like it was demeaning the severity by making it CoD like.
Thomas Powell
I don't get why Hacksaw Ridge felt the need to depict violence in such an overblown way. In fact, I don't get why Desmond Doss isn't the focus during the battle sequences. We do not need to see a soldier grabbing a corpse and using it as a human shield.
Carter Rogers
Martyrs, Serbian film, anti Christ, all those shock horror movies are actually shit. All have like 50% on RT. Don't lump this movie along with them. It's got a 91%, it's actually just a really solid film.
Good grief, you quote RT ratings as a metric of quality, I ain't seeing this flick nigga.
Gabriel Sanders
SJW garbage, I wipe my ass with your face, you perform fellatio for a living
assman.
William Jackson
lmao that human corpse shield was fucking hilarious in Hacksaw Ridge. So was that zombie.
Sebastian Lopez
That RT rating doesn't mean it's a 9/10 movie, only that 91% of people that saw it would rate it favorably. Your more likely than not going to be included in that 91% figure.
Jacob Wilson
Human corpse shield was a totally legitimate battlefield occurence, though. People seem to have difficulty with the realities of war. This is like people objecting to his realistic depiction of the physical effects of crucifixion all over again. Gibson does use violence in his movies, but however detailed it gets, it's never hyperbolic.
>muslim white woman sex scene
Yeah, fuck off then, cuckfriend.
Caleb Nelson
You just quoted it as a metric of quality you fucking dipshit. That's literally how you used it. How many professional reviewers are going to thumbs-down a feminist pseudo-genre movie?
Gabriel Sanchez
Reading the synopsis; it starts with a "hazing ritual".
Isn't this like an american thing ? do we even do this thing in europe ?
Sebastian Richardson
Read a review of it in a newspaper here, said it could be interested as a parallel to anorexia (eating disorders), good girl syndrome and sexual awakening. Not for me.
Jack Martin
I thought you took objection with what the metric meant.
>Feminist pseudo genre Okay you can stop using words that don't apply to this movie now
Zachary Cruz
No, we don't, but the people it's for are too asocial to know that.
Evan Ross
I objected to how you were using it, as if it indicated a worthwhile movie.
>Okay you can stop
Wanna know how I know you're lying?
Liam Sullivan
Quelle surprise, it's about women's endless desire to play the fucking martyr over normal life.
Aaron Johnson
Not denying human corpse shield doesn't happen, but the way Gibson portrays it looks like it came out off a videogame. It made me realise that Gibson is so obssesed with the violence that he reduced the part of the movie that would've made it a standout among war movies a 10 minute montage.
Matthew Cruz
>but the people it's for are too asocial to know that.
You're retarded. Any movie that starts with a hazing ritual is lost on me.
Just read the story and some reviews and it really seems like the definition of try hard.
Elijah White
No idea bro. The partying at the vet school seemed unrealistic to me but hey what do I know about French vetinary schools, maybe they get up to wild shit.
Man that dude misinterpreted the fuck out of it. They don't throw it back up. Also what's good girl syndrome? The sexual Awakening part is accurate but it sorta take a backseat
Daniel Robinson
It looks like a videogame because A: that's the only other place you'd see it, and B: it's shot on digital, and everything looks like crass bullshit on digital. The medium's dead, dude, but that's not Gibson's fault.
Landon Ramirez
I was agreeing with you, the point is that asocial people think Europeans might do hazing because they would never be in a position to find out anything different. For all they know, people with social lives are like the Justice League or some shit behind closed doors.
Bentley Barnes
The "good girl syndrome" is what feminists call normal women's not wanting to act like sociopathic bitches for no reason.
Isaac Hill
Of course it does, it might not indicate greatness but it does indicate a good movie. If 90% of people like a movie, not reviewers, regular people, you are very likely to also like that movie because you're a person, you aren't a special snowflake.
Explain to me how its feminist, this'll be good.
Benjamin Rodriguez
Hazing is forbidden in France but it still happens in Belgium. I didn't find the partying unrealistic desu.
Dylan Phillips
They don't. People who study the sciences in a serious way have no time for that shit.
So it's a European movie that hitches itself to the SJW wagon for critical upvotes. Not gonna watch it.
Eli Allen
Who's the cute boy in that pic? He's handsome.
Mason Hughes
No, it genuinely and clearly doesn't. 90% of people have no taste in cinema.
>this'll be good
Wanna know how I know you're a tumblrina who should have been raped harder by her dad?
Daniel Robinson
>discussing movie on Sup Forums youre doing it wrong especially a movie with woman director and woman protagonist
Ryan Harris
kek
Lincoln Taylor
I liked that there were only two instructors in the whole building and the school was just a hedonistic wonderland for the first week of class. It definitely wasn't realistic but it was better than watching the students try to balance partying with academics. If you're trying to rationalize it, then maybe they leave them alone because they took part in the tradition when they were younger and want to keep it going. Her parents clearly knew what was going to be happening.
Jacob Nelson
It's a French movie, the French people watching it probably know whether that happens there for real or not
Mason Ward
>They don't. People who study the sciences in a serious way have no time for that shit. How detached from reality are you?
18-20 year olds fresh into college go partying, in med school, vet school whatever. Are you nuts?
Tyler Price
>I didn't find the partying unrealistic desu. I wish my uni partying was like that
Daniel Butler
>everything sucks but Mel Gibson
It was not a good movie be I don't know why it's still being talked about in this thread.
One month until we get a good rip of Raw. I can't wait to watch it again. My theater only had it for a week.
Aiden Lewis
>They don't. People who study the sciences in a serious way have no time for that shit.
Have you ever met a european science student? If they're not a nerd they'll party hard.
A lot of specialized schools have a first week dedicated to integrating students with almost zero classes.
It happens in Belgium since hazing is forbidden in France and isn't there.
Andrew Lee
It's aimed at the international market, actual French people have little time for feminism.
James Wilson
>90% of people have no taste in cinema. Man you really couldn't fedora any harder if you tried snowflake
Juan Thompson
We're talking about a hazing ritual you stupid piece of shit! Those things only happen in America.
Jose Moore
>Hates it when people put political bullshit in their movies/show >Views a movie through a political perspective where the movie has none
Fucking hypocrites
Michael White
The trailer made it look good, I thought. What it ended up being was better but I still think it has a great trailer. I was immediately interested after seeing it.
Nolan White
Yeah, you liked it because you only got as far as community college.
Julian Perez
>not a nerd
By definition, that's what they all are. Hazing rituals do not happen, stop moving the goalposts, pleb.
Isaiah Taylor
Wanna know I know you need your clitoris torn out?
Christopher Cruz
Nah, it was made solely for political reasons.
Jose Gray
What. Okay I'm going to list a number of movies with high ratings and you tell me how often those ratings match you enjoying a movie.
John wick Toy story Old boy End of watch Godfather Shawshank redemption Gladiator Lord of the rings
I'm kinda hoping you say you hated them all.
Nathan Sanders
Prove it
Zachary Ward
Wrong place to shill feminist shit.
Daniel Campbell
Was the sheet being taken off the dog her disassociating and going to feed or did it have another meaning?
I didn't find the whole waxing scene with her sister that intense. Not sure how people were passing out or throwing up. I was expecting something much worse. The scene where Justine sees the video of herself was by far the most disturbing part to me. For some reason that's one of the scarier moments that I've seen in pretty much any horror movie. I don't watch a lot of them though.
Jose Martinez
I don't understand what you're hoping to prove by this. Those films are all clearly valueless.
Tyler Lopez
Nah dude I'm really smart
Angel Allen
Samefag, nobody's going to watch your lesbian gore movie, stop posting.
Gavin Morales
As might have been expected, individuality is unfathomable to an SJW shill.
Austin Bennett
Oh shit I didn't even consider that. I don't actually understand that scene. Also the scene where she's chewing her hair is list on me, got an explanation?
Adrian Adams
>I went to see the menstruation symbolism movie because I'm smart
Sure thing faggot.
Brayden Sullivan
Haha no worries bro, don't think about.
Hunter Bailey
No they don't. I was hazed in college and I live in Europe
Jace Harris
Why are you answering yourself, bitch? That scene is symbolic of my cock deep in your mom's ass.
Liam Bailey
No you weren't, no you don't, stop shilling the dyke movie.
Caleb Cook
>lesbian picked up
Cooper Walker
No worries, shill.
Eli Flores
Is this shit just trolls trolling trolls?
Henry Ward
Not hot lesbians, actual lesbians. It's aimed at lesbians. It's about how awful it is to have to wash your cunt and not trail blood around your home. Also there's some anti-meat eating propaganda, see if you can spot it lol
Evan Campbell
The movie is French producers exploiting stupid American girls.
Isaac Campbell
>liking genre flicks even pic related laughes at your shitty and childish taste
