You like that sort of crap? Which one, BTW? There were two.

I think both the people who make that sort of films, and those who watch them, are sick.
I rate Haneke very low.

Sick like those that enjoy "Psycho?" The original was very good, and in case you - tinear 16:56:04 03/07/10 (3)
missed it, a pretty good commentary on middle-class lives.
Of course, I think it also worked quite fine as a scary little film. What would you do in a similar situation? A film like that could.... save one's life! :-)
- The original what? - Victor Khomenko 17:04:47 03/07/10 (2)
  You confused me with your sentence.
  
  No, more like those who read "120 Days of Sodom". I don't know about you, but watching films like that crap (Funny Games) physically pains me.
  
  I really don't care for any "lessons" I might get from it... I think this is demeaning and in some sense is akin to watching child porn... the only difference being the legality.
  - Haneke's intention in making Funny Games was to massively piss off the audience - Doug Flynn 17:10:35 03/07/10 (1)
    I think he succeeded. But I still think Haneke is a genius (albeit an evil one).
    - Big deal. 35 years ago the very same intention drove Pasolini - Victor Khomenko 17:18:52 03/07/10 (0)
      Was Haneke able to create anything that Paolo has not done already 40 years ago?
      Anything that De Sade has not covered already in his books?
      Of all the human emotions shocking's got to be one of the easiest to evoke.
