In Reply to: The HERO of the movie cuts off a man's arms and legs.... posted by tinear on September 29, 2005 at 13:46:06:
The main question in the viewer's mind should be whether there was moral justification in view of the serial murderer's cruelty.>>> "yeah, that's a healthy cartoon alright" <<<
The movie wasn't a "cartoon" but rather a dramatized study of 30's & 40's style pulp violence (ala The Spider, The Shadow, Operator #5, Doc Savage, etc.) displayed via a noirish rotoscoped technique that recreates graphic novel imagery.
>>> "If you find pleasure in watching humans torturing and severely injuring one another,..." <<<
Keep telling yourself it's only a movie, ...it's only a movie, ...it's only ...! :o)
>>> "Don't make light of the fact that the hero of the film is the torturer, either. I can't think of another film wherein we're asked to look upon a sadistic torturing murderer as the "good guy."" <<<
TV - Spike & Angel in both Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel (redeemed in a manner of speaking, but still having a history of committing torture); one of the two main characters identifiable as "good guys" in the new HBO series Rome is now a torturer/killer
Movies where leads are both capable torturers & (in some caes, arguably) the "good guys" - Frankenstein (orig., Boris Karloff), The Godfather series, Dirty Harry series, James Bond series, The Usual Suspects (sorry, no spoilers), Kill Bill Pt.s I & II, From Dusk 'Til Dawn, Interview with a Vampire, etc., and this is just off the top of my head!
