Irreversible

So, it's very rare...very rare....that I'm ever shocked by anything. And as far as films go, I have never before last night turned my eyes away from a movie. I remember seeing "Boys Don't Cry" and sitting at the edge of my seat; but it was suspense, not shock.

Last night, I'll admit, I was somewhat alarmed by a french movie called "Irreversible". I'll try not to spoil it, but it's a movie filmed backwards (with the end at the beginning...yeah, yeah, you get the picture, I know). And you spend the initial half of the movie wondering what's going on, and the last half learning about the characters. It's an interesting movie to say the least, but there are two scenes in particular that I turned away from. Way to go, it's hard to do. However, there are problems. Like when we get halfway through, you've already gone through such a catharsis, that I didn't even want learn about how the characters were so wonderful before all of the mess. Yeah, perhaps that's the point. And, [**spoiler**] the most evil character in the movie gets away with it [again probably the point of it]. ugh, totally unsatisfied; the story of my life. I could blab on and on, but I won't. Later.
