Quickly: bans exist in public distribution for a reason, I actually don't have a strong opinion for or against bans in general, but every country has "entertainment" restrictions for good reasons, it's only when the restrictions are too harsh that I take offence to them. Human centipede is a piece of trash from a sick mind with no worthwhile contribution to life. So if it's banned, as was said jokingly before, nothing of value was lost. again quickly, lots of laws and bans and bahblahs exist in many countries , you can argue that they are good or bad (eg threads about china or usa) and varying people will have varying opinions. you say this law is only bad when...wait for it....YOU disagree with it. you know what else i think is a piece of trash? all anime. and pornography. and xfactor. and dexter (show about a serial killer, geez people must be sick to watch this). infact talk to some ex-communist nationals and they will say all forms of TV entertainment detract extremely from life, and should be banned. fact of the matter is people effortlessly relinquish control of their lives to a higher authority, always justifying it with crap like "oh its not that bad, come on grow up". what. do. people. do. about. it? what do people do about their issues and problems? let me tell you: NOTHING. they lie down and accept it. they complain and whine and argue but they NEVER EVER take action. you can look at so many of the world's problems and step back and think "geez...if all those 100 million people living together with the same blood and back yard all united - even to just send one big ass letter with 100 million signatures - they could bring change." but no. people bury their heads in the sand and think everything is as it should be because thats the way the world works and they have never experienced change, a revolution, or the importance of solidarity and the fact that we as human beings live together on this world and not in little boxes with one antenna mouth-feeding us entertainment and another antenna feeding us the laws and ideals of a sick and greedy minority. | ||

Horrible films that just don't need any more publicity. you know what, maybe if the Uk didnt ban this and 1 million people went to see this film and were sickened by it and had to walk out after 5 minutes..........HOLY MOLY whats that, did people just take responsibility for themselves????

The problem here is that Human Centipede1 Is completely different from Human Centipede2(The full sequence) in that There is little attempt to portray any of the victims in the film as anything other than objects to be brutalised, degraded and mutilated for the amusement and arousal of the central character, as well as for the pleasure of the audience" So according to them this movie just merely displays the view of the protagonist with little story involved. Just us(the viewer) watching some sick pervert have his way with some people. I have little object to the 1st because according to the reviews I've read it actually told a story. | ||

you know in most countries the child learns not to drink infected water at a young age or he dies? and you have the nerve to say you're scared of your precious children sneaking into a cinema with their $30 shoes that the infected water children made and watching a naughty movie ? get some perspective, get some responsibility. and hey arent there scenes from ANY 18+ flick that you wouldnt want your kids to see, regardless of whether its a porno or action or horror or whatever? you know i havent seen HCII but there are some pretty disturbing scenes in stuff like Ghost Ship , Rambo, Alien 4 too arent there? *rolls eyes* just think about what you're saying. "i wouldnt want my kids sneaking into the cinema and seeing this by accident". geez get a clue. edit: wait who was i replying to? someone anyway | ||

You assume then that pornography is ok, snuff films are ok, etc. All this based on the fact that we're being raised within boundaries of Western civilization and don't have to learn about not drinking infected water? Just look at what HC2 tries to portray here. I don't mind horror movies, but this goes beyond anything and gets too close to the actual snuff film with some mixed in sado-masochistic motives. Would you please tell me why any sane person would want to see this? | ||

you know in most countries the child learns not to drink infected water at a young age or he dies? lol Okay in what fucking way does this have any relation to a child watching something they shouldn't We are not talking about survival here.. I just find that funny that you think thats a valid argument because it shows how your logic works or doesn't rather. and hey arent there scenes from ANY 18+ flick that you wouldnt want your kids to see, regardless of whether its a porno or action or horror or whatever? you know i havent seen HCII but there are some pretty disturbing scenes in stuff like Ghost Ship , Rambo, Alien 4 too arent there? Again here making nonsensical relations. How can you compare such graphic images of a man raping a woman with barbwire on his dick to action scenes in Rambo. Obviously theres no point in continuing even discussing this with you since you clearly have no idea how to make an solid argument. | ||

Because the killing is bloodless and is "hidden"? How is that a good idea? Isn't that just teaching the kids, and people of similar mental development, that killing is neat and tidy? I never thought overprotecting was a good idea. I had my first contact with sex/people having sex/images etc. of people having sex at age of 10 (or less, it happened a long time ago). I didn't receive any permanent mental scarring. Just put an adult tag on the film but I don't see why any film should be banned. | ||

I tell you what. After watching The Human Centipede part one I was like woah, that shit was crazy lol. After watching A Serbian Film, the best way to describe my feelings were of betrayal. I felt like apart of me died inside as if I'd been stripped of my humanity. I cannot stress enough the despair I felt upon watching this movie. Having said that it was a really good film. The acting, cinematography, location, story telling, plot progression, individual main characters and the place these characters had within the storyline (which the true nature is fully revealed in the end by the plot twist) was actually really good. I know some will read this post, read what A Serbian Film is about and be horrified and disgusted by its content etc. But I knew what I was getting myself into. I like movies that move me emotionally, that have depth etc and this movie had it all. Instead of evoking good emotions that we like such as happiness or love, this movie brought out the extreme opposite. Sure the vast vast majority of people don't want to feel these feelings when they watch a movie, and if you don't, then don't watch the movie. But I wanted to experience these emotions and what better way to do so in the privacy and safety of my own home, and by a movie that ticked all my boxes for a good movie. I don't think movies like The Human Centipede or A Serbian Film should be banned to the general public. There should be warnings and restrictions in place (like 18+). But if I want to watch a movie that evokes such negative feelings, as an adult I should be able to make a decision weather or not I want to expose myself to it or not and not have my government tell me I can't view something. And just to clarify, watching A Serbian Film was not easy. Infact I almost threw up during one of the scenes from sheer disgust. But in the end it's only a movie. No one got hurt and it's been about 6months since I watched it and I'm fine. Upon reflection it actually was an incredible experience to have a movie evoke such real emotions that I have never felt before. I know it sounds sadistic but I enjoyed the movie due to this. Having said that though, I'll never watch it ever again. It was undoubtedly one of the most negative experiences I've ever had, but that's exactly what I was after. And fuck me did I get it...hard. | ||
