Speaker 1: All right, fellas, all right, tonight, we're watching Irreversible. This
0:23
Speaker 1: is a night two of our bummer movie marathon. So
0:30
Speaker 1: the movie Irreversible came out in two thousand and two.
0:34
Speaker 1: It's somewhat of a rape revenge movie that's shown in
0:36
Speaker 1: reverse order, and it was inspired by the success of
0:41
Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan's movie Memento that came out in two thousand.
0:44
Speaker 1: So we saw that Gaspernoe and he's just like, fuck, yeah,
0:49
Speaker 1: I want some of that money, break me off a
0:53
Speaker 1: piece of act and so he decided to make this
0:59
Speaker 1: movie Irreversible. He made it with Monica Balucci and Vincent Cassel.
1:05
Speaker 1: They met Gaspernoue from partying. I guess they were in
1:08
Speaker 1: France partying. I'm assuming these guys are speaking French. I
1:11
Speaker 1: can understand what the fuck they were saying in this
1:13
Speaker 1: whole damn movie. And it didn't help because the version
1:17
Speaker 1: that I was watching this, I feel like the subtitles
1:20
Speaker 1: had to have been off because they'd be saying shit,
1:22
Speaker 1: and the subtitles would be like saying, you know, I
1:25
Speaker 1: don't know. I was like, wait, what the fuck's going on?
1:28
Speaker 1: So if whenever we get into spoilers, if I got
1:31
Speaker 1: this whole thing wrong, and I didn't understand what was
1:34
Speaker 1: going on at all. That's why. So this is like
1:37
Speaker 1: the third version of the movie, the Midnight Movie Theater
1:41
Speaker 1: interpreted version, where everything's mixed up in the subtitles don't
1:46
Speaker 1: matter because in twenty twenty three version of the movie
1:52
Speaker 1: came out that was called Irreversible straight Cut, and it
1:55
Speaker 1: shows the movie from beginning to end in chronological order
1:59
Speaker 1: instead of the end to the beginning of the story,
2:03
Speaker 1: which is how we see it in the regular version
2:06
Speaker 1: of the movie Irreversible. So this is this is a
2:11
Speaker 1: tough one. I'm just gonna go ahead and let you
2:13
Speaker 1: guys know right now. This is this is a big
2:16
Speaker 1: time rape movie, probably one of the rapist rape movies
2:24
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life. And I kind of
2:28
Speaker 1: had that. I kind of knew about that going into it.
2:31
Speaker 1: You know. But we've watched some rape revenge movies on
2:34
Speaker 1: this show before. We just watched Late Night Trains, we
2:38
Speaker 1: watched Miz forty five, we watched the movie Revenge. I'm
2:41
Speaker 1: I can't remember if there were any more. There might
2:44
Speaker 1: have been some more movies that were, you know, rape
2:47
Speaker 1: revenge type of movies. This is the winner so far.
2:50
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you want to be the
2:52
Speaker 1: winner of that category, but goddamn, irreversible, you won. I
2:58
Speaker 1: don't know if that's something to cheer for. Get a
3:00
Speaker 1: round of applause for that. I guess you do tonight.
3:05
Speaker 1: I guess you do on my show. I don't know.
3:07
Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyway, so this is one of
3:10
Speaker 1: those it's gonna be one of those episodes where it's like,
3:13
Speaker 1: as I'm writing these, I'm thinking of, you know, maybe
3:17
Speaker 1: a clever joke here and there. There was I came
3:21
Speaker 1: up with one, and I elected not to do it,
3:24
Speaker 1: but I'll go ahead and tell you guys, and you
3:26
Speaker 1: let me know if you think it's a good I
3:28
Speaker 1: think it just would have been too much. I was
3:30
Speaker 1: gonna kick the show off regular, like, you know, do
3:32
Speaker 1: a little intro, talk to you guys a little bit
3:35
Speaker 1: about what we're getting into, and then there was going
3:37
Speaker 1: to be a doorbell ring, you know, in the background,
3:40
Speaker 1: and I was gonna be like, oh, who could that be?
3:42
Speaker 1: And then I go and answer the door, you know,
3:44
Speaker 1: and you guys are hearing this. It's a whole bit
3:46
Speaker 1: that that I was gonna have pre recorded and then
3:50
Speaker 1: and then you were going to hear me get raped
3:52
Speaker 1: for nine minutes. Yeah, that's uh, that was the that
4:03
Speaker 1: was the bit that I came up with that. I
4:05
Speaker 1: just was like, you know what, maybe we'll pass on
4:08
Speaker 1: that one today. I just don't know if I could. Uh,
4:15
Speaker 1: I don't know how they did this. So there's a
4:17
Speaker 1: nine minute long rape scene in this movie. We'll get
4:20
Speaker 1: to it in the spoilers. We'll get to it, but
4:24
Speaker 1: it goes on for nine minutes. There's no cuts. The
4:27
Speaker 1: camera just stays right there and holds completely still, and
4:32
Speaker 1: you just sit there for the whole nine minutes and
4:35
Speaker 1: watch Monica Balucci get raped in a subway like a
4:42
Speaker 1: subway tunnel or something. It's pretty Uh, it's a pretty
4:50
Speaker 1: ugly scene. I'll say that, but I don't think I
4:53
Speaker 1: could do that. So hats off to Monica Balucci for
4:56
Speaker 1: being able to do that scene. Apparently they they I
4:59
Speaker 1: think they filmed it it six times over two days.
5:02
Speaker 1: So I couldn't even do it one time for this episode,
5:06
Speaker 1: just just an audio version of it, not even actually
5:10
Speaker 1: seeing it happen. I couldn't. I was like, no, I
5:12
Speaker 1: don't think I could do that. I don't think I
5:14
Speaker 1: could sit here for nine minutes and make the make
5:17
Speaker 1: noises like I'm getting raped for that long. Just just
5:21
Speaker 1: one of those things. I just don't have it in me.
5:24
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, maybe I'm just not cut out
5:26
Speaker 1: to be an actor in a gasp Reno film. The
5:30
Speaker 1: only other gasp rene film I've seen. He clearly has
5:33
Speaker 1: like a very distinct style of just like kind of
5:36
Speaker 1: artsy kind of yeah, like art house. I don't know,
5:40
Speaker 1: experimental movies, I guess you'd say there. The first one
5:43
Speaker 1: I saw was Climax, and this would be the second
5:46
Speaker 1: one now. But I enjoyed Climax for the most part.
5:50
Speaker 1: I you know, there were moments of it that I
5:52
Speaker 1: just cauldn't really get into. But it has one of
5:55
Speaker 1: the greatest dance sequences that I've ever seen in a movie.
5:58
Speaker 1: It's about this dance troop that kind of gets locked
6:02
Speaker 1: in excuse me to this, uh, I don't know what,
6:07
Speaker 1: like an audition type of thing or something like that.
6:09
Speaker 1: They're in this big fucking place that they're going to
6:13
Speaker 1: be staying the night in, and then they just start
6:17
Speaker 1: getting drugged and stuff and doing all sorts of crazy shit.
6:20
Speaker 1: But that movie had some moments in it that I
6:22
Speaker 1: felt like we're probably very gasped or no a esh
6:25
Speaker 1: that I just was kind of like, ah, you know,
6:28
Speaker 1: I could take it or leave it at this point.
6:30
Speaker 1: I think it's mostly the scene. What there's like a
6:32
Speaker 1: scene that goes on for what feels like forever where
6:34
Speaker 1: it's just them talking and they're just kind of bouncing
6:37
Speaker 1: around the room and you're listening into like everyone's conversation.
6:42
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. It's a it's kind of an
6:45
Speaker 1: interesting way to show you, like everyone's state of mind
6:49
Speaker 1: because before that you just see them all dancing and
6:51
Speaker 1: having a great time and doing this really awesome, like
6:54
Speaker 1: choreographed dance sequence, and then you kind of get to
6:57
Speaker 1: see like who they are as people through these through conversations,
7:00
Speaker 1: and you know what, it is pretty good, actually pretty
7:03
Speaker 1: fucking smart way to do that. So yeah, So I
7:11
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see, Maybe we'll watch some more Gaspnoe
7:13
Speaker 1: films later on in life. Probably not gonna watch this
7:17
Speaker 1: movie again for a while. I'm sure I'll be saying
7:19
Speaker 1: that again and again throughout the episode. So this movie,
7:22
Speaker 1: it was influenced by several movies, one of them being
7:26
Speaker 1: a movie called Betrayal, which I haven't seen, but apparently
7:29
Speaker 1: that movie is in reverse chronological order as well. And
7:35
Speaker 1: the idea was that he was going to try to
7:38
Speaker 1: remake that movie Betrayal, but he couldn't get the rights
7:41
Speaker 1: to the movie, so they ended up with this idea.
7:44
Speaker 1: So it was also inspired by a movie called In
7:46
Speaker 1: the Realm of the Senses, which I've heard about, and
7:50
Speaker 1: that is a movie that had I know, it has
7:52
Speaker 1: like real sex scenes in it, and that seems to
7:54
Speaker 1: be something that he was wanting to do, Like when
7:56
Speaker 1: he met Monica Blucci and Vincent Cassell and he was
7:59
Speaker 1: talking to them, he was trying to get them to
8:01
Speaker 1: do a movie like that with like some real, real
8:04
Speaker 1: sex scenes where they're going to be fucking and stuff
8:07
Speaker 1: like that. And they were a couple at the time.
8:08
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't remember if they were married
8:10
Speaker 1: or not, but they were a couple and that's what
8:14
Speaker 1: he wanted. But they turned it down after a while
8:16
Speaker 1: after him showing I guess some ideas of what he
8:19
Speaker 1: had for the movie, and they're like, you know what,
8:22
Speaker 1: let's try a different one, but how about let's see
8:24
Speaker 1: what you got next. And he's like, well, next I
8:26
Speaker 1: have this movie, this idea about a movie called Irreversible.
8:31
Speaker 1: It's a rape movie, and they were like, hell yeah,
8:36
Speaker 1: sounds pretty good. So I guess it's also inspired by
8:39
Speaker 1: I Am Cuba, A Clockwork, Orange straw Dogs, Deliverance, and
8:43
Speaker 1: Death Witch, which I can see a little bit of
8:47
Speaker 1: each one of those in this movie. You can kind
8:49
Speaker 1: of get a feel that that makes sense why this
8:52
Speaker 1: movie was inspired by all of those movies. So let's
8:56
Speaker 1: go ahead and get into the damn spoilers. So when
9:04
Speaker 1: the opening credits hit, everything is written in like the
9:08
Speaker 1: corn font so I thought was pretty cool. I like,
9:14
Speaker 1: every third letter is backwards, and I was like, damn,
9:17
Speaker 1: this mofucker must be a freak on a leak, and
9:22
Speaker 1: I was getting freaked out by it, honestly, cause I
9:25
Speaker 1: was when I was growing up. I was scared of corn.
9:31
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say? I was scared
9:33
Speaker 1: of them. They had dreadlocks, scary Oakley's and Adidas suits on.
9:38
Speaker 1: What's scarier than that? So then, like the row of credits,
9:44
Speaker 1: they start tilting. We see a picture that's slightly spinning around,
9:48
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of flashing names pop up that
9:50
Speaker 1: are like blinking lights. I can't imagine a single epileptic
9:54
Speaker 1: person has been able to watch this goddamn entire movie.
9:59
Speaker 1: There's the other parts like this too that are way worse.
10:02
Speaker 1: So if you're epileptic, do not watch the movie Irreversible.
10:05
Speaker 1: You will be freaking the fuck out. So this movie
10:09
Speaker 1: kicks in and it's pretty dark. You can kind of
10:11
Speaker 1: see like a light flickering on in the outside of
10:13
Speaker 1: a brick building. The camera is just kind of flopping
10:17
Speaker 1: all around over the place. It's like spinning around, twisting
10:20
Speaker 1: all doing all these little jigjag angles. It's crazy. You
10:24
Speaker 1: can see that there's a police or like an ambulance
10:27
Speaker 1: light flashing nearby. Now we're inside a building looking at
10:31
Speaker 1: an old naked dude. He's just kind of sitting on
10:33
Speaker 1: a bed next to some other guy and he's telling
10:36
Speaker 1: this guy, uh, time ruins everything. And then he starts
10:41
Speaker 1: telling that guy that he spent some time in prison
10:44
Speaker 1: because he raped his daughter fucking kidding me. And then
10:51
Speaker 1: they both just kind of talk about this like it's
10:53
Speaker 1: no big deal and how they're going to start living
10:55
Speaker 1: their lives and stuff like that. They're just like, yeah,
10:57
Speaker 1: and now it's time to get on with our lives
11:00
Speaker 1: or something. After I did that, Holy fuck, we hear
11:04
Speaker 1: more sirens and then the camera moves outside to this
11:07
Speaker 1: club downstairs called Rectum.
11:10
Speaker 2: What what what?
11:14
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be allowed to call your club Rectum, no
11:18
Speaker 1: matter what's going on in there. There's one guy that's
11:21
Speaker 1: being brought out on a stretcher. This is Marcus, who's
11:26
Speaker 1: one of our main characters, and we hear someone yelling
11:28
Speaker 1: about how they need their money. I don't know what
11:30
Speaker 1: was going on, but it's just like a lot of chaos,
11:33
Speaker 1: a lot of people yelling. There's other guys getting arrested,
11:36
Speaker 1: and they're just like, I hope you got fucked in
11:38
Speaker 1: the ass in prison. They're like yelling at him, and shit,
11:41
Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't know what's going on yet.
11:43
Speaker 1: We're just like getting thrown right into the mix. Like
11:45
Speaker 1: I said, this is the end of the story that
11:48
Speaker 1: we're seeing right now. This is how it concludes. And
11:52
Speaker 1: then they yeah, they're just like, hope you get fucked
11:53
Speaker 1: in the ass in prison and get AIDS. So they
11:57
Speaker 1: really don't like this guy, I guess. So this whole time,
12:00
Speaker 1: the camera is doing the craziest shit. It's flipping, it's
12:03
Speaker 1: still spinning and stuff. It's very jarring, and it's moving
12:07
Speaker 1: us around kind of like from scene to scene. It
12:09
Speaker 1: feels like sometimes it feels like we're on a roller
12:12
Speaker 1: coaster track, like it's just kind of like really dragging
12:15
Speaker 1: and then it'll pick up speed. It's a lot, I
12:18
Speaker 1: will say that just that alone is a lot. I
12:21
Speaker 1: think that's one thing that was fucking people up about
12:23
Speaker 1: this movie. I was reading that at the Cans Film
12:25
Speaker 1: Festival premiere. Reportedly over like two hundred people walked out
12:29
Speaker 1: of this movie. And I don't think it's only because
12:32
Speaker 1: of the roller coaster track camera, but I could see
12:35
Speaker 1: why that would throw some people off for sure. So
12:37
Speaker 1: now we're in this room with like a red light flickering,
12:40
Speaker 1: the camera is still just going fucking nuts. Occasionally you
12:42
Speaker 1: get a glimpse of some dudes like burning each other
12:45
Speaker 1: with hot wax and having sex with each other or
12:48
Speaker 1: beating off. Yeah, so I guess we're inside the rectum
13:00
Speaker 1: the club, the rectum, not the actual person's rectum. They're
13:07
Speaker 1: not inside of someone's colonoscopy right now, don't worry, guys. So, yeah,
13:14
Speaker 1: this guy that we saw getting brought out on the
13:17
Speaker 1: stretcher he's walking around the rectum asking for someone named
13:20
Speaker 1: the Tapeworm. He's just like, where's the tapeworm? Tell me,
13:23
Speaker 1: where's the tapeworm? Show him to me or something like that.
13:26
Speaker 1: And we see the guy that was in uh or Yeah,
13:29
Speaker 1: we see this guy Marcus, who is the guy in
13:32
Speaker 1: the ambulance. He's talking to some dudes. He's basically just
13:34
Speaker 1: going around this club asking everyone he can if they
13:38
Speaker 1: know where this some man whose nickname is the Tapeworm is.
13:43
Speaker 1: So he's walking around asking all these people at the
13:45
Speaker 1: sex club. No one's really answering him. They're just kind
13:48
Speaker 1: of like jacking off the whole time or butt fudging
13:51
Speaker 1: each other. That's it's a lot, I'll tell you. They're
13:56
Speaker 1: really seriously jacking it in there, and it's not shining
14:01
Speaker 1: away from it at all. There's like a guy like, h, well,
14:06
Speaker 1: we'll just keep talking about the movie and what's going on,
14:08
Speaker 1: because there's more. There's more criminal activity going on in
14:12
Speaker 1: this club that we're about to get into the last
14:20
Speaker 1: place that anybody needs to be, is what I'm gonna say.
14:23
Speaker 1: So anyway, he's getting further down into this club basement
14:26
Speaker 1: and it's starting to feel pretty claustrophobic. The camera is
14:29
Speaker 1: just kind of like tightening in on the shots. The
14:31
Speaker 1: ceilings feel shorter, the walls feel closer. It's just it's
14:34
Speaker 1: not a good vibe, I'll say that. And this this
14:37
Speaker 1: dude's like trying to stop him. He's like, hey, don't
14:39
Speaker 1: worry about the tape for him. Why don't you just
14:41
Speaker 1: stay over here and fist me instead?
14:44
Speaker 2: What?
14:46
Speaker 1: What? Yeah? This guy's like hanging in like a swing
14:49
Speaker 1: with his ass out, just like fingering the fuckhead of
14:53
Speaker 1: his ass. What what? Like what It's like he's trying
14:59
Speaker 1: to fis himself, it seems like, but he's just like
15:02
Speaker 1: holding up Marcus. He's like, way, no, stop, you need
15:04
Speaker 1: to fist me. Fist me now. Marcus is just kind
15:08
Speaker 1: of like, hey, get away from me. You know. When
15:10
Speaker 1: this guy's getting really aggressive about it, he's like he's
15:13
Speaker 1: like playing defense on him in a game of street ball.
15:15
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, fist me, fist me, come on, fist
15:18
Speaker 1: me the ball. And then it just keeps escalating and
15:23
Speaker 1: Marcus grabs the guy in a headlock and starts threatening
15:26
Speaker 1: to beat him with this like glass bottle, like a
15:28
Speaker 1: beer bottle or something, and the guy is still trying
15:31
Speaker 1: to get fisted while Marcus is beating him up. He's
15:35
Speaker 1: still just like, oh yeah, no, no, don't punch my head,
15:38
Speaker 1: punch my asshole, punch your hand up there. I'm not
15:46
Speaker 1: but that's where I want you to beat that thing up.
15:54
Speaker 1: But I've had enough of this fucking movie. So he
16:00
Speaker 1: to this other guy, and I think he's the guy
16:03
Speaker 1: who is the tapeworm, or at least he thinks he is.
16:06
Speaker 1: He starts like getting really like worked up about it,
16:09
Speaker 1: and he's like, are you the tape worm? Youre the
16:10
Speaker 1: tape worm? But there's like so, like I said, the
16:13
Speaker 1: fucking captions were not lining up with what was going on,
16:16
Speaker 1: so I was just assuming what was going on. I
16:20
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, I guess this must be the tapeworm
16:21
Speaker 1: because he grabs that bottle busted over this guy's fucking
16:25
Speaker 1: head and starts trying to fight him. But he quickly
16:28
Speaker 1: gets beaten up by this guy, and this guy who
16:31
Speaker 1: he thinks is the tapeworm, breaks his fucking arm in half.
16:38
Speaker 1: And after he breaks his arm in half, guess what,
16:40
Speaker 1: he starts trying to rape his buttthole. So okay, enough
16:47
Speaker 1: is enough. So the guy that we saw being arrested.
16:51
Speaker 1: This guy's name is Pierre, who he is with Marcus.
16:54
Speaker 1: He's just kind of been like quietly following him around
16:57
Speaker 1: this whole time. He grabs are extinguisher and just crushes
17:03
Speaker 1: the raper's face over and over again until this guy's
17:06
Speaker 1: face is just completely fucking mush, like there's nothing left
17:09
Speaker 1: of his face. He just like stands over him and
17:13
Speaker 1: just crushes him. And it's like one of the scenes
17:15
Speaker 1: that the camera just focuses on, like really intently, where
17:19
Speaker 1: it's just like you're just watching this guy get his
17:21
Speaker 1: face crushed, you know, probably fifteen or twenty times with
17:24
Speaker 1: the fire extinguisher until there's basically nothing left. And when
17:29
Speaker 1: I say the raper, I mean the guy that was
17:31
Speaker 1: getting ready to rape Marcus after he broke his arm,
17:34
Speaker 1: which is crazy work. What are you guys doing in
17:36
Speaker 1: this club? Everyone's just kind of standing around watching with
17:41
Speaker 1: like an amused, kind of like amused look on their faces. Well,
17:44
Speaker 1: we see one guy in particular that has like a
17:46
Speaker 1: band aid on his nose who's like smirking while this
17:49
Speaker 1: is happening, and it's like, what the fuck is that
17:52
Speaker 1: guy's problem? Somebody needs to lock his ass up. Asap,
17:57
Speaker 1: the camera starts moving around again. We hear someone asking
18:00
Speaker 1: where's the Rectum, which is the name of this gay
18:02
Speaker 1: club that we were just at, and we see that
18:04
Speaker 1: we've like jumped ahead. It's again it's Marcus pulling up
18:08
Speaker 1: with the guy that we saw smash the other guy's face, Pierre.
18:11
Speaker 1: Marcus is trying to find this gay bar, and this
18:14
Speaker 1: guy is trying to, uh more or less, get him
18:16
Speaker 1: to calm down, like Pierre is trying to calm him
18:18
Speaker 1: down the whole time, and Marcus is like, Yeah, if
18:22
Speaker 1: we use that kind of energy protecting Alex, maybe everything
18:25
Speaker 1: would still be okay. So we're kind of like at
18:28
Speaker 1: this point, we don't know what happened to Alex. We
18:30
Speaker 1: don't even we haven't even met Alex yet in the movie,
18:33
Speaker 1: but something bad happened to or Okay. So we cut
18:36
Speaker 1: to a little earlier while while they're in the back
18:39
Speaker 1: of this taxi cab. There's just a bunch of yelling
18:41
Speaker 1: about getting to the Rectum, and the driver is telling
18:43
Speaker 1: them like, hey, you got to get the fuck out
18:45
Speaker 1: of the cab. I don't know where the fucking rectum is,
18:47
Speaker 1: motherfucker's He keeps threatening, threatening them with pepper spray, and
18:51
Speaker 1: then eventually he pulls over. Marcus just yanks him out
18:54
Speaker 1: of the driver's seat and takes the pepper spray away
18:57
Speaker 1: from him and sprays the fuck out of the driver
18:59
Speaker 1: with the pepper spray and steals the taxi. So Marcus
19:04
Speaker 1: is looking to get some shit done. He's looking for
19:06
Speaker 1: like quick results. Then we get to an earlier scene
19:09
Speaker 1: with Marcus and this guy talking to these two other
19:12
Speaker 1: guys about how how they know Gyelmo Nunez and I'm
19:17
Speaker 1: not I don't even really remember what any of this means,
19:23
Speaker 1: but these are these are two like big, like bodyguard
19:26
Speaker 1: looking guys. I guess they were actually security on the
19:29
Speaker 1: set of the movie and that's how they got into
19:33
Speaker 1: the movie. They're actually just like, hey, these guys, they
19:35
Speaker 1: look like they would be a great fit for the movie.
19:38
Speaker 1: Get these motherfuckers in there. And I always think stuff
19:40
Speaker 1: like that's really cool. It's kind of like the Bob
19:42
Speaker 1: and twin Peaks story, like how he was just like
19:45
Speaker 1: a set worker and David Lynch is like, get that
19:49
Speaker 1: motherfucker in the show right now, he's gonna be the
19:52
Speaker 1: bad guy. So anyway, they're kind of walking around the
19:56
Speaker 1: streets just like asking prostitutes questions about like how to
20:00
Speaker 1: find this guy or whatever. We find out that whatever
20:03
Speaker 1: revenge she's trying to get has uh has to do
20:07
Speaker 1: with someone that was raped, So we know that much. Yeah,
20:10
Speaker 1: we know that someone got raped and they're trying to
20:13
Speaker 1: find out who did it. So there's like this one
20:17
Speaker 1: hooker that they grab. She says she was there. She's
20:21
Speaker 1: kind of like beat up looking too, or like she
20:23
Speaker 1: has like a black eye and a busted lip and
20:25
Speaker 1: stuff like that. He Marcus is getting like all worked up,
20:29
Speaker 1: asking her a bunch of questions about what happened, and
20:31
Speaker 1: then he starts trying to smack her a bunch. I
20:34
Speaker 1: don't exactly know what's going on, but she pulls up
20:37
Speaker 1: her dress and shows them that she has a little dick.
20:42
Speaker 2: What what what? What?
20:48
Speaker 1: Yeah? And then he pulls a knife on her and
20:50
Speaker 1: starts asking like what happened and shit, because apparently this
20:53
Speaker 1: hooker was a room I don't even know. I think
20:56
Speaker 1: I got this part mixed up, but it sounds like
20:58
Speaker 1: this hooker was a roommate of whoever they're looking for, maybe,
21:02
Speaker 1: or like she has a connection to him or something
21:05
Speaker 1: like that. But before they can get any more answers,
21:08
Speaker 1: they get run off by a whole gang of hookers
21:10
Speaker 1: and they jump into the taxi cab that we saw
21:12
Speaker 1: them in earlier, the guy with the pepper spray. The
21:15
Speaker 1: next scene is the guy that's been through all of
21:17
Speaker 1: this with Marcus, being questioned by some police about if
21:20
Speaker 1: he was quarreling with Marcus. He's like, no, no, me
21:23
Speaker 1: and Marcus are good. That'll kind of make sense later
21:27
Speaker 1: on too. Then this cop just kind of takes his
21:29
Speaker 1: number and lets him go. This is where we see
21:32
Speaker 1: that two dudes. This is where we see them with
21:35
Speaker 1: the two dudes that we saw them with earlier, the
21:38
Speaker 1: two big dudes. This is where they meet them, and
21:40
Speaker 1: they're basically just like, hey, we can the cops aren't
21:42
Speaker 1: gonna do anything to help you guys. We can find
21:45
Speaker 1: the guy that raped Alex and help you guys get revenge.
21:48
Speaker 1: She's like blood for blood and shit, you know, And
21:51
Speaker 1: they're like, you know what sounds pretty good. I don't
21:54
Speaker 1: have anything else to do tonight. Let's go get revenge
21:57
Speaker 1: on this motherfucker. A little earlier before so that we
22:00
Speaker 1: see Marcus and his friend Pierre just walking around the
22:02
Speaker 1: streets partying. When they run into an ambulance loading up
22:06
Speaker 1: a woman. Marcus hears that a whore was beat and
22:09
Speaker 1: sees that the woman on the stretcher is Alex. He
22:14
Speaker 1: immediately bursts into tears and is just repeating her name
22:17
Speaker 1: over and over again and trying to get to her.
22:19
Speaker 1: They pull him away and we cut to earlier on
22:22
Speaker 1: with Alex, and when you see Alex, her face is
22:26
Speaker 1: just like destroyed. I mean, I'm assuming she's alive, but like, goddamn,
22:32
Speaker 1: her face just looks like it's been beat to hamburger. Me.
22:37
Speaker 1: It's pretty bad. She steps out to get a taxi,
22:40
Speaker 1: so this is earlier on with Alex, but some lady
22:43
Speaker 1: says something to her and she starts to head down
22:45
Speaker 1: into this tunnel. It's an underground passage where all the
22:48
Speaker 1: walls are red, like it's lit and red. Almost right away,
22:51
Speaker 1: Alex sees the prostitute that we saw earlier with the penis.
22:57
Speaker 1: She's like getting beat up by this guy with the
23:00
Speaker 1: tape on his nose from the rectum that was smirking
23:03
Speaker 1: about the guy getting smashed with the fire extinguisher. So
23:06
Speaker 1: things are starting to connect right now. This guy just
23:09
Speaker 1: throws that prostitute down and then starts focusing on Alex.
23:13
Speaker 1: He grabs her at knife point, and this is it.
23:17
Speaker 1: This is the rape scene. He rapes her. We see
23:20
Speaker 1: a guy while this is going on, kind of walk
23:23
Speaker 1: around the corner in the distance and just like look
23:26
Speaker 1: for a second and then turn around and leave like nope,
23:29
Speaker 1: not getting involved. I guess this is the reason why
23:32
Speaker 1: people recommend not watching this movie. This scene goes on
23:37
Speaker 1: for so long. Like I said, it's hard. It's hard
23:40
Speaker 1: to tell how long it goes on for when you're
23:42
Speaker 1: watching it. Apparently it's nine minutes. It feels like forever,
23:46
Speaker 1: like you're just sitting there like okay, okay, all right,
23:52
Speaker 1: that's enough, all right, break it up. And at this
23:59
Speaker 1: point it's the only time in the movie where the
24:02
Speaker 1: camera has just held completely still, so the camera is
24:05
Speaker 1: basically at like ground level. She's being held down and raped,
24:10
Speaker 1: and it's just like holy fuck. Gasperne said he had
24:14
Speaker 1: no idea how long the rape scene was going to go, like,
24:17
Speaker 1: he didn't plan for it to be this long. He
24:19
Speaker 1: wasn't really sure. He let Monica Balucci determine this, who
24:23
Speaker 1: essentially directed the scene, and Joe Prestilla, who was a
24:28
Speaker 1: professional French boxer played her assailant. When I asked directly
24:32
Speaker 1: why it had to be so long, Noe responded that
24:35
Speaker 1: that is simply as long as it might last in
24:37
Speaker 1: real life. Sometimes you hear stories of someone being raped
24:39
Speaker 1: for half an hour, and it seemed like the normal
24:42
Speaker 1: timing for a situation like this. So the rape scene
24:46
Speaker 1: was shot six times over two days, each take being
24:48
Speaker 1: one shot from a fixed camera. There was no intimacy
24:52
Speaker 1: coordinator involved, given this profession didn't exist yet. Balucci reportedly
24:57
Speaker 1: watched the films I Spit on Your Grave and Deliverance
24:59
Speaker 1: before shooting. That was something that I was I didn't
25:02
Speaker 1: mention in the opening. I have seen I Spit on
25:05
Speaker 1: Your Grave, but it was so long ago that I
25:07
Speaker 1: don't remember almost anything about the movie. Like I remember
25:11
Speaker 1: we rented it from the video store when I was
25:14
Speaker 1: like maybe in high school. Honestly, I can't even I
25:17
Speaker 1: probably was in high school, but I don't think I
25:20
Speaker 1: was like even sixteen yet, I wouldn't say. It was
25:23
Speaker 1: probably like a freshman or a sophomore or something like that.
25:26
Speaker 1: I can't remember anything about that movie. Apparently the rape
25:29
Speaker 1: scene of that movie is like thirty minutes long. Maybe
25:32
Speaker 1: that's why I don't remember it. I might have just
25:33
Speaker 1: fucking blocked that shit out and just said, you know what,
25:37
Speaker 1: better off without it. Vincent Castle, Monica Blucci's significant other,
25:42
Speaker 1: said he wanted to be present during the shooting of
25:44
Speaker 1: the scene as moral support, but Balucci didn't want him there.
25:47
Speaker 1: According to Castle, she said there was no reason for
25:49
Speaker 1: him to be there and that it would probably be
25:51
Speaker 1: harder for her to work if he was, so apparently
25:54
Speaker 1: he just went off to southwest France and did some surfing,
25:57
Speaker 1: so honestly, probably for the best. And Balucci has expressed
26:05
Speaker 1: no issue with filming the rape scenes. She said that
26:07
Speaker 1: after shooting she would just sit down and have a
26:09
Speaker 1: cup of coffee and think about something else, which sounds
26:13
Speaker 1: like the only thing you could do after shooting something
26:17
Speaker 1: this intense, right, I don't know. It's pretty fucking nuts.
26:22
Speaker 1: It was shot in a real Paris underpass known to
26:25
Speaker 1: be frequented by prostitutes, and it's since been destroyed, so
26:29
Speaker 1: it's not one of those movie set scenes or whatever,
26:32
Speaker 1: one of those movie locations that you can go and
26:34
Speaker 1: visit now and take selfie's in and be like, look,
26:37
Speaker 1: I'm in the tunnel of the movie Irreversible, Look at me.
26:42
Speaker 1: This is where Monica Blucci had simulated rape for nine minutes. Wow.
26:53
Speaker 1: So after the scene's done, the guy he gets up.
26:58
Speaker 1: I guess. The only other thing I read about the scene,
27:02
Speaker 1: it's not even early worth mentioning he's kind of fucking dumb.
27:05
Speaker 1: So I was reading the like, in post production there
27:08
Speaker 1: was like, you know, some post production effects done on
27:10
Speaker 1: the guy's face that got smashed. The only other post
27:13
Speaker 1: production effects was you see this guy's wiener, and I
27:17
Speaker 1: guess it's a digital wiener. I gonna tell there's a
27:25
Speaker 1: lot of fucking like guys jacking off and stuff in
27:28
Speaker 1: this movie, so I just assume, like its probably just
27:30
Speaker 1: his real dick, you know, Like I guess Gaspernoe is
27:34
Speaker 1: in one of the scenes at the gay club jacking off,
27:39
Speaker 1: and he did that, as I guess, like a demonstration
27:42
Speaker 1: to prove that he doesn't have a problem with gay
27:44
Speaker 1: people or something, because there I don't know some of
27:47
Speaker 1: the critics. There is one critic that was saying this
27:49
Speaker 1: movie is like deeply homophobic because the way it portrays
27:52
Speaker 1: gay people, and he was like, no, it's not. I
27:54
Speaker 1: was down there jacking it with him. Bud, you think
27:59
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a homophobe. I was down there jacking it
28:02
Speaker 1: with the gays. Joke's on you, dumb ass. I love
28:08
Speaker 1: gay people and jacking off with what that's gonna get
28:17
Speaker 1: like a sound clipped one day, SoundBite one day. I'm
28:21
Speaker 1: just me saying that. Hell yeah. So anyway, after the
28:27
Speaker 1: guy's done doing that, he gets up and he just
28:29
Speaker 1: starts beating the fuck out of Alex. He just brutalizes her.
28:33
Speaker 1: He like kicks her face a bunch of times, and
28:37
Speaker 1: then he gets on top of her and just starts
28:39
Speaker 1: punching the fuck out of her. And we know this
28:42
Speaker 1: isn't the guy that got his face smashed at the beginning,
28:45
Speaker 1: so the revenge was taken out on the wrong guy. Anyway,
28:48
Speaker 1: it's fucked and yeah, it's the guy that was smirking
28:52
Speaker 1: while the guy was getting his face smashed. So he's
28:54
Speaker 1: probably just thinking like I just got away with that shit,
28:57
Speaker 1: or maybe he's I mean, he's got to be a chopath,
29:00
Speaker 1: so maybe he just enjoys like any kind of chaos
29:04
Speaker 1: or violence or whatever. So then we go to before
29:08
Speaker 1: this and we see Marcus and his friend Pierre they're
29:10
Speaker 1: kind of partying with these hookers and they're doing cocaine
29:14
Speaker 1: in a bathroom. Pierre's like, come on, Marcus, you don't
29:16
Speaker 1: need to be doing this. Don't do this to Alex.
29:19
Speaker 1: But Marcus kicks Pierre out of the bathroom and just
29:21
Speaker 1: starts like kissing on these ladies a little bit. He's
29:23
Speaker 1: like doing drugs with him and kissing him and stuff.
29:26
Speaker 1: But then he heads out to find Pierre. Pierre is
29:28
Speaker 1: a little older, and it's just kind of like rejecting
29:30
Speaker 1: all these women at the party. He's just kind of
29:33
Speaker 1: like there, you know what I mean. He's like, Nah,
29:36
Speaker 1: I'm good. You know, I've already done my fair share
29:38
Speaker 1: of partying. I'm just here for you guys. I'm here
29:41
Speaker 1: for Alex. I'm here for you, Marcus. So that's all.
29:44
Speaker 1: I just want to hang out with you, you folks.
29:47
Speaker 1: And he is just trying to pull Marcus away from
29:49
Speaker 1: all this and back to Alex. He's like, come on, Bud,
29:52
Speaker 1: you're with Alex, Go be with her. Quit being a
29:54
Speaker 1: fucking shit heead, But Marcus is being a shit ed.
29:57
Speaker 1: He's doing like a college bro thing. Now Pierre turns
30:01
Speaker 1: the corner and we see Alex just kind of dancing
30:03
Speaker 1: at this party with some other women, just like casually dancing,
30:07
Speaker 1: you know. Marcus goes up starts kind of like dancing
30:10
Speaker 1: around Alex, like in the same area. Alex goes over
30:13
Speaker 1: to Pierre and starts dancing with him. The whole time,
30:15
Speaker 1: he's just kind of asking her or not to dance
30:17
Speaker 1: with him. I think it seems like these two have
30:20
Speaker 1: known each other for a while, like they talk about
30:24
Speaker 1: some history that they've had together, or at least like
30:26
Speaker 1: that's what it seemed like from this scene, and he's
30:29
Speaker 1: kind of saying stuff like, yeah, you never used to
30:31
Speaker 1: dance like this, you know, you never used to act
30:33
Speaker 1: like this, And so that's kind of where we get
30:36
Speaker 1: these clues of like Pierre and Alex clearly have some history.
30:39
Speaker 1: At first, I thought they maybe were just like longtime friends.
30:42
Speaker 1: He looks like older enough to where I was even
30:46
Speaker 1: thinking like maybe they're I didn't think it was her
30:49
Speaker 1: dad or anything like that, Like it's not that he's
30:52
Speaker 1: not that old, but I was thinking like maybe he
30:54
Speaker 1: was like a mentor or a teacher, you know. I
30:58
Speaker 1: don't know, it was hard for me to figure this
31:00
Speaker 1: out right away. They do explain it. Later on, though,
31:02
Speaker 1: Alex goes upstairs and brings Pierre with her, and she
31:06
Speaker 1: just kind of talks to a bunch of people up
31:08
Speaker 1: there and explains that she's at the party with Marcus
31:10
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Marcus or no, not Marcus. Alex
31:16
Speaker 1: is upstairs. Like when she's talking to people, she really
31:18
Speaker 1: focuses in on this like pregnant lady and starts talking
31:21
Speaker 1: to her about her pregnancy and her baby and stuff
31:23
Speaker 1: like that, and seems really interested and talking with this
31:27
Speaker 1: lady and stuff. So they're kind of hanging off, having
31:29
Speaker 1: somewhat of a like a private conversation upstairs, like there's
31:32
Speaker 1: people around, there's still music playing, but they're kind of,
31:35
Speaker 1: you know, having a one on one. Marcus interrupts the
31:38
Speaker 1: conversation just by like touching all over Alex and stuff.
31:42
Speaker 1: He's clearly very fucked up, and she's like, hey, I'm
31:44
Speaker 1: all good on this party and shit like that. I'm
31:47
Speaker 1: completely sober right now, and you're all fucked up on
31:49
Speaker 1: pills and booze and cocaine. And he just keeps acting
31:52
Speaker 1: like a turd around her, and she's like, all right,
31:54
Speaker 1: I'm going to go home now. This is too much
31:56
Speaker 1: for me. She tells Pierre by and starts to head out,
32:00
Speaker 1: and Pierre kind of tries to leave with her. He's like, hey,
32:02
Speaker 1: why don't I just go with you? But she's like, no,
32:04
Speaker 1: can you just stay here and take care of Marcus
32:06
Speaker 1: and make sure he doesn't do anything fucking stupid and
32:08
Speaker 1: gets home safe because he's all fucked up. Now we're
32:11
Speaker 1: at an earlier scene with Marcus, Pierre and Alex. So
32:16
Speaker 1: the thing after that party scene, you know where that
32:19
Speaker 1: leads to, like, since we're watching a movie in reverse order,
32:22
Speaker 1: it's just really, you know, it just keeps getting darker
32:27
Speaker 1: really where you're just like, oh damn, things could have
32:31
Speaker 1: turned out so much differently. But anyway, we're at an
32:33
Speaker 1: earlier scene with Marcus, Pierre and Alex. They're like on
32:36
Speaker 1: a train. She's telling them about a book she's been reading.
32:39
Speaker 1: There's some talk about how destiny is predetermined and how
32:42
Speaker 1: she's been having like all these prophetic dreams and stuff
32:45
Speaker 1: like that, and they're just kind of listening and throwing
32:49
Speaker 1: in their two cents every once in a while. Then
32:51
Speaker 1: the three have about a ten minute conversation about having
32:54
Speaker 1: sex and coming and stuff like that, and this is
32:58
Speaker 1: where we find out that Pierre and Alex used to
33:00
Speaker 1: be together, or at this point I was thinking, like, okay,
33:03
Speaker 1: at least they used to have sex together. But now
33:07
Speaker 1: she's with Marcus and they're they're like a threesome of friends,
33:12
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they're all three friends now.
33:14
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, It's kind of like an
33:16
Speaker 1: episode of the show Friends. It's kind of what this
33:20
Speaker 1: movie's turning into right now. If maybe like Pierre is
33:24
Speaker 1: Ross and you know, Alex is Monitor not Minica Rachel,
33:30
Speaker 1: and Marcus is Joey. It's kind of like that if
33:36
Speaker 1: you think about it. The next scene is Marcus and
33:38
Speaker 1: Alex lying in bed together. Pierre calls and said he's
33:41
Speaker 1: had some car troubles, so they're gonna have to take
33:43
Speaker 1: the train or the metro to the party. So that
33:49
Speaker 1: that's a whole nother thing where it's like, okay, So
33:51
Speaker 1: that's why Alex ended up going to the underground tunnel
33:54
Speaker 1: anyway after the party. I guess she could have got
33:58
Speaker 1: a cab, but I'm not sure what that lady said
34:00
Speaker 1: to her that made her end up deciding like, oh,
34:02
Speaker 1: I guess I better go through the tunnel again. She
34:05
Speaker 1: wakes up and says she had a weird dream she had.
34:08
Speaker 1: She said she had no feeling in her arms, and
34:10
Speaker 1: she was walking through a tunnel that was completely red
34:14
Speaker 1: after the tunnel, after that, the tunnel broke into two pieces,
34:18
Speaker 1: and then we This is where we find out that
34:20
Speaker 1: Alex and Pierre were actually married. So they kind of
34:25
Speaker 1: talk about how like Marcus is kind of complaining. He's like, ah,
34:28
Speaker 1: I don't want to hang out with your ex husband
34:30
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and she's like, why he loves you,
34:33
Speaker 1: like he wants to be her friend and stuff like that,
34:34
Speaker 1: and she's like he's like, I know, but God, damn,
34:38
Speaker 1: I don't want to hang out with his ass though.
34:39
Speaker 1: God especially like most of the time they're just talking
34:42
Speaker 1: about coming and stuff and making Alex come and stuff.
34:47
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just one of those things where
34:48
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, what, good on these guys for
34:52
Speaker 1: having these open conversations. I think I would be like, no,
34:56
Speaker 1: thank you, not tonight.
35:00
Speaker 2: What.
35:02
Speaker 1: But I think they're mostly talking about how I mean,
35:05
Speaker 1: I don't know if this makes it any better or not,
35:07
Speaker 1: but I think they're mostly talking about how Pierre couldn't
35:11
Speaker 1: make her come because he was always too focused on
35:15
Speaker 1: trying to make her come or something like that. Why
35:20
Speaker 1: doesn't make it any better, to be honest, It's just,
35:22
Speaker 1: you know, it's just is part of the movie and
35:24
Speaker 1: the uncomfortability of it all. So Marcus starts bowling raspberries
35:29
Speaker 1: on her armpits for making him hang out with her
35:31
Speaker 1: ex husband, and then he kind of starts like spitting
35:33
Speaker 1: at her, but it's like done in a really playful way.
35:35
Speaker 1: It's like he's almost like mock spitting at her, I think.
35:38
Speaker 1: And then there's a pretty long section where they're just
35:40
Speaker 1: kind of being intimate with each other. Alex asks Marcus
35:44
Speaker 1: what if I were pregnant at some point, and he says, well,
35:48
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be so bad, And then she takes a shower.
35:51
Speaker 1: He goes off to buy a bottle of booze for
35:53
Speaker 1: the party. One thing that's really noticeable is that the
35:57
Speaker 1: camera has completely calmed down to just like a normal,
36:01
Speaker 1: normal angles, a normal pace. Ever since the tunnel scene,
36:05
Speaker 1: pretty much everything after that has seemed like a normal movie,
36:09
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Although this movie is supposed
36:12
Speaker 1: to look like it's been done in one long shot,
36:14
Speaker 1: like it's most of the scenes I think they said
36:17
Speaker 1: the party scene was the hardest one to film and
36:19
Speaker 1: took like twenty takes or something like that, because they
36:23
Speaker 1: are doing each section in one long shot. So it
36:27
Speaker 1: is really an interesting piece of work if you're looking
36:31
Speaker 1: at it from that point of view, like from just
36:33
Speaker 1: a filmmaker's point of view or whatever, and a technical
36:37
Speaker 1: at the technical side of things, it is. It's an
36:39
Speaker 1: interesting piece of work, right what what? So, after Alex
36:46
Speaker 1: gets out of the shower and Marcus is off getting
36:49
Speaker 1: his bottle of booz, she takes a pregnancy test and
36:52
Speaker 1: finds out that she is pregnant. But this is after
36:58
Speaker 1: Marcus is gone. You know, she's being lit and red
37:01
Speaker 1: throughout this scene, so it's all kind of ominous and
37:04
Speaker 1: maybe foreshadowing and maybe her dreams are telling her you know,
37:08
Speaker 1: what's to come and stuff like that. Obviously, this makes
37:12
Speaker 1: everything that happened earlier much heavier as well. And they
37:16
Speaker 1: don't actually like show you that she's pregnant. They don't
37:18
Speaker 1: show you the pregnancy test. She never says it out
37:20
Speaker 1: loud throughout the movie, but her reaction pretty much says
37:24
Speaker 1: it all like someone who found out that they weren't
37:28
Speaker 1: pregnant wouldn't react this way. Even if they were happy
37:31
Speaker 1: about it, they would be I think that's just something
37:33
Speaker 1: that if you've experienced that, you know what I'm talking about.
37:37
Speaker 1: This cuts to Alex lying in bed with her hand
37:40
Speaker 1: on her stomach. The camera pans passed her and are
37:44
Speaker 1: like up the wall, and we see a poster of
37:46
Speaker 1: two thousand and one A Space Odyssey. And this was
37:48
Speaker 1: just a little shout out to Stanley Kubrick, obviously, and
37:52
Speaker 1: it's the poster that has the picture of the baby
37:55
Speaker 1: in space on it, so that also is connected with
37:58
Speaker 1: some of the themes in this movie, obviously if she
38:00
Speaker 1: is pregnant. Now we're with Alex at a park. The
38:03
Speaker 1: camera is upside down and she's reading a book called
38:06
Speaker 1: An Experiment with Time or something like that. I was
38:09
Speaker 1: trying to read the cover. It's kind of hard to tell,
38:11
Speaker 1: but I had a feeling, since time is brought up
38:15
Speaker 1: throughout this movie, it's something like that. There's a bunch
38:17
Speaker 1: of people laying out on beach towels. There's kids playing
38:20
Speaker 1: in sprinklers. The grass is very green, and the camera
38:24
Speaker 1: just kind of flies into the sky at this point,
38:27
Speaker 1: looks right down on the sprinkler and with like the
38:30
Speaker 1: kids running through it and just starts spinning out of control.
38:33
Speaker 1: It just keeps spinning faster and faster, and the camera
38:36
Speaker 1: starts to fade into this white light that starts strobing
38:40
Speaker 1: hard as hell, right in my goddamn face. So then
38:46
Speaker 1: we get a message in French that says time destroys everything,
38:50
Speaker 1: and then we get the credits. I might look it
38:56
Speaker 1: up real quick, because in the forward version, the straight verse,
39:00
Speaker 1: there was a different message that showed up there. Let
39:05
Speaker 1: me see if it says that real quick. So actually,
39:11
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm gonna be able to find
39:12
Speaker 1: that very quick. Oh wait here it is. Oh it's
39:17
Speaker 1: right here. Time reveals Everything is what the straight cut
39:22
Speaker 1: version says, and it still appears at the end of
39:32
Speaker 1: the movie, but just a little slightly different messages there.
39:36
Speaker 1: It's still about time obviously, but you know, time reveals everything,
39:42
Speaker 1: Time destroys everything. So whatever, take that however you want,
39:50
Speaker 1: I guess. And this is a tough one to rate.
39:54
Speaker 1: It's a tough watch, for sure. The rape scene is
39:57
Speaker 1: a lot. But the positive take way is that it
40:01
Speaker 1: really puts in perspective how ugly the act of rape is.
40:05
Speaker 1: I can't imagine sitting through that scene. Again, most of
40:10
Speaker 1: the movies I've watched with rape in it, they usually
40:13
Speaker 1: cut away or they imply it, and it's still very
40:16
Speaker 1: effective and impactful. But the way this movie holds on
40:20
Speaker 1: it for a realistic amount of time is very unsettling.
40:24
Speaker 1: I don't know how else to say it. So I
40:27
Speaker 1: get why people were messaging me saying like, hey, you
40:31
Speaker 1: probably don't even want to watch this fucking movie. You
40:33
Speaker 1: could probably skip it. You know, that was never my plan.
40:37
Speaker 1: I'm curious enough. I guess to watch whatever movie as
40:41
Speaker 1: long as it's a movie. I don't, you know, I
40:44
Speaker 1: don't really like real stuff. They were saying that, like
40:48
Speaker 1: the gore scene where the guy gets his face matched
40:50
Speaker 1: was inspired by like a movie that Gaspernoue had of
40:54
Speaker 1: like real life death and stuff like that, like people
40:57
Speaker 1: getting killed for real, and so that's something that I'm not, like,
41:02
Speaker 1: not real into. Try to avoid that stuff about as
41:04
Speaker 1: often as I can. It's kind of crazy thinking that,
41:07
Speaker 1: like nowadays, if you're just on like Facebook or Instagram,
41:10
Speaker 1: you'll see like faces of death type of shit just
41:14
Speaker 1: like pop up out of nowhere. You'll just be looking
41:17
Speaker 1: at like funny reels or something, and then the next
41:19
Speaker 1: thing you'll see is like a car accident or a shooting,
41:23
Speaker 1: and it's like, Okay, well that's the not what I
41:28
Speaker 1: was expecting today. What I didn't think I was going
41:32
Speaker 1: to see somebody fly through a wind shift today while
41:36
Speaker 1: I'm you know, just getting my breakfast ready. So anyway,
41:40
Speaker 1: I'll just go ahead and give this movie three and
41:42
Speaker 1: a half gay sex dungeons out of five. Probably not
41:52
Speaker 1: Probably not gonna revisit this one anytime soon. For next week,
41:58
Speaker 1: we're watching the movie Quilliam for a Dream. I've never
42:02
Speaker 1: seen this one before, but from what I've read online,
42:05
Speaker 1: a lot of people were really depressed after watching it
42:08
Speaker 1: for weeks after watching it, in fact, is what I
42:11
Speaker 1: was seeing, so wish me luck. Also, it has one
42:16
Speaker 1: of the greatest actors from the movie Morbius and the
42:20
Speaker 1: Tron sequel, the recent Tron movie in it the reboot
42:24
Speaker 1: or whatever, the one and only sex criminal himself, Jared Leto.
43:07
Speaker 2: No no, no, no no no of of do b
