DISTURBING movies I saw this weekend

[skydivr]

I saw two very disturbing moves this weekend (REDBOX and Cable):

1) REPO MEN: about two guys in the future who repo 'on the spot' mechanical body parts/organs from people who fail to keep up the payments on them; until one of them ends up with an artifical organ of his own and can't pay for it either. Gross.

2) THE ROAD: about a man trying to help his son survive in a post-apocolyptic world. PAINFUL to watch. The boy is about the age of my daughter. No food, no shelter, starving, cannibalism, no hope. In one scene he actually puts a gun to his son's head, ready to kill him to keep him from getting killed/eaten by people who have lost their humanity. Very tender the man's love for his child and the lengths he will go to to keep his son alive and the painful decisions he has to make.

I gotta stop watching that stuff I end up dreaming about it and it leaves me with no good feelings.

NOTE: The opening scenes of "The Road" were filmed on the road going up to the top of Mt. St. Helens, the same road that Tufbusa and I rode up last year when I went out to visit and ride with him. Nothing standing but dead hulks of trees, and a dead lake filled with timber. Totally fit the scenario of the move.

I loved repomen,awesome movie idea.

The road,well it kinda bored me.Very anti climatic ending.

If you dont toss and turn all night in bed,then the movie was boring.

RSD.

Repo Men was a blatant ripoff of the movie REPO, The Genetic Opera. Repo Men was far more accesible for the average viewer, but REPO was truly unique and disturbing....far more disturbing than Repo Men.

REPO Men was awesome a bit gross and odd yes... but still very good!

When I watch a movie, I tend to put myself in the place of the characters. Repo showed little remorse and even glorified killing which I don't like (unless it's justice/revenge) (and don't ever think is glorious - look at what it's doing to our society as many can't separate reality vs. fantasy).

I kept thinking while watching ROAD was "what if it was me, and what if that was my daughter?"....i am still bothered by it. If you've got a child, you know what I mean about sweating over something happening to them....
