Nvm I'm moronic
yeah no fricking shit
>yeah no fricking shit
It's typical French shlock designed to shock you. It was Titane that really made me finally call the French an abomination. Godless, wretched race.
fill me in, what was so crazy about Titane that was worse than most french shock movies?
I had something detailed written out for you, but in the end I'm just so tired of the French. The film develops into something more perverted than the meaningless violence it portrays. It's just very anti-human and frankly disgusting.
Don't listen to this anon, Titane is much tamer than Martyrs, mostly because it has some funny scenes and does not take itself that seriously. Also the gore is like one tenth the amount compared to Martyrs.
modern france is a nation of pseuds, it's almost funny
>torture porn
Reddit phrase, reddit opinion
That mask thing is more gross to me than the flaying.
it’s sort of anti art and that’s the point. humans suffer horribly in life and we justify it with some eventual revelation of meaning or happiness that just isn’t coming (in the eyes of the film). we ascribe meaning or benefit to our pain to cope with the fact it genuinely signifies nothing. they tortured that girl hoping for is insight into the purpose of pain and there was just nothing there. the only rational response to this is suicide. it’s a reversal of the joan of arc story in a lot of ways, she suffered horribly for her beliefs and we assume that her steadfastness and conviction meant something, or was admirable in some way, or was perhaps even rewarded with fame and reverence or happiness in the next life. this film is like the anti joan. just a terrified animal being abused for no real purpose because we have to make sense of the horror that life puts us through. there’s no reward, no saintliness and no meaning to her endurance of the pain. i don’t agree with the message but it’s one that does unironically make you think and become uncomfortable with the implication.
I guess
>don’t agree with the message but it’s one that does unironically make you think and become uncomfortable with the implication.
No it doesn't
People try to give meaning to everything, not just pain, and finding it or not it's a personal quest, not a scientific one, as the results will just be personal
Wrong, the martyr told her the afterlife was beautiful so the leader killed herself to get there faster
you can interpret it that way sure, or that all of this shit was pointless agony and she can now no longer cope with existence
a personal quest is just synonymous with a meaningless one. again, it’s just finding an appropriate coping mechanism that will ultimately fail in the face of reality and death. even if you try to apply nietzsche to this film, it’s already going beyond him and refuting his answer to nihilism. who fricking gives a shit about your brain desperately trying to find a reason to continue existing when all it can conjure is senseless nonsense to dull the fact that you are just an amalgam of moving flesh made to suffer for no particular purpose, and that every person who died in agony for their beliefs is basically a clown sleight of handed by their own unconscious into accepting intolerable conditions by inventing a reason for those conditions. the movie demonstrates how futile that is. like the other anon said, the only positive interpretation is the one where the afterlife was real because, as slight and irrational of a chance that it is in the film, that’s the only way any of the torture is genuinely redeemed. inventing your own meaning for that torture ultimately fails in the face of the facts. the woman either shoots herself because she realises the meaning we give to pain is a pointless doomed exercise that prolongs suffering or she realised the next world will redeem this one. but it’s almost certainly the former
Bro you aren't as smart as you think you are if your hot take is "being tortured is bad and I don't get anything from it!"
>a personal quest is just synonymous with a meaningless one
i have never said this as earnestly as i do now: you are a Non-Player Character.
Problem is, why does leader lady not share this info with the rest of her gang? She rather tells them to keep searching before killing herself, something that does not fit well with either of those options.
perhaps to inflict arbitrary stupid torture on someone else because women are b***hes
maybe the revelation was so fricking horrible that she would rather kill herself and not share the truth to spare the others.
But would it then not be better to tell them to stop searching?
>any kind of gore is le torture porn so you can never have gore because it will always be torture porn
ok moron
it is important for the story
it's very tame compared to reality
I fricking hate this movie but I'm not a dumb moron to dismiss it as worthless braindead trash.
Martyrs may very well reflect the most fricked aspects about humanity, specifically if there are elitist groups that exist primarily to hurt the innocent. The early half is especially strong with how the story builds up to its reveals.
Passion of the Christ is also torture porn, actually high tier torture porn that puts the Hostel tryhard shit to shame
that looks horrible
what the frick is it about?
I refuse to watch Martyrs cause I don't think they'll be any pleasure in the experience for me, sounds gross
all I know is its unanimous how horrid the movie is even here on Cinemaphile that it gets listed in top horror movies every thread
I really enjoyed Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99
I HATED Martyrs. It's that bad.
It really is nihilism: the film.
You're actually a b***h if you won't watch it. "Torture porn" is thrown around too much when it has nothing half as bad as a Saw movie. If you really want to know...
Cult tortures girl and skin her alive so she can experience actual death and tell everyone about it. Upon reveal the cult leader kills herself and no one knows what she was told
If you're wondering why anyone would want to watch it... I don't know, if you can get over the "torture porn" (which is pretty tame compared to most of the shit in the genre), the idea behind the martyrs is kind of interesting.
if only it wasn't also boring
It's about ..........love..........
"BLUT, BLUT, BLUT!"
-taz
5/10 movie with a 11/10 ending, the movie is worth it just for the ending
i used to agree and think it would be better as just a short film since the only really interesting part is how she kills herself after hearing the answer and all the things that could mean, but i think stretching out the torture scenes is to make you really feel it, that if it was just a short cutscene it wouldn't be as visceral so i like it now
yea the beginning part is just to buildup to the ending but it is necessary
if you do not get off on seeing a pretty woman being in pain you are literally a homosexual
I do but only if she's half naked
I can't stand american style of "torture, but cover her nipples!"
The breakfast family massacre was great tho. The older teenager is Xavier Dolan btw.
The whole first act was very kino, better than the gory third act personally.
the worst part about martyrs is how long and boring it is. imagine making what you thnk is the most fricked up torture porn ever done and its just dull fricking garbage instead.
bot comment
It was made for unspoiled first time viewers.
I thought it was shit, it has like one two good moments though
I remember I liked it with criticisms. In general I appreciated it.
I watched this shit while hammered a decade ago and only remembered the home invasion scene. Then proceeded to recommend it to a friend.
>If you unironically enjoyed this movie you are a psychopath.
I liked it and am okay with this.
I'm a psychopath and I find this thread offensive. Take it down please
did i watch the cut version? other than her being repeatedly slapped, everything else in the torture was pretty much offscreen
well the last thing they did to her was pretty severe I'd say
i watched it and i really didn't like it and i found myself yelling at the screen at one point
i'm a hedonist so i hate senseless violence. if it's not comedy or for a dramatic purpose it is upsetting.
it's so brutal with the french dude beating the shit out of a teenager girl and then having a pleasant conversation with his fake wife and colleague. like god damn it's dehumanizing.
really good movie it affected me so much and i often think of it. but i will not watch it again.
I enjoyed it
I remember watching the movie with my father and uncles.
My dad was pretty angry with one of my uncle for choosing the movie.
Mice spacing homosexual
gatekeeping homosexuals
gatekeeping is important you clueless turboBlack person
>gatekeeping on the super popular internet hate machine that anyone can post on without an account is important
lol
go back you homosexual
>newbies
I found this movie so like melodramatic with it's somber guitar music and like also i think just the massive hype around this movie left me so underwhelmed. The end where she was getting beaten for like 20 minutes was super boring
If you think this is just torture porn u dumb homie
>It's pure torture porn
Oh gosh that's so terrible! What are some other horrible movies like this I should add to my list so I can avoid watching them?
I've always thought that showing characters getting endlessly tortured to get a reaction out of the audience is one of the laziest forms of screenwriting, just pointless trash not art. That said Martyrs actually affected me, obviously the theme of sadistic elites inflicting suffering without consequences is really scary but it was the main character's loneliness, the loss of her loving relationships and her identity that really hit me hard.
Is it hot at least? Hostel is torture porn too but some hot scenes.
No, it's a movie singularly devoid of eroticism or pleasure of any kind
Spoilers of all torture scenes, please.
Check your URL you're on Cinemaphile.
The director going "YOU DIDN'T GET IT" over seemingly every review no matter what they said (positive or negative) was hilarious.
came for torture porn, stayed for emotional kino
You're such a b***h sometimes I wish we would go back to gore posting so people like you wouldn't post here
Non-psychopaths don't enjoy watching gore porn. Seek help.
