disapproval towards george w bush’s
administration with regards to the war
on terror and the invasion of iraq
following the September 11th attacks not
knowing what to do mr. Bush just sat
there and continued to read my pet goat
with the children among his many
shocking assertions more connected the
Bush’s to Saudi Arabian nobility and
even the bin Laden’s people on both
sides of the political coin were
incensed by supposed errors and
misleading info major combat operations
in Iraq have ended number nine Last
Tango in Paris
detailing an anonymous affair between an
older widower and a young French girl
this x-rated Bernardo Bertolucci flick
was met with moral indignation due to
its visceral sometimes humiliating sex
scenes particularly an infamous sequence
involving butter whole institution and
debris collection savages although it
broke barriers and earned two Oscar nods
both Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider
admitted to feeling raped by the
production and all copies in the
directors native Italy were ordered
destroyed
you cheap god damned and godforsaken
whore I hope you’ll rot in hell number
eight
Antichrist critics agree this lars von
trier film is beautiful but they’re
split about its content in fact at its
premiere four people fainted
Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg
play a couple dealing with the grief of
losing their young son but the wife
spirals out of control resulting in
mutilated body parts disturbing sex and
far far worse hit me Denis no grotesque
yes misogynistic maybe but many consider
it a McCobb masterpiece well you don’t
have to understand me just trust me
number seven sallow or the 120 days of
sodom torture rape and other atrocities
at the hands of world war ii fascists
make this pier paolo pasolini film
politically volatile but it’s more
disturbing than you can even imagine my
job based on a marquis de sade oval it
follows kidnapped youths as they do
their captors depraved bidding which
includes sexual perversions shitty meals
and horrific murders as he was murdered
before its release Pasolini didn’t see
the film banned in several countries
number six a Serbian film this
appropriately titled Serbian horror
flick was banned in countries across the
world mainly due to its taboo shattering
content murder check as much sexual
violence as you can fit into one film
check newborn rape unfortunately also
check following the story of a porn star
who ends up in a snuff film this movie
has been called torture porn by some and
a statement on the viciousness of the
Serbian government by others you be the
judge
well bobble Bobble but out what number
five Cannibal Holocaust if you think the
worst thing in this movie is cannibalism
you’re sorely mistaken
a documentary group goes missing in the
Amazon and when their footage turns up
questions emerge as to who the real
savages are they wonder who the real
cannibals are with brutal gang rapes
real animal cruelty and other
unimaginable brutality this film’s
realism copy attention of audiences and
got the director arrested on obscenity
charges and accused of murdering his
cast things like this happen all the
time in the jungle it’s survival of the
fittest
number four The Birth of a Nation
propaganda tends towards controversy and
films like triumph of the will
even more so The Birth of a Nation is
another such film which glamorized the
Ku Klux Klan and demonized
african-americans
when it was released
audiences rioted and it was protested by
the n-double-a-cp
for its heroic portrayal of Klansmen and
its use of blackface
however for better or worse it’s
considered a landmark in American cinema
number three The Passion of the Christ
religion is taboo and films about
religion are heavily scrutinized though
Mel Gibson’s was not the first Christ
based film to incite controversy the
firestorm he started was one of biblical
proportions
recounting the last 12 hours in the life
of Jesus
Gibson’s film is brutal visceral and
gory featuring a 10-minute long vlogging
scene among other acts of violence even
worse many claim it’s biblically
inaccurate and anti-semitic number two
The Exorcist this flick about a young
girl possessed by the devil was so
disturbing theaters provided barf bags
we’ve all seen the head spinning spider
walking and projectile vomiting but it’s
the fact that such obscene language and
acts are coming from a child that makes
it so unsettling okay okay even worse
the religious implications and
suggestions of subliminal messaging
earned the Exorcist its reputation as
the scariest movie ever the power of
Christ compels you number one a
Clockwork Orange
along with movies like straw dogs and
Bonnie and Clyde this x-rated Stanley
Kubrick flick is credited with making
extreme on-screen violence more
acceptable the chronicle of a
remorseless group of narrow duels that
commits unspeakable acts for shits and
giggles includes several graphic and
protracted rape scenes among its many
sins Kubrick was so sickened by the
blowback and copycat crimes he withdrew
the film from distribution in Britain
