limbo Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Sayjann, I enjoyed that a lot. Also liked Band of Brothers a lot, although this was about WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Artie, Heard the Thompson story a few times. There's a very god documentary about the My Lai participants, in which some of them are being interviewed way after the war at heir homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 "ever read the books of marquis the sade? listed as world literature, and he was french. japanese hardcore porn is vanilla compared to his rather graphic destriptions of nightmarish excesses." Funny you talk about Marquis de Sade and the chinese 1000 cuts death penalty in the same post. Sade was indeed an imaginative french writer fascinated by pain, and another of my beloved country prolific death and sex obsessed writer is George Bataille. In his essay "La mort d'Eros" (The death of Eros) he writes a rather long chapter about this execution, adding many pictures. He points out the heavy dose of opium administered to the convict and somehow manages to see a state of pure bliss in his eyes. Quite a stretch when you consider the guy is carried naked publicly tied up on a cross and cut alive into pieces but, hey, our artists were quite good at lyrical insanity. Anyway cruelty is not a japanese monopoly and life would be disapointing without the show of greater suffering next door. Random, be fine, but not too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous_Dog Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 De Sade - ahh, Justine and Juilette, I prefered Justine as a book, what filth is in there, and treated as gold, nothing like a little shit to get a party going according to de Sade! Ironically I bought my copy as a remainder from the Christian Book Store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 "QUILLS", the movie with Geoffrey Rush as Sade, J. Phoenix and Michael Caine, is a very good movie about the ultimate obsession with Sade being writing, not sexual perversion. It is actually a movie about individual vs society, freedom vs moral order and that is what Sade was about. PS: I read 2 Sade's books when i was a youngster. I was both dejected and....Hard! :: :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Sade was from the french nobelty, but despite it, his opened frowning of acceptable moral and social values caused him years in jail, where he wrote several of his texts. Indeed an issue of individual freedom agaisnt moral order and it's likely repression pushed him in his most agressive rantings. Just go figure why I'm interested in the guy... Anybody watched Salo, Pasolini cinematographic adaptation of Sade "Les 120 journees de Sodome"? Impressions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
