But anyways...Revolver is by far the most complex and mature out of all of them.thats why I don't understand why So many people hate this movie. I think this is one of guy's best movies so far. and thats saying something. Unless you just want another no brainer, mobster movie, like his other movies. this is the one to go to.

Votes: 1,685
Now i've always been interested in unit 731, so obviously I was gonna watch this movie. Now I really dont understand all the hate being pointed towards this movie. Ya theres no chinese prisonners present in the movie, but everything else was quite informative. I read some other reviews, and most of the time people are complaining about tedious outer building scenes. Come On!!! there not even there for that long!! ya theres a few here and there, but its really not that much of a problem. And how can you be paying more attention to the scenery then everything else thats going on. And I am serious, when I say this is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen. But its not just a bunch A torture for the sake of being a bunch of torture!! these are actually real experiments that where done on prisoners. Come on people!! Well i'm gonna get off my soap box now, before I fill up the whole page with this one comment. Bottom line, if you want to know more about unit 731, you cant go wrong with this movie. except for maybe a few minor problems here and there.

Votes: 5,708
ok, I reeeaaaally hope no one gets the wrong Idea here. Aftermath is deffinitly not a movie I would recommend to anybody. I am not, and never will be, a fan of necrophilia, in real life and in movies. but Aftermath is just....... well I cant really explain it really. I've only seen it once, and thats the number im staying at, but still.... It leaves a haunting impression on you. kinda like a look into what could, and probably already happens in a morgue when nobody's looking.

this movie just blew me away! Hats off to lars von trier for making another movie that is greatly misunderstood.This movies no "torture porn" that some people are spewing on the message and review boards. Its actually a really smart movie. Everything fits in so well. even the self mutilation parts serve a purpose. The whole thing had a haunting feeling, kinda like you can sense the evil........ anyways, if you get a chance, you should deffinitly watch this. But only if you have an open mind.
