i saw it today-it was actually pretty good
there was some talk about people leaving the cinema when
this film was shown in cannes, the same thing happened
here-when the rape of monica belluci was in "session" many
people left-especially females. Film has great sound effects
and some fine music-especially the one in the rectum scene.
And all the fighting seemed real-especially when some guy
trashed some other guys head, and also the scene where some
guy raped miss belluci and then kicked her in the head-never
saw something so real in film before. Anyway the story wasnt
that good, but the way film was filmed is brilliant+music is
pretty good, so i guess it worth seeing it again.

haven't seen it and don't want to. it all sounded very
unpleasant and pretty pointless.

no nothing wrong with liking a film visually..

just the whole violence/rape-thing.. not for me.

almost 10 minutes long

friends told me it was crappy
tolstoyed i think people get out of the cinemas when the guy
get his face smashed by an extinctor, as i heard!
a sex scene and a violent scene seem to be the only two
things present in a poor sxcenario...and i dont like those
actors very much, although vincent cassel was the best in
"the doberman"
:)

yeah, i heard it was terrible and horrible but i went to see
it anyway, and like tolstoyed said it was actually pretty
good. Its hard to explain. Its not like i love extreme
violence but it was interesting to see a movie that is so
different from what you usually see.
The way it is filmed really makes your head spin, and that
combined with 3d sound effects make it to be like a
sickening rollercoaster ride.. and then when its over you
start to think...

i hated la haine so conventional and he HAD to put it in
black and withe...what a loser i mean who is the director

thats so pretentious for nothing, a stupid gang war in
france with losers...the only funny part is when the guys
are yelling down a building for some asterix guy....and i
actually dont know why it made me laugh...what a wast of
time...my god la haine is so stupide

The rape scene in Greenaway's Baby of Macon was pretty damn
long too. Fuck my shit, but he is one fucked up fucking
motherfucker.

I take it this rape scene is a lot more explicit though...

I saw this movie last night and it was hands down THE BEST
movie I have ever seen. It was violent and graphic, but I
don't feel it was in a shock tactic way like the media and
even the director claim. AMAZING.

I liked EVERYTHING about it.
The reason it is my favorite movie is because all aspects
were a 10...

Soundtrack
Editing
Storyline
Acting
Cinematography

Everything was excellent, it really lacked in no area.

i just saw this flick with some mates.
the introducing camera spinning/confusion was a bit too much
but apart from that it was brilliant.
very well made loooong scenes with excellent acting. the
rape scene was disgusting and very good. and very long.
four thumbs up.

not really.

the idea of watching a lot of simulated violence and rape
doesn't appeal to me, strange as that may seem.

and every scene was shot in one piece...

harsh stuff can really fuck me up, as in I will be carrying
it with me for weeks.

even though its just a movie. I just get into it to such a
degree that it really hits home.

for example, I had to put my head between my legs to prevent
me from fainting during the last 10 minutes of "Requiem of a
dream". I really almost went down.

that sure teached me a lesson. :)

seems to me like they were going for the shock value with
this one... imo there is no need for a 10 minute rape
scene...

monica belluci is hot though, but I don't have any desire to
see her being raped...

when they showed it at the tower here in slc I guess there
were people that were so appalled and mindfucked that they
had to be escorted into the lobby, and an ambulance showed
up to administer oxygen to people.
I definitely need to see it. graphic rape scenes are hard on
my female self, but I think this one may be worth the
endurance, yeah?

this movie was clearly not made by people wanting to shock
people for no reason, of course they put a little extra
cream on the rape scene because they want you to really hate
the rapist!

death of innocent civilians in iraq brought on by "the axis
of good" is a far more shocking thing than seing a fictional
scene of rape on a theatre screen. the saddest of all is
the fact that a lot of people prefer to focus their anger on
imaginary social ills such as the "evil" influence of
television on today's youngsters, rather than trying to curb
the real evil at its sourse - the availability of weapons on
the streets of america in this example.

also, it pains me to see the sheer ignorance of the masses
to the issues which plague our human existence. ignoring a
problem doesn't exactly make it go away. rape, murder, child
abuse, drug abuse - those are all facts of life which
society at large does not wish to bother themselves with
becouse of their disturbing nature. a movie such as
'irreversible' ought to be applauded for portraying life for
exactly what it is - imperfect - and not as some sugarcoated
hollywood fantasy complete with silicone-enhanced bottled
blond whores and speedboat racing mutimillionaires. it is
the cartoonish depiction of violence in arnold, bruce willis
and steven segal movies which is worryisome, though you
probably won't be seeing anyone walking out of the new
Terminator movie when arnie blows some poor fella's head to
bits "like it ain't no thang!"

'irreversible' shows that a life taken is not a life you can
bring back. actions have consequences.

I think it's funny everyone thinks this movie is so
violent... ONE person dies.

In your average Hollywood thrill ride hundreds of people
die. The thing that is shocking about this movie is
consequences are shown and a realistic perspective is given
to serious subjects like rape and death and they are shown
in FULL REALISTIC time. Most movies gloss over their
violence, which I feel is more shocking and disturbing.
