Movie: Inglorious Basterds

[Muushka]

As a percentage of the total length of the movie, the amount of violence shown was very minimal (in my opinion). So in describing the movie I wouldn't say it was a violent movie.

Oh. Hmmm. I guess I am the type who can sit through something like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (first movie that popped into my head, but probably not a good example) and not consider it that violent because although there is a lot of shooting, it is quick and not graphic. But the stuff they showed in GB albeit not as often, was so awful I could not even look at the screen. To each his own! Thanks.

In your opinion what was so graphic? The only think I found to be over the top were the scalpings. My wife and I were eating dinner as we watched the first scalping.

Compared to Kill Bill (first volume), the violence was relatively low over the course of the movie.

Scalpings. Nuff said.

Couldn't watch that one either. I know. I'm a wimp.

Could you watch Private Ryan?

Saving Private Ryan is a tough one. While I appreciate the story, the action, the acting (except Hanks, I am the only one in the world who does not like him as an actor), after the first viewing, I could not watch it again. I did shut my eyes at the gory parts. Heck, even as a medical person (lab) when watching the gory medical shows I shut my eyes at that stuff too!

But a movie like Grand Torino, with mild violence, I loved. I don't think I turned my head once during that movie.

I guess I am just not a fan of gore.

But it has been interesting talking about movies with you.
