Depravity

[InChrist]

Did you literally just now realize that horror movies exist?

No, but I already said I highlighted Disney because they were originally considered a family friendly company, but have now drifted very far from their founder; Walt Disney. This just seems like a reflection of the over cultural decline. As well, I think a movie about a guy who seduces women for the purpose of carving them up for cannibalism takes entertainment to a deeper form of degradation.

Disney as a brand still produces family friendly movies, but Disney is more than a brand it's a conglomerate and under other brands produce basically all the TV and movie entertainment you can think off. Disney bought many other studios which produced a variety of movies and still do. Some are horror movies. Their two most successful acquisition are the Marvel Studio which produces blockbuster superhero movies (most of which are rather family friendly) and Lucas Art which produces Star Wars movies and Tv series (most of which are rather family friendly too).

As the culture sinks further into depravity, even Disney the once family-friendly company, is now producing a new movie with degrading evil. Does this surprise you or are you already desensitized to this type of content?

”Fresh, the new horror film to be shown on Disney-owned streaming platform Hulu, has been panned by critics who were stunned by the film's unexpectedly gory plot: a serial killer cannibal who carves women up after seducing them and sells their body parts to rich people to eat.”

As someone who likes genres such as crime, crime horror / thriller, I might enjoy this movie as well. Seems different that Disney would produce the film as I am used to them doing family friendly films and animation.

The film is not real. However, horrible crimes such as killing and cannibalism does happen in real life. It is important to know ways to stay safe in life and in the dating world if someone is dating others. Definitely would say with the film, viewer discretion is advised.

Actually, it doesn’t depict the Gospel events accurately, but adds a lot of unbiblical scenes. So I chose not to see it...although it was the big fad at the time and our pastor insisted everyone must see it.
The Gospel accounts do indeed show the depravity of humanity, but it’s not intended for entertainment. Rather, to reveal our sinful condition and need for a Savior.

You didnt see the events, you didnt see the
movie but it was inaccurate.

First, it isn't Disney. It is Hulu. The two have different audiences.

Second, have you ever heard of Sweeny Todd? It's an old story from the 19th century involving luring people in, killing them, and selling the meat in meat pies. It was made into a movie in 2007. So the current movie is not anything new.

Third, if you want really horrifying content, from incest to killing people to genocide, you can't get much more extreme than the Bible.

Fourth, the types of movies allowed today are *much* milder in many ways than what was common 50 years ago. So, if anything, you are looking at a retreat of the 'disgusting' material comparatively.

Fifth, from Dexter, to Little Shop of Horrors, to any number of horror films, there has been no lack of movies or TV series in questionable taste ever since movies began. Again, this is nothing new.

Finally, this type of pearl clutching has also always been going on. People get offended by certain topics. If you are, then don't watch that movie. The finances will work out so fewer movies are made that bother people.

Hulu isn't Disney. They are owned by the same company, but they cater to different audiences.

The culture isn't declining. it is changing. But this type of movie is nothing new.

Oh, you mean...do unto others as you would have them do to you?
I wonder how many people want others to kill and eat them.

That's the fun thing about movies and books and other mediums of entertainment. It's not real. It's a safe place to explore the much darker side of humanity. It's where things that normally can't be done can be done. And you don't even have to want it done to you or want to do it to others.

Psycho--a horror classic--features the character Norman Bates who is strongly based on the real life serial killer Ed Gein. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, even many songs have been about Ed Gein and his crimes. Ted Bundy is another that often gets used for inspiration when making fictional villains.

There is also a TV series based on the Psycho movie. It is called Bates Motel. I think it is very interesting tv series and good entertainment.

So do you think a movie about a guy seducing women to carve them up for cannibalism is a healthy form of entertainment?
I don’t know about “dopes who soiled their panties over Harry Potter”. Who are you referring to?

If it's horror genre, then it's goal is to scare, shock, disturb, and horrify the audience. It's also fictional; it isn't real.
Besides, it's no worse than a lot of what can be found in your own Bible. Your outrage holds no merit, especially considering you're merely parroting reaction toward nothing you've seen yourself.

Cannibalism is on the rise all over the world. Was just reading about one drug cartel in Mexico that is putting recruits through so called terror school. They have to hunt someone down and eat parts of their body.

I think Steve Quayle said something about you'll know you're in the end times when cannibalism fills the headlines. According to Mr. Quayle; lust is the appetite of demons being satisfied through human beings.

The demons most likely come from the bodies of the giants that died in ancient times. These giants were said by many sources to be cannibals themselves.

For some really interesting information. Although the origin of the word is disputed and people will insist it isn't from Hebrew or Canaanite origins. Yet, in Hebrew the word Cannibal could mean to perform the priesthood of Baal. Weird fact.

An apparent push by the media to normalize cannibalism might be "suggestive programming". We already know the elitists want us to end up eating bugs and maybe eventually even reconstituted sewage product. So why not desensitize us to eat our own dead like in the classic dystopian movie "Soylent Green"?

Why would this be a concern?

I've lived in a world for 73 years in which I could watch violence of every possible description, as long as it only involved death, dismemberment and that sort of thing. That includes cartoons for kids, by the way.

But what we couldn't look at was people making love. Of people doing what people do naturally, because they love one another.

Anybody old enough to remember "I love Lucy," with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez? Or any number of other sit-comes, movies and the like -- in which supposedly loving couples, blessed (mysteriously) with children, had separate beds -- on which they could never lie down together?

No, sorry, violence won't earn you a restricted rating. A nice, loving BJ, on the other hand, ain't ever hitting the movie theatres.

Humans are so strange. They really are.

No one is trying to desensitize us to cannibalism or turn us into cannibals.
And also a lot of people have been trying to get the West to eat insects for a long time now. We're basically the only ones who don't.

Walt Disney himself wasn't that great of a guy, like how he let many female artists go uncredited. That is depravity.

I’ve read the Gospel accounts.
I researched the Passion movie and read reviews by those who did see it, before deciding not to see it.

I never said he was a great guy.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I never said he was a great guy.

Yeah, but today's society is far more equitable towards family and practices of this "family friendly" company would be illegal today.
But stories of cannibals and evil spirits and people have always been. The original Grimm Fairytales, for example, are far more violent and gruesome than the versions most people know today.

I don’t know about In Christ, but I literally just now realised that Disney were making them. I do find that rather sad, though I personally never had any illusions about Disney being other than a gargantuan money making machine. Still, this is a bit like finding out Spider-Man became a white supremacist.

They have not been "family friendly" for a long time, but you never realized that before because the corporation used to take great care to separate their non-family movies from their "family friendly" Disney brand by releasing the former under different imprints, e.g. Buena Vista.


As for the "cultural decline" due to horror movies, that just about predates the invention of colorized film and cinematic sound:

I take it you haven't seen any of the movies in the Silence of the Lambs franchise before?
Hannibal came out in 2001 and depicts a man carving up another man's brain to eat it.

The Italian horror movie Cannibal Holocaust, of course, was released in 1980.

They have been making movies for non-family audiences since the 1960s or thereabouts.
Their imprint Hollywood Pictures for example made the erotic thriller Color of Night in 1984, infamous for showing Bruce Willis's naked bottom (and really not much else, an overall rather terrible movie).
