Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom

truely disgusting, made me want to vomit, but damn if it didnt teach me more about the human experience, empathy, perspective and love

edit: im gonna add more as i think of them.

Full Metal Jacket

first watched this while on acid, the first half scared me pretty immensely. i have always been anti authority, but watching this and seeing such pure voluntary subjugation really hurt, to me its about more than war (obviously), its about human struggle and an understanding of why we do the things we do.
