bad ju-ju for all involved...
Ask Ned Beatty...
I agree. I see no point in this movie. Reminds me of the notorious "art film" Salo: 120 Days of Sodom, made by Peir Paulo Pasolini. It depicted the rape, torture and murder of a bunch of young people at the hands of Fascists in WW2 Italy. People who have seen it says it requires a strong stomach just to get through it. I have never seen it nor plan to. I've argued with its defenders who say "Salo shows the horrors of fascism". I usually say "there's already something that showed the horrors of fascism-it's called WW2!"
Using a popular entertainment method such as film to depict perversions and/or sadism really is "bad ju-ju" IMO.
