Re: The Saw Series
Faces of Death isnt snuff. its more like a documentary really, its rather informative and educational. Francis B. Gross was a brilliant man IMO because he recgonized the psychology of certain and particular types of death and how they came to be and through what means, he believed the need to share this with people because living in society we tend to foget that all in all no matter how many cities we put up we as human being will always be a product of nature, and everything that is a living being is nature and thusly will eventually come to an end, most people now days dont really take the time to think that one day they will eventually die, from old age, a tragic accident involving a manmade machine, or from mother nature herself, I think people need to think about it more often because it reinstates the caution in your mind about some things you are doing. It's actually quite interesting, I watched the second FoD with my mom actually. Now I could understand going to the extremity of letting children see it, THAT would be crossing the line, but all in all I defend that series as a non-snuff series, however even so, should not be viewed by someone who cannot handle graphic imagery.
I dont think people who watch these things have a disorder or sickness, because that would mean that morticians, who deal with dead bodies and corpses every day, are mentally wrong, which just isnt so, because if it were so, the police would not allow this, the people who see these things and go on a rampage killing people due to the influence of it and hype or whatever are the ill ones, and sometimes not even that, often its someone too young to be viewing the material to begin with.
The Colombine incident for example, they tried to pin that on everything but the children themselves, why? Because children are impressionable, truth is, they did it because of a misinterpitaton from one or more of the things they tried to pin it on. Its like reading a road map sort of, you're going to get very lost if you read it upside down or sideways, but is it the road maps fault? no. The reason why you would be lost is because you didnt take the time to further examine what it is you were reading and thusly had no idea what it actually said.
The only reason I stated the above is because I firmly believe that there is a difference between a scientific documentary depicting graphic imagery and a film specifically made illegally by someone who is mentally ill, I dont like when the two get confused, thats why that series has gotten listed as "a snuff film" because of the confusion over it. I own FoD I, II, and III, and I can tell you its nothing more than an educational documentary.
What I wanna know is how this topic got to where it is from where it started. Someone took things a little bit far there
