He points out the use of violence in films to appeal to viewers and uses fourth wall breaks calling out the current audience of the film. The killers play a part in this and “entertain” the audience with these acts of violence. Additionally they decide how it plays out and control the outcome of the story. When one of them is killed, which is not part of the plan and would cut the torturing short and therefore the “entertainment”, they simply pause and rewind to play out the scene again. Additionally after the son of the family is killed and the killers leave it’s as if it isn’t a film anymore and you are just looking in on a family experiencing this extreme grief. For an uncomfortable amount of time you are watching the mother silent and barely moving with no cuts in the scene at all. It feels disturbingly real and not at all enjoyable or entertaining reminding you of what you are watching. Anyways I’m never watching this again.CommentsSign in to react and join the conversation.Sign inGet the app
