Cannibal Holocaust!!! Ever heard of this documentary???
Well i think it shd have more aptly been called CORONARY HOLOCAUST!!!
bcoz its sure to render strong hearts weak n weak hearts weaker!!! A word of advice:If while watchin the movie somebody with a weak heart closes his eyes,dont directly conclude tht he has just dozed off! Check his pulse once........
Yeah i had an idea tht the movie would be gross,but i definitely underestimated the level of grossness!!!
After being subjected to constant bragging frm my brother abt how he had managed to sit thru the whole movie,swathi n i decided to watch the movie to find out what all the hullaballoo was abt!!! We put on the dvd n started watchin the movie.The 1st 20 mins was fine....Then it came!! A scene whr the uncivilized cannibal tribals perform a "ritual" to punish a woman who has committed the sin of adultery.........................our hearts started beatin faster,tachycardia,tachypnea,tachy-everything,legs flexed,torso flexed even more.....all this to ward off tht clenching,horrible,terrible feeling in the stomach!! Then came the nausea..... We just HAD to shut the bloody computer down n throw the dvd away,vowing never ever to see tht movie........EVER!! We started thinking of nice,happy thoughts to try n prevent any potential nightmares in the making....Such was the effect of tht one scene on us!!!
Fast forward MANY months:
Yesterday,i found the dvd tht v had thrown away safely out of normal eyesight..i decided tht i MUST watch the movie,come what may!! I said to myself tht it was a question of my bravery,blah blah blah.................... All the pep talk bcoz this time,i had no company too!!
I had a light lunch bcoz i figured tht IF i was gonna puke,it rather be in small amounts,considerin my mom was not thr at home to clean the mess!!! :)
I put the dvd on..........after 20 mins came the 'ritual' scene!! Again tachycardia,tachypnea,legs flexed,torso flexed to ward off tht horrible feeling in the stomach,a terrible lump-like feeling in ur throat..............n finally the scene was over n it felt like victory!! Just then i remembered tht when i had told my bro abt r failed attempt to watch the movie last time,he had told me tht the 'ritual' was the mildest scene in the movie....... "MILDEST"??? i mean,c'mon,they changed the meaning of 'mild' in the dictionary n nobody thought it necessary to tell me???
Then i saw what he meant.............
Considerin tht im a medical student,I think i was a wee bit less petrified than anyone else would have been bcoz i atleast already knew what the human body looks like when its openend up......But even i havent seen anyone killin ppl n openin up the body with stones,or seen ppl EATIN all the organs of the human body,or seen the weird things they did in the name of 'rituals',or seen the live killing of pigs,rats,tortoises for dinner,with the twitchin n al................
The catch of the movie was tht most of the things the tribals did were instigated by a couple of normal human beings who had gone there callin themselves 'explorers'(i call them jerks!!!)......
The movie just doesnt seem to get over at all.....But when it finally does,it leaves u with a tongue-tie n a lump in ur throat n a horrible wrenchin feelin in ur stomach n scenes frm the movie in ur mind everytime u blink!!!
The last line of the movie,specially,hits u:"I wonder who the real cannibals are!!"
A large number of animals were definitely harmed in the making of this movie,a lot of dead bodies(which could otherwise be used in the making of a few doctors in some medical college) wasted!! But all said, this movie is definitely one helluva MASTERPIECE!!!!
Watch it,atleast once!!!
