well, I can watch violent movies. some are really great, don't get me wrong. I like a lot of them... but when things get really graphic... for example, I watched Saving Private Ryan recently. greaaat movie! great, great movie. but oh my gosh sometimes with the blood I just can't take it. it's literally making me sick just thinking about it. I can't look. I have to look away. even though I know it's acting, I can't. that's just me. it's been a thought in my mind, just wanted to share it.
I have the same with horror movies, don't get me wrong I have had enough horror in my life for 10 lifetimes, But it is the feeling that I'm being manipulated into following a story, which I rather do on my own rather than be forced to watch ..as per the manipulation thing The truth with gore! ..is many who experience it, say they don't feel a thing, like a friend sliced his knee cap yesterday with his chain saw, only 2 inches or so, after 15 minutes of cutting wood, he felt his inside boot wet, he though his boot leaking, I said you cut yourself, he said No! I drove him to hospital, token all the way ....lol
I feel this way when I am high. Cannot watch violence at all while high! Even stuff like pineapple express is too intense for me! I went to the theater and saw Defiance while high as fuck. Biggest mistake of my life! Weed and violence are like oil and water. They do not mix!
