The War Zone - the actual most messed up movie of all time...
> After his family relocates from London to rural Devon, sullen British teen Tom (Freddie Cunliffe) spends most of his time moping about the house. When he inadvertently discovers an incestuous relationship between his older sister, Jessie (Lara Belmont), and their father (Ray Winstone), the revelation threatens to have dire consequences. The mother of the family (Tilda Swinton), unaware of the dark secret, has recently given birth, and the siblings must contend with the harrowing situation.
I just want to know why, I watched it years ago and it still haunts me. Why was this ever created?
You can't tell anyone you've seen it.
You can't tell anyone to watch it.
You can't tell anyone anything about it.
It just cannot be publicly discussed because the subject is just so unbearable.
> At a public screening of this movie during the 1999 Toronto International Film Festival, one viewer was so upset and devastated that he rose to his feet and shouted that he couldn't take any more, then headed for the exit, intending to pull the fire alarm.
> According to director Tim Roth, the bunker scene was so difficult to film that the sound man almost ruined a take by crying into his microphone.
> The bunker scene was very difficult for Ray Winstone, also because Lara Belmont was the same age as Ray's real life oldest daughter. "I was great until I got to the scene, I couldn't do it. I went, 'what the fuck am I doing here in this movie, what are we making this for?' And my bottle completely and utterly went, and I'm having a go at Tim, I said, 'there's something wrong with you, you know. You're fucking making films like this, what do you call this?' And I became my dad for a minute you know, 'you call this entertainment? This ain't fucking entertainment.' I went right kind of like a film critic for a minute.
We discuss many other movies that are scary or sad or cover difficult topics, but none of them have had those sorts of reactions...
This is why I think this is the actual most messed up movie. Not just because the subject is so hard but because the filming was so awful and the movie leaves you so depressed and alone because you wouldn't want to discuss and share the sadness with anyone else.
