I love that movie in a sick and twisted way

___________________

I almost never get offended, but can get grossed out.

The "Kill Bill" movies were gross but "History of Violence" was offensively gross. Don't see that one if you have a weak stomach.

HAPPINESS

I think it was tagged as being the downer film of the decade.


a bit about the movie...
Nothing is spared this sorry family. There is a dead marriage for the sisters’ parents (Ben Gazzara and Louise Lasser), chronic failure for the romantic Joy (Jane Adams), self-hatred for the successful, sophisticated Helen (Lara Flynn Boyle) and the worst kind of self-delusion for the chirpy housewife, Trish (Cynthia Stevenson).

It gets worse: Joy’s boyfriend (Jared Harris) is a thief; Helen’s next-door neighbor (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is a self-loathing obscene phone caller; his neighbor (Camryn Manheim) is a secret psychotic.

Mr. Solondz elicits intensely committed performances from a cast willing to submerge itself in the worst the imagination can produce.

In Happiness, the chief practitioner of this dangerous art is Dylan Baker as Trish’s husband, a psychologist who drugs and rapes their son’s playmate. You’ve heard actors speak of sacrificing themselves for a role; you’ve never seen anyone give up so much as Mr. Baker. With a bland and soothing manner, he fairly immolates himself to reveal a monster.

Also, American History X. I still love it, even though it makes me nauseous.

One of the best movies ever IMO

The speeches Edward Norton pulls in this movie is just something he does best!

Plot Summary

The Grey Zone (2001)

The true story of Dr. Miklos Nyiszli, a Hungarian Jew chosen by Josef Mengele to be the head pathologist at Auschwitz. Nyiszli was one of Auschwitz's Sonderkommandos - Special Squads of Jewish prisoners placed by the Nazis in the excruciating moral dilemma of helping to exterminate fellow Jews in exchange for a few more months of life. Together, the Sonderkommandos struggled to organize the only armed revolt that would ever take place at Auschwitz. As the rebellion is about to commence, a group from the unit discovers a 14-year-old girl who has miraculously survived a gassing. A catalyst for their desperate attempt at personal redemption, the men become obsessed with saving this one child, even if doing so endangers the uprising which could save thousands. To what terrible lengths are we willing to go to save our own lives, and what in turn would we sacrifice to save the lives of others?

Glitter!
