Day #27 of the 30 Day Film Challenge.

The prompt is A Film That Made You Uncomfortable

Hmm..I don't know about this category. I tend to avoid films that make me uncomfortable or try to. Also I forget them. I'm very good at forgetting things. There is however one film that still bothers me due to a famous sequence with Johnny Depp - it was among Johnny Depp's first films..

I'd been warned off of it by my brother - but I saw it with a bunch of friends freshman year of college anyhow...



Followup, since people keep picking two films...I saw this film on television after my mother reported seeing it and absolutely hating it. It made her uncomfortable and she ranted about it. The mere fact that she actually went to see it with a friend in the movie theater - amused me. Because I just can't see her actually watching this.. I can't remember the movie at all, except I found it to be cringe-inducing in places, absurdly amusing in others, kind of boring, and I disliked all the characters. Honestly, it's the sort of film you want to watch to remind yourself that being single is not so bad and men are gross, selfish jerks.

I'm going to go with 2014's Whiplash (directed by Damien Chazelle). I wasn't uncomfortable with Fletcher's terrifying, abusive methods of teaching music; what made me uneasy is that the movie says they WORKED. Pushing Andrew to the edge of madness was just the amount of focus he needed to achieve true genius?

Really?

Okay, you could say that Andrew's reconciliation with his father was what gave him the inner strength to survive that concert...

But I dunno. Still uncomfortable:
