Hello from the 2020 Quarantine! Because this video has been picking up steam recently, I thought it would be good to add actual subtitles instead of the auto-generated ones, and I just gotta say... gosh I'm annoying. Especially for the first two and a half minutes. I totally get why most folks don't make it that far, but it's unfortunate, because I do think it gets better after that. In my defense, this video was done within the first six months of the channel, and there have been some changes, perhaps the most useful of which is a substantially faster talking speed, which this video really could have benefited from. C'est la vie.
@@dawg7896 are you sure. I've seen peoples skin get cut straight off their body and people brains hanging on with their skull cracked open on gross gore and it hasn't really traumatized me in any way. I think I'm a little desensitized but not really traumatized.
N8 the Great Ive seen it. I don’t really get why people consider it the most fucked up movie of all time. Is it fucked up and disturbing? Yes. But I was exposed to more fucked up shit online by the time I was 14 lol.
N8 the Great And you also gotta realize.. it’s just a movie lol. The shit you see online 9/10 is real. That shit fucks me up more than any movie possibly could.
Just watched salo. I didn't think of Cannibal Holocaust as very disturbing and I thought a Serbian film was a pretty decent movie. Salo just made me sick to my stomach, and I don't get sick very often
Dude wtf, human centipede 1 made me sick i almost puked in my bed, and that serbian mf movie made me want to scrub my mind and just not remember that shit. 😨😷
I mean, I felt Salo was pretty disturbing, especially since I watched it when I was 13, or 14, but I felt that Salo was able to get its point across without being AS disturbing as A Serbian Film.
The Week I Review I was scrolling through tiktok and it mentioned some movies that are banned, and this was among one of those movies. My eye was caught by this one, so I searched the movie on RUclips and clicked on your video.
@@TheWeekIReview like tell me what it all means like why did that lady jump out the window and why did I feel bad for the first prostitute who told the story about the priest . the sadness in her eyes . I felt bad for her .
Thank you! Having seen all of the movies in that Tik Tok, I disagree. There are far, far worse movies than those. The Devils is amazing, and Freaks is a fascinating film that sadly has had a third of its footage lost to time. Antichrist is interesting. (Chaos reigns.)
Decided to check it out due to my interest in strange or disturbing films. I have seen many horror films and they don't really bother me at all. But, I could not finish this film. Watched a little past the wedding scene and felt physically and mentally sick. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
@@soultrain4549 The entire film is honestly disgusting. Especially if you really think about it, and how things like this probably happen. Yes, it really is that bad. It's just very emotionally draining.

I watched back to back review (that also showed censored clips) of Cannibal Holocaust, A Serbian Film, and Salo a few days ago because I doubt I could stomach the films themselves But out of all of them I had a Salo themed nightmare just this morning. And I think it’s because I cant get it out of my head how real the situation in Salo felt and how sick it was that it’s likely happened many times throughout history. The situation was so helpless and really one of my greatest fears
Salo I think is the most horrifying of those conceptually, though in practice actually watching it's by far the easiest of the three to stomach. The animal killings in Cannibal Holocaust are rough, and A Serbian Film literally dropped my jaw with how horrible the finale is.
As I watched this movie I came to realize that nobody on this planet is truly good. Evil is all around us. There could be literally sex trafficking victims experiencing something similar towhat those kids expect. I’m traumatized now
I have an extremely weak stomach due to never having watched a horror movie until about 6 months ago, but explanations of horror films fascinate me... thank you for this!
I just finished watching it. I will admit, I cried at the end of it. The film is made that you just cannot get a chance to deeply empathize with the victims and forces you to be in a seat where you have no power but to have to engage with the fascists/capitalists. It made a feeling of being helpless against power. Having only the ability to ask questions, and be forced to continue things you may not want to do or experience at all. It felt like you were observing it happen, and powerless to do anything or save anyone. Unlike other “disturbing” movies, where you are immersed, it was almost, for me, like the movie kind of made you a willing participant, and question your own role in it. Almost like watching it is its own act of complacency to it. Idk. Might just be me trying to make sense of a lot of questions I still have, and I don’t know will ever be able to be answered. Instead of being purely viscerally disturbing, it was a, mental and intellectually that I was not ready for. Best movie I can never recommend anyone see. Also, I’m going through those lists of “most disturbing” movies as well. And I was so confused as to why one of those movies was in a criterion collection. Cinematically and artistically wonderfully. I can see why. But also, oof. It’s a heavy weight. Close to the same feeling when I visited concentration camps turned into museums. Just tough heavy feelings afterwards.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I’ve watched so many reviews on Salo and not gotten much out of it, but your voice is so soothing and you’re one stunning looking man that I don’t even care.
I was not as disturbed as thought I would be. I can smell the shit from the screen though. I don’t think it is the grand statement the movie thinks it is. I do think it gives representation of power, fascism, and the dangers of hierarchical structures under capitalism. The movie is beautiful, but extremely disgusting. “The ugly can be beautiful...” is extremely true in the movie
These weird child shit sex cults seem to be way more common in western democracies and monarchies allied with western powers than the traditional fashy powers lol
@@sangeovr I watched it again a few weeks ago with a friend. It sure makes an impression. It really feels like the film maker wanted to show the depravity if a godless world. I don’t agree with him in the slightest, but it’s an interesting take.
Thanks for reviewing this without showing images! I like knowing things about films like this, but I don’t have the heart or the stomach to watch scenes even tho I’m genuinely curious 😅
Yeah... I didn't want to get age gated, and there aren't many moments in the entire film to show that wouldn't get me gated. This is just an extra benefit!
You watched the whole video but didn't read the one-sentence synopsis in the description? You're welcome! (This is actual a general issue that I have, where I write these things under the assumption that someone would only watch a video about a movie they had some knowledge of. This isn't a good assumption, and it's something I intend to address in the future. So, ya know, fair enough.)
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
@@TheWeekIReviewwe literally clicked and watched this video to get a synopsis IN THE VIDEO. Why in the world would I watch this video that doesn’t state anything about why you reviewed it this way and have to read a one sentence synopsis? Maybe video reviews aren’t your thing?
This movie shows what sadism is and how fucked people in power could really be that’s why the maker of this movie was killed right before it was released the powerful don’t want us to know how weird they truly are and how they view us actually .
Pasolini was murdered (by the mafia) for showing the hobbies of the one percent at the time. Or more likely revenge for the minors he probably traumatized to finish the film.
So I just finished watching the movie and it is disgusting however it didn't really evoke any emotion from me... it wasn't dark it's done in a Whimsical way I guess if that makes sense... and yet I don't think I could handle the book... I would think the book has to be really dark especially if you're like me and you mind tends to go to the dark side....
I think that gets at what one of the other guys who commented on this was saying, which is that it is meant to keep you at a distance and remove the emotion so you can consider its meaning dispassionately. I am also a bit leery of the book, which seems to me more like it will actually genuinely enjoy being grotesque where the film does so as a matter of fact to make its point.
@@TheWeekIReview well his plan definitely worked!.. what really drove home the point he was trying to make for some strange reason is when the older women was at the dinner table and she said something to the effect of "eat eat they all made this delicious dish for you" and of course you know what that was ...it just kind of drove his point home with me😘
@@TheWeekIReview Michel Foucault placed Sade as one of the two kinds of limit literature--unreadable--both because it had been unobtainable (censored) and because his books are so long and repetitious with breaks in the story for long essays opposing natural law, supporting atheism, defending crime, etc. His description is correct. Sade's books could only have been written at the end of the 18th century. I have described Sade as "the end of the Enlightenment"--both as its culmination and its ultimate critique. (I've read about half his books, The 120 Days of Sodom among them.) Philosophically, these books are dynamite capable of destroying everything the Enlightenment stood for. I consider him among the most important philosophers of the 18th century. (Foucault's other kind of limit literature was the unavoidable books--the ones that have so many copies printed that there's literally enough for most of the population.) The 120 Days is an unfinished manuscript Sade thought had been lost or destroyed. It was discovered decades after his death. The first part is completely written out. The remaining three parts are in outline. Is it worth reading? I guess so, but if I were recommending a book for someone new to Sade, I think I'd go with Philosophy in the Bedroom instead.
Honestly Salo is a good starter movie for someone looking to get into extremely messed up films. Its repulsive, but not overwhelming, its watchable. I honestly feel like people exaggerate this movie. The repulsive scenes are few and theyre short. The movie is not 2 hours of nonstop feces consumption like people make it sound.
I have read the book 120 days of sodom and this guys description of the movie perfectly describes the feeling of the book down to the smallest details (except of course the connections to fascism). I dont want to watch the movie because I would never want to see the things I read in the book depicted in motion picture.
This film does not translate well into U.S. culture, a reason being the largely simple expectations that Americans bring to their movie viewing experience. I remember seeing it in a theatre on East 57th Street at its initial release in 1975: my girlfriend and I were one of maybe 5 straight couples in the packed auditorium: it was a heavy male S+M crowd. Even then, when one was seeing it against a backdrop of a much stronger art house environment and when one was seeing it in the flow of his other films, it was being poorly read (it is a film that is "read"), it was being read "out of context". To understand the film, especially today, some 45 years after its release, you must do a serious dive into the film's intellectual foundation. Fortunately, Pasolini himself helps you with this: read his "In Danger: A Pasolini Anthology". And then see some of Pasolini's other films, particularly the Gospel According to Matthew and The Hawks and The Sparrows. Unfortunately, TIWR does not do that work. The bibliography at the beginning of the film is in fact there for a reason. Yes, it is not pretense, and though TIWR sees the clue, he doesn't seize it. This has to be one of the flat-out laziest and dumb-dumber-and-dumbest reviews of any film that I have ever seen. The fact that it is a review of THIS film: heaven help us who sat through this eleven and a half mind-numbing minutes of trite, adolescent observation. A place for him to start to get some actual insight would be to recognize that the feeling that he had of being outside of the film is not from the uncomfortable seats, but from a conscious aesthetic philosophy and practice on the part of the director that was first promulgated by Gramsci and Brecht. That said, the Metrograph is a great place to see vintage art house films. It reminds me of the old Bleecker Street and Carnegie Hall Cinemas. There are fewer and fewer art houses left: support them!
Man, this was harder to get through than the movie. ;) You're reminding me of a conversation I had with a Korean woman while standing in line at the New York Asian Film Festival a few years ago. She asked me what my favorite Korean movie was, and I told her it was Kang Hyeong-cheol's Sunny, which is my go-to answer in part because it's not necessary untrue but mostly because it was extremely popular in Korea while being a fairly deep cut for a random white dude. She said, "I don't think you can understand that movie." And she may well be right. But. Being probably ignorant to some of the historical nuance of that movie does not diminish my enjoyment of it. And regardless of what you or Pasolini think, I don't feel like I need to understand the entire philosophical canon to say things about this movie. I understand that feeling, particularly since this is an old movie and so this was a more specific choice than, say, reviewing a newer film like Roma might have been. But... as I said in the video, there was less than 36 hours between my recentest viewing and the video going live. That is a function of the way this channel works. There's only so much background I can do in that time, and tbh it was less than both you or I would have liked. Where I specifically agree (sort of) with you is re: its Brechtian aesthetic. I think I intended to more directly talk around that idea instead of outright saying "I have heard of Berthold Brecht and see his influence in the direction of this movie" than I ultimately did. When describing Salo to people, I have typically used the word "Voyeuristic" to describe the disconnect that you feel as a direct result of its directorial decisions versus something like A Serbian Film, which puts you in the action directly. I didn't use that word here, and I probably should have while better describing its implications. Fair enough. But, I have also seen this movie before, and even though I felt distance then, it was hugely magnified in this different setting. I settled into it (perhaps despite Pasolini's best efforts) on my couch in a way I didn't in those seats that I have hated ever since I first went to the Metrograph however many years ago it opened. I could certainly have more artfully articulated the point or expanded upon any number of things... but I didn't. As I said in my outro: I'm sorry that you didn't like it. Thanks for watching! :)
@@TheWeekIReview I thought you did a bang-up job. Okay, so you haven't read Simone de Beauvoir's "Must We Burn Sade?" or Pierre Klossowski's "Sade My Neighbor," and they are, I'm sure, worth reading. (I've only browsed them.) And you're right that however pretentious a bibliography at the end of the opening credits might be, it's not gratuitous; it's there for a reason. And okay, you didn't do a deep dive into the social and political implications of the film, but what you did give was fair warning in both necessary directions: (1) Don't see it if you have a weak stomach, and (2) don't see it if you're just looking for torture-porn. I would call it a tough but rewarding art-house flick, and you got that point across in your own words. I wrote a little essay called "The Beauty of Salò" looking at its aesthetic features. It was a subversive response to all the nonsense I keep hearing about how "disturbing" the movie is or isn't. I guess with a movie like this, you need to know ahead of time sort of what you're in for, and I think you did a fair job of warning and enticing viewers at the same time. I'd give Salò a little higher rating than 7.5, but 7.5 is in the ballpark. You should be proud of this review.
Halfway through watching this movie i started having like an out of body experience trying to find a happy place where the events that took place in this film were nonexistent.
This is the first video of yours I've came across. I wish I had friends like you. So perspicaciously eloquent. My friends tend to talk about "gettin'r done" and "how that Transformers movie was kick-ass"....
Saw the film, and I was a little disappointing, I feel that it often can't decide wether if it's a statement about power or corruption or a true adaptation of the Marquis' work, but even if the contents were a little unfocused to my taste, I really loved the composition of every shot, but wasn't enough for me to save the move, though. funny that you mention pizzagate, because now we have the Epstein case, ya know, a bunch of really wealthy and powerful people in an unreachable location, with a lot of children trapped to satisfy their desires and no laws or moral restraint, a near exact real life School of Libertinage, which further reinforces the relevance of this movie in our time, as a reminder that power can indeed corrupt, and should not go unhinged nor unwatched
I truly believe in pizzagate so this movie is even more scary just for that fact because things like this happen and it’s just traumatizing my sister watched it she’s 28 she was so shocked and upset after watching it she told me not even to look it up and after of course I did lol but I haven’t watched it just scenes and the plot alone is terrifying
You should stop truly believing in pizzagate, considering the pizza restaurant in question does not have a basement in which the supposed events that inspired pizzagate would have taken place. Things like this definitely do happen, but it's really not some big exciting conspiracy at the highest levels of government, and thinking that it does gives the actual criminals who are all acting well outside of that cover.
The theme song of 'Salo or 120 days of Sodom' is so good though. The main soundtrack 🎵 by the late great Ennio Morricone. ❤️ It's a masterpiece among awful movies no doubt.
I read an article somewhere that said the ending is the reward. You're built up to this grand punishment the masters laid out and they keep saying it's gonna happen and when it happens....oof. Coincidentally it just is.
Loved the movie, but let's be honest, it's some vanilla stuff compared to De Sade's original novel, which is without the shadow of a doubt the vilest work of literature ever put to paper.
I remember reading Sade's 120 Days of Sodom in high school thinking they'd never make a movie of this. How wrong I was. I'm still trying to figure out what the one boy was writing with his finger on the floor. All I got was "AL DIO"
Pier Paolo Pasolini was born in Bologna, traditionally one of the most politically leftist of Italy's cities. He was the son of elementary-school teacher Susanna Colussi, named after her Polish-Jewish great-grandmother
She was Friulan He wrote poems in Friulan as well Also one of the songs used during the tortures is a popular Friulan folk song (a requiem for a fallen soldier)
I've recently re-watched this movie in my 30's and it cleared up a lot of confusion and, what one may argue, "trauma" in my younger years. I was probably 12/13 years old when I watched original Italian version ... with no subtitles ... LOL. If you've seen this movie, you could imagine how that could confuse and disturb the shit out of a little kid, ... especially with not knowing what the HELL anyone was saying the whole time. I'm glad that at least now, I can laugh about it, lol(?).
Scuancio Fair warning though I don’t think it’s as fucked up as everyone is making it out to be. Was it fucked up? For sure but it’s definitely not gonna traumatize me lol.
Scuancio order it off eBay. Go get an eBay gift card from your local gasoline station and get on eBay and buy it. Or burn it off the internet and pass the movie out to people.
I hope that’s not the only thing you’ve seen from him, his docs and his movies and the courage he had at that time in a place like Italy, very sad to have lost one of the greatest philosophers
Love your content. Refreshing to hear a more in depth video on the topic. Absolutely love it. Thanks for the deep dive. I truly appreciate intellectual individuals. :D
I saw it. I kind of new what to expect before hand(didnt expect the buckets of human shite) I'd LOVE to see a Tarantino remake with a sick twist ending. It'd be a TRUE masterpiece.
The tik tok children in the comments is beyond hilarious. This film is stunning from the aesthetic side of things, the content is pure shock factor but the use of De Sade’s sodom to portray fascism is really quite intelligent. Worth a watch if you’re a cinephile.
Best review ever👍👍👍 Tik Tok childrens have to stay away from this movie. They are not mature enough for it. They probably dont even knows wtf a cinephile is.
@@TheWeekIReview it's definitely worth reading, I personally think it's way better then the movie. Just know that the ww2 setting is not in the book, and unlike the movie it shows every single day of the 120 days at the castle.
A violent metaphor on violence that power in its incarnations (religious, political and economic) exercises on anyone, starting with young people, of course, which are the first victims of this violence. "Reading" the film as a movie on sexual deviations is simply absurd.
After watching the movie I understood it isn’t actually a movie but an experience so you can test yourself. Now I’m just wandering If I should have seen the movie when I was younger on when I would be older.
The gore and depravity in Salo aren't really that "awful" if you've seen other movies aimed to shock and terrify. It's what happens between the shocking scenes that leaves a mark on the viewer. I think if you decide to watch Salo just for the shock value, you're gonna end up disappointed.
Yeah, I was looking for a comment like this, because that's how I felt, too. It wasn't really shocking, just more gross. Especially with all the sh*t. But there's many movies that have nudity and gore and I've definitely seen worse. But that's a first with all the feces talk and it's just nasty, but that's the only new thing I can think of for me, horror-fan-wise.
One of the few films that truly disturbed me. Took months to get this film out of my head, and would only recommend to those who can truly handle such depravity.
I watched this when I was 13 and I have never forgotten about it, I think it's one of the movies that got me into film as well as the thought process behind dark and twisted movies such as this one. It in my opinion is a movie full of metaphors but definitely not for the faint of heart. I really did not enjoy it because it truly made me sick but at the same time I was interested in the dialogue and the direction by the director.
It is so surreal to see someone so beautiful to talk about something so ugly and disgusting, I felt the same about many of the actors and actresses that participate in that
I think is easy for many to just see this as one of those “banned disturbing films” but unlike others alike, Salo actually provides a deep and insightful dive into the destructiveness and depravity of human nature while showing that amidst all the chaos in the world there still exists beauty (as the two young soldiers dance at the end)
The disappointing aspect is that they left out the showing of massive amounts of cocaine being injected by these sex crazed deviants!!!! Think about it if you have ever mainlined coke , you know exactly what I mean !
I recently watched the movie as part of my project on the 1,001 movies you must see before you die and I have to tell you that regardless of its philosophical viewpoint, it is an unwatchable movie, and if a movie is unwatchable, then it misses most of the points it is trying to make. Most people either watch this movie to be disturbed or to enjoy the shocking details, or to pretend that it has some sort of hidden meaning to life. It does not.
Nice analysis man! It took me two attempts to get through this movie. First time I couldn’t get past the forced marriage rape scene. You might want to advise the tik tok kids in the comments to avoid this one though
The majority of the child actors in the movie were actually between the ages of 14 and 18, which legally makes the movie classified as child porn. I wouldn't have a problem with the movie if it weren't for this fact, which causes the movie to go from daring to immoral.
That's what John Waters said in an interview, but I'm not sure that's accurate. Had heard otherwise, but can't find any corroborating source either way.
@@TheWeekIReview Well, one of the actors from the film, Antonio Orlando, was born in 1960, and the film released in 1975, which would have made him 14 during the filming of Salo. Here is a link to his imdb: www.imdb.com/name/nm0649975/
@@Rainhands22 yes that has been the general response whenever I bring this up to fans of Salo. They just stop responding, because they want to keep watching it and knowingly not acknowledge its genuine human rights issues.
Go ahead and watch it... but don't eat nothing. It will most likely make you wish you hadn't as it is an amazing chore to sit through. That isn't an opinion... just endure it.
David Lynch....lifts exactly off SALO...in Lost Highway.....when some one finds the curvy brunette on the side of the road....and a course of blood, drips from her mouth. Its exactly , 'Come Maria ' when the kids are made to act like dogs , being walked with leashes. Last second the man presses nails into a piece of cake...and the girl bites into it . The whole screen suddenly is Marias upturned face , Beautiful ...and this course of blood ....flows from her mouth. Lynch obviously greatly impressed by Pasolini. Pasolini explains the film , in a doc. He says ; ' l dont give you any information about the youths , so , you cant care about them....' Its worth it to see ...the other challenges, he put upon himself...in film making... theyre all sort of daunting.......🎉
On one hand I feel like salo has a good message and people should see it. But on the other hand I feel like people shouldn't see it because of how gruesome it is. I literally have a metal scar from it. I can no longer use spoons to eat food because every time I almost through up. It is because of one scene.
INTJ1348 that’s not necessarily bad, just very weird. Maybe you don’t enjoy good older movies, in the same way that some older people don’t enjoy good newer movies

I watched back to back review (that also showed censored clips) of Cannibal Holocaust, A Serbian Film, and Salo a few days ago because I doubt I could stomach the films themselves
But out of all of them I had a Salo themed nightmare just this morning. And I think it’s because I cant get it out of my head how real the situation in Salo felt and how sick it was that it’s likely happened many times throughout history. The situation was so helpless and really one of my greatest fears
Salo I think is the most horrifying of those conceptually, though in practice actually watching it's by far the easiest of the three to stomach. The animal killings in Cannibal Holocaust are rough, and A Serbian Film literally dropped my jaw with how horrible the finale is.
i had a dream with the actors' faces in them. salo really sticks with you.
A Serbian film was the WORST!!!!!
As I watched this movie I came to realize that nobody on this planet is truly good. Evil is all around us. There could be literally sex trafficking victims experiencing something similar towhat those kids expect. I’m traumatized now
Damn
Yes there is. It's all in the dark web. You will see how evil humans are.
I don't think there's an horrible person like a salo irl

I have an extremely weak stomach due to never having watched a horror movie until about 6 months ago, but explanations of horror films fascinate me... thank you for this!
I just finished watching it.
I will admit, I cried at the end of it.
The film is made that you just cannot get a chance to deeply empathize with the victims and forces you to be in a seat where you have no power but to have to engage with the fascists/capitalists.
It made a feeling of being helpless against power. Having only the ability to ask questions, and be forced to continue things you may not want to do or experience at all.
It felt like you were observing it happen, and powerless to do anything or save anyone.
Unlike other “disturbing” movies, where you are immersed, it was almost, for me, like the movie kind of made you a willing participant, and question your own role in it.
Almost like watching it is its own act of complacency to it.
Idk. Might just be me trying to make sense of a lot of questions I still have, and I don’t know will ever be able to be answered.
Instead of being purely viscerally disturbing, it was a, mental and intellectually that I was not ready for.
Best movie I can never recommend anyone see.
Also, I’m going through those lists of “most disturbing” movies as well. And I was so confused as to why one of those movies was in a criterion collection.
Cinematically and artistically wonderfully. I can see why.
But also, oof. It’s a heavy weight. Close to the same feeling when I visited concentration camps turned into museums.
Just tough heavy feelings afterwards.
Did you notice that the only reason they were acting as sex crazed maniacs was not shown ? They were mainlining cocaine continuously!

Salo is one of those movies I feel I can't call myself a film buff without watching, while I also would like to hold on to my sanity.
I was not as disturbed as thought I would be. I can smell the shit from the screen though.
I don’t think it is the grand statement the movie thinks it is. I do think it gives representation of power, fascism, and the dangers of hierarchical structures under capitalism.
The movie is beautiful, but extremely disgusting. “The ugly can be beautiful...” is extremely true in the movie

That sounds boring and very Disney. We have many many many movies like that already.
This movie shows what sadism is and how fucked people in power could really be that’s why the maker of this movie was killed right before it was released the powerful don’t want us to know how weird they truly are and how they view us actually .
this movie was really hard to sit through, some of the things that happened i could not BELIEVE were happening 😭
Pasolini was murdered (by the mafia) for showing the hobbies of the one percent at the time. Or more likely revenge for the minors he probably traumatized to finish the film.
Nobody knows
I’m jealous of your ability to articulate. I am curious about your take on Pink Flamingos
So I just finished watching the movie and it is disgusting however it didn't really evoke any emotion from me... it wasn't dark it's done in a Whimsical way I guess if that makes sense... and yet I don't think I could handle the book... I would think the book has to be really dark especially if you're like me and you mind tends to go to the dark side....
I'm trying to watch the movie were can I see it ? Also your very pretty nice smile😘
@@shyjokarz9388 I just Googled it and something popped up and I clicked on it and it was the movie I didn't download it I just watched it
I think that gets at what one of the other guys who commented on this was saying, which is that it is meant to keep you at a distance and remove the emotion so you can consider its meaning dispassionately. I am also a bit leery of the book, which seems to me more like it will actually genuinely enjoy being grotesque where the film does so as a matter of fact to make its point.
@@TheWeekIReview well his plan definitely worked!.. what really drove home the point he was trying to make for some strange reason is when the older women was at the dinner table and she said something to the effect of "eat eat they all made this delicious dish for you" and of course you know what that was ...it just kind of drove his point home with me😘
@@TheWeekIReview Michel Foucault placed Sade as one of the two kinds of limit literature--unreadable--both because it had been unobtainable (censored) and because his books are so long and repetitious with breaks in the story for long essays opposing natural law, supporting atheism, defending crime, etc. His description is correct. Sade's books could only have been written at the end of the 18th century. I have described Sade as "the end of the Enlightenment"--both as its culmination and its ultimate critique. (I've read about half his books, The 120 Days of Sodom among them.) Philosophically, these books are dynamite capable of destroying everything the Enlightenment stood for. I consider him among the most important philosophers of the 18th century.
(Foucault's other kind of limit literature was the unavoidable books--the ones that have so many copies printed that there's literally
enough for most of the population.)
The 120 Days is an unfinished manuscript Sade thought had been lost or destroyed. It was discovered decades after his death. The first part is completely written out. The remaining three parts are in outline. Is it worth reading? I guess so, but if I were recommending a book for someone new to Sade, I think I'd go with Philosophy in the Bedroom instead.
Honestly Salo is a good starter movie for someone looking to get into extremely messed up films. Its repulsive, but not overwhelming, its watchable. I honestly feel like people exaggerate this movie. The repulsive scenes are few and theyre short. The movie is not 2 hours of nonstop feces consumption like people make it sound.
It is a political movie
Yeah they exaggerate it. I thought it was pretty messed up but it's not. It's watchable and boring. I prefer reading the books.
@@iStrygwyr ok edgelord 😅
I have read the book 120 days of sodom and this guys description of the movie perfectly describes the feeling of the book down to the smallest details (except of course the connections to fascism). I dont want to watch the movie because I would never want to see the things I read in the book depicted in motion picture.
I'm just gonna be honest with you, the movie is nowhere near as disturbing as the book. The book makes the movie look like nothing.
The book is 10 times more disgusting than the book
The movie looks like a family movie compared to the book
HOW is the book worse than the movie. I haven't watched it, but god
We're living in times similar to Noah's time before the flood
People have been saying that since forever.
This film does not translate well into U.S. culture, a reason being the largely simple expectations that Americans bring to their movie viewing experience. I remember seeing it in a theatre on East 57th Street at its initial release in 1975: my girlfriend and I were one of maybe 5 straight couples in the packed auditorium: it was a heavy male S+M crowd. Even then, when one was seeing it against a backdrop of a much stronger art house environment and when one was seeing it in the flow of his other films, it was being poorly read (it is a film that is "read"), it was being read "out of context".
To understand the film, especially today, some 45 years after its release, you must do a serious dive into the film's intellectual foundation. Fortunately, Pasolini himself helps you with this: read his "In Danger: A Pasolini Anthology". And then see some of Pasolini's other films, particularly the Gospel According to Matthew and The Hawks and The Sparrows.
Unfortunately, TIWR does not do that work. The bibliography at the beginning of the film is in fact there for a reason. Yes, it is not pretense, and though TIWR sees the clue, he doesn't seize it. This has to be one of the flat-out laziest and dumb-dumber-and-dumbest reviews of any film that I have ever seen. The fact that it is a review of THIS film: heaven help us who sat through this eleven and a half mind-numbing minutes of trite, adolescent observation. A place for him to start to get some actual insight would be to recognize that the feeling that he had of being outside of the film is not from the uncomfortable seats, but from a conscious aesthetic philosophy and practice on the part of the director that was first promulgated by Gramsci and Brecht.
That said, the Metrograph is a great place to see vintage art house films. It reminds me of the old Bleecker Street and Carnegie Hall Cinemas. There are fewer and fewer art houses left: support them!
Man, this was harder to get through than the movie. ;)
You're reminding me of a conversation I had with a Korean woman while standing in line at the New York Asian Film Festival a few years ago. She asked me what my favorite Korean movie was, and I told her it was Kang Hyeong-cheol's Sunny, which is my go-to answer in part because it's not necessary untrue but mostly because it was extremely popular in Korea while being a fairly deep cut for a random white dude. She said, "I don't think you can understand that movie."
And she may well be right.
But.
Being probably ignorant to some of the historical nuance of that movie does not diminish my enjoyment of it. And regardless of what you or Pasolini think, I don't feel like I need to understand the entire philosophical canon to say things about this movie. I understand that feeling, particularly since this is an old movie and so this was a more specific choice than, say, reviewing a newer film like Roma might have been. But... as I said in the video, there was less than 36 hours between my recentest viewing and the video going live. That is a function of the way this channel works. There's only so much background I can do in that time, and tbh it was less than both you or I would have liked.
Where I specifically agree (sort of) with you is re: its Brechtian aesthetic. I think I intended to more directly talk around that idea instead of outright saying "I have heard of Berthold Brecht and see his influence in the direction of this movie" than I ultimately did. When describing Salo to people, I have typically used the word "Voyeuristic" to describe the disconnect that you feel as a direct result of its directorial decisions versus something like A Serbian Film, which puts you in the action directly. I didn't use that word here, and I probably should have while better describing its implications.
Fair enough.
But, I have also seen this movie before, and even though I felt distance then, it was hugely magnified in this different setting. I settled into it (perhaps despite Pasolini's best efforts) on my couch in a way I didn't in those seats that I have hated ever since I first went to the Metrograph however many years ago it opened. I could certainly have more artfully articulated the point or expanded upon any number of things... but I didn't. As I said in my outro: I'm sorry that you didn't like it.
Thanks for watching! :)

@@TheWeekIReview I thought you did a bang-up job. Okay, so you haven't read Simone de Beauvoir's "Must We Burn Sade?" or Pierre Klossowski's "Sade My Neighbor," and they are, I'm sure, worth reading. (I've only browsed them.) And you're right that however pretentious a bibliography at the end of the opening credits might be, it's not gratuitous; it's there for a reason.
And okay, you didn't do a deep dive into the social and political implications of the film, but what you did give was fair warning in both necessary directions: (1) Don't see it if you have a weak stomach, and (2) don't see it if you're just looking for torture-porn. I would call it a tough but rewarding art-house flick, and you got that point across in your own words.
I wrote a little essay called "The Beauty of Salò" looking at its aesthetic features. It was a subversive response to all the nonsense I keep hearing about how "disturbing" the movie is or isn't. I guess with a movie like this, you need to know ahead of time sort of what you're in for, and I think you did a fair job of warning and enticing viewers at the same time. I'd give Salò a little higher rating than 7.5, but 7.5 is in the ballpark. You should be proud of this review.

I hope you find a more intellectually stimulating community.
Saw the film, and I was a little disappointing, I feel that it often can't decide wether if it's a statement about power or corruption or a true adaptation of the Marquis' work, but even if the contents were a little unfocused to my taste, I really loved the composition of every shot, but wasn't enough for me to save the move, though.
funny that you mention pizzagate, because now we have the Epstein case, ya know, a bunch of really wealthy and powerful people in an unreachable location, with a lot of children trapped to satisfy their desires and no laws or moral restraint, a near exact real life School of Libertinage, which further reinforces the relevance of this movie in our time, as a reminder that power can indeed corrupt, and should not go unhinged nor unwatched
I truly believe in pizzagate so this movie is even more scary just for that fact because things like this happen and it’s just traumatizing my sister watched it she’s 28 she was so shocked and upset after watching it she told me not even to look it up and after of course I did lol but I haven’t watched it just scenes and the plot alone is terrifying
You should stop truly believing in pizzagate, considering the pizza restaurant in question does not have a basement in which the supposed events that inspired pizzagate would have taken place.
Things like this definitely do happen, but it's really not some big exciting conspiracy at the highest levels of government, and thinking that it does gives the actual criminals who are all acting well outside of that cover.
@@TheWeekIReview Why'd the ONE bullet he shot go through a hard drive?
The theme song of 'Salo or 120 days of Sodom' is so good though. The main soundtrack 🎵 by the late great Ennio Morricone. ❤️ It's a masterpiece among awful movies no doubt.
I read an article somewhere that said the ending is the reward. You're built up to this grand punishment the masters laid out and they keep saying it's gonna happen and when it happens....oof. Coincidentally it just is.
Loved the movie, but let's be honest, it's some vanilla stuff compared to De Sade's original novel, which is without the shadow of a doubt the vilest work of literature ever put to paper.
Will I need counselling, after watching this film?
Depends on how close you are to needing counseling before it, I think.

The gore and depravity in Salo aren't really that "awful" if you've seen other movies aimed to shock and terrify. It's what happens between the shocking scenes that leaves a mark on the viewer. I think if you decide to watch Salo just for the shock value, you're gonna end up disappointed.

I watched this when I was 13 and I have never forgotten about it, I think it's one of the movies that got me into film as well as the thought process behind dark and twisted movies such as this one. It in my opinion is a movie full of metaphors but definitely not for the faint of heart. I really did not enjoy it because it truly made me sick but at the same time I was interested in the dialogue and the direction by the director.
I would like to hear more of a take on the meaning of certain scenes in the film. Just interested in diving deeper and hearing other opinions.
It is so surreal to see someone so beautiful to talk about something so ugly and disgusting, I felt the same about many of the actors and actresses that participate in that
after watching the movie, all I can say is, thank god I wasn't a teen in 1975
havent had actual nightmares in years but right after watching salo i had nightmares all night themed like the movie truly an evil masterpiece
Anybody know where I can watch this?
shirvy just google “salo stream”. Or buy it on Criterion’s website. It’s hard to find a free version with English subtitles
I think is easy for many to just see this as one of those “banned disturbing films” but unlike others alike, Salo actually provides a deep and insightful dive into the destructiveness and depravity of human nature while showing that amidst all the chaos in the world there still exists beauty (as the two young soldiers dance at the end)
It's utter trash and I refuse to contaminate my memory banks with it's disgust.😊✌🏾

I recently watched the movie as part of my project on the 1,001 movies you must see before you die and I have to tell you that regardless of its philosophical viewpoint, it is an unwatchable movie, and if a movie is unwatchable, then it misses most of the points it is trying to make. Most people either watch this movie to be disturbed or to enjoy the shocking details, or to pretend that it has some sort of hidden meaning to life. It does not.

Nice analysis man! It took me two attempts to get through this movie. First time I couldn’t get past the forced marriage rape scene. You might want to advise the tik tok kids in the comments to avoid this one though
Thank you! Yeah, is a rough'n. Going to acknowledge the children about that in the intro to my next video.
The majority of the child actors in the movie were actually between the ages of 14 and 18, which legally makes the movie classified as child porn. I wouldn't have a problem with the movie if it weren't for this fact, which causes the movie to go from daring to immoral.

Go ahead and watch it... but don't eat nothing. It will most likely make you wish you hadn't as it is an amazing chore to sit through. That isn't an opinion... just endure it.
David Lynch....lifts exactly off SALO...in Lost Highway.....when some one finds the curvy brunette on the side of the road....and a course of blood, drips from her mouth.
Its exactly , 'Come Maria ' when the kids are made to act like dogs , being walked with leashes.
Last second the man presses nails into a piece of cake...and the girl bites into it .
The whole screen suddenly is Marias upturned face , Beautiful ...and this course of blood ....flows from her mouth.
Lynch obviously greatly impressed by Pasolini.
Pasolini explains the film , in a doc. He says ; ' l dont give you any information about the youths , so , you cant care about them....'
Its worth it to see ...the other challenges, he put upon himself...in film making... theyre all sort of daunting.......🎉
