'Player 13'
13 Tzameti
This is the 'movie' Erin and I watched last night. I used the term movie in quotes because it apparently (and I have no corroboration on this) is somewhat of a fictional docu-drama. I can not prove that what transpires in the movie actually takes place in the 'real' world - but then as the movie seems to ask - or more correctly French philosophy seems to imply - what's real anyway? My guess is that yes, this sort of 'game' takes place in the world.
Intense would be an understatement here. Brutal - not quite. I've notice my watching of violent films has somewhat increased with being in this relationship. Not a good thing - but it's not a horrid thing either. I don't usually like or enjoy violence in ANY form - however, some violent movies are worth watching if they have a certain message or are too well done to NOT see (you may go ahead and compare this film to 'Fight Club' if you wish). Yes I truly believe our psyches are impacted/affected by what we watch, hear, etc. and if something is REALLY graphic I will not watch it no matter what my lover wants. (True to oneself don't ya know...yadda, yadda, yadda...).
I have to say though this movie was psychologically taught, a true 'thriller', the cinematography was incredible, and the shock value palpable. This film is not for the faint of heart. The short on the disc "Sunday's Game" was dark humour indeed. I would think you could manage to find it on line somewhere - (*evil grin*) it could be a solution to our 'elderly' problem (*gasp* did *I* just say that????) - seriously I often tell my kids to just 'take me out and shoot me'....
So for those of you who can 'handle it' I'd give it a thumbs up.
