About Cannibal Holocaust, this was banned because the dead people in it looked so real right? Thank god it wasn't might i say, but weren't there dead animals? It was a good film though...:D

The ifferutable realism of the animal deaths might have driven some souls to the conclusion the human deaths could therefore also be real... but it's a stretch.

More probable is that the film was so widely cut and banned because of the animal deaths, the distribution of footage of which would be illegal in many territories.

I found it amusing how you just jumped in the middle of the conversation and acted like you knew what was up without even paying any attention to the first 6 pages that were written before you showed up. (As evidenced by your relentless badgering of the fact that you thought that I thought the killings were real, when in all actuality, I had said in like the 3rd or 4th post of the entire thread that the 'animal slaughter was real, the human stuff was not.')

That was what I found amusing about it.

It is only necessarily so obvious and apparent to the few who may have experienced Cannibal Holocaust uncut and went on to investigate further as to exactly who and what was actually mutilated or killed from reliable sources.

First encountering the film as a teenager for instance can leave a different impression to studying it later as a wiser, more cynical adult. This is particularly true of shockumentary/mondo films, which Cannibal Holocaust is indebted to. Many people thought - and still think - that the staged 'monkey brains' sequence in Faces of Death is genuine, for example.

Add to varying gullibility the influential power of the sensationalist press, and it is not unreasonable to believe the average film watcher might ask questions of this nature - if only to get the kind of buzzing conversation going where people are keen to rally round and dispel urban myths. People do die in Cannibal Holocaust, but not because of the film.

Inexorably snotty encyclopediac (i.e. look it up on Google) film buffs like the afrementioned "freak" are always going to mount the high horse, since their discoveries and 'understandings' of such feared films count as great achievements and can be used to gleefully berate the casual enquirer and trumpet astounding revelations. This is particularly common of 'fake-reality' films, since the discovery of the ruse might suggest a shrewd mentality.

Okay, now re-read the rest of the thread where you already said this and I already responded to it telling you to quit taking stuff out of context because what I was actually asking there was whether or not that was what zwoti was actually saying, not whether or not that was what actually happened.

The prosecution may have rested, but they sure as fuck got their asses handed to them in court because they didn't know what they were talking about.
