real vs fake

[g star]

it's funny. i've seen every kind of death/injury you could imagine in the multiple of horror movies i've seen. usually i laugh or applaud. but the other day a friend of mine showed me a website (i think it might have been called steakandcheese.com for any of those interested) which had a ton of videos of real deaths, real injuries, etc. we're talking terrorist beheadings, baseball players taking a 100 mph fastball to the nose, kickboxers snapping there legs in half, skateboarders skinning their faces, random people getting run over by cars, etc. i can't watch that crap. it kills me. everytime i close my eyes i see that street fight i saw where i guy gets his head repeatedly bashed against a brick wall. that shit makes me so sick in real life. yet, for some reason when i see it fictionally portrayed i get excited. why is that?

Same here. I can watch the nastiest horror movies, but I can't even watch surgury on TV. I suppose that you know going into a movie that it's fake, so your relaxed. If you know it's real, your going to be on edge.

Plus most gory horror movies are made that way to shock some and please the fans. I don't see how people watch real things like that. Curiousity I suppose.

surgery doesnt bother me, its gross but doesnt bother me

its the context of it. horror movies are fake, surgery is doing it normally to help someone. but in the shit u saw, yeh thats pain, anger.. someone whos probably not comin back

ive seen maybe 2, possibly 3 of those type of things and i never plan on seeing again. at least so long asi can help it (im gonna be a cop,.. so i gotta expect it)

I have too much sympathy for real people i suppose. I couldnt watch people get murdered in real life. It would probably make me cry before it makes me puke

Its a moral issue.

When you watch a horror film, before you insert the DVD, you know you will be watching a 'created' world, even if the locations displayed within the film are real....the events have had no 'real' negative effect on any any life.

When you watch something that is portrayed to be 'real', then you know that before you subject yourself to watching the 'scenes' you have understood that actual lives have been effected by what you are going to watch or have just seen. This has an affect on your morrals causing an emotional response, that you have either disliking or liking too.......

This shows that some people will be able to watch 'real' scenes without being disturbed, whereas some will find the scenes uncomfortable to watch.

I myself, do find scenes disturbing, If I know that they have had some effect on a real life.

exactly ...
i told the last person who sent me one of those 'guy being hit by a train' videos that the next video circulating around the internet would be me kicking his ass.

I see shit like that and unlike the 'face your fears' tough ass bravado boys, i see that thing every time i close my eyes.
Like i said in another post when you see it in a movie you see the work of FX and makeup people. When you see it on the news your seeing someones child/husband/mother/sister ..etc being removed form the earth in one horrible second.
And if thats not bad enough .. some sick fuck thinks its funny and puts you on a website.
Nice world we live in where people take entertainment from the sorrow of others.

Do bear in mind the majority of "shocking" footage to be found on the Internet is fabrication.

There are a number of familiar scenes to be found on some of the usual notorious sites that are from genuine stock footage (various third-world executions and Asian dead bodies for example), but most of the more outrageous and disagreeable "tortures", "killings" and "accidents" are in fact mock-ups.

The digitized computer medium makes these fakes easier to produce than on video, where inconsistencies between frames are more obvious and are less likely to fool.

Probably controversially, the recent widely publicized beheadings in Iraq are recreated for the camera rather than the genuine authentic acts they are supposed to be. Although extremely distasteful to watch, once one is over the initial revulsion every case examined shows blatant evidence of technical tampering and - in some cases - the production values of these scenes are so bad they should not fool a five-year-old into believing they are real.

The hostages are still dead, of course.
