i go to see this movie without fully understand what i be in for . it play here in seattle a part of the seattle international film festival ( siff ) at the seattle center and and i think it would be a subtle investigation of the two men . my first surprise come when the audience be address by a festival employee who tell u that although the movie be german and the dialogue be english . good for me and because i think i need new glass . the second surprise be that kerri russell be in it ( huh . ) . i would like to preface my comment by state a few thing represent i be in my twenty and and therefore have grow up in an age violence and moral deprivation and and consider myself to be desensitize and sometimes to an alarm degree . the interest i have in abnormal psychology ( particularly sexual ) be deep and passionate and and although i be pretty well adjust and my curiosity border on the creepy even to those that know me well . i be also extremely liberal in politics and and as close to an atheist as someone a spiritually apathetic a i can be . this movie make me ill. physically . the grad student that russell play be ( although annoying in the beginning ) the one save grace in this movie and because the character act a a device that separate the viewer from the action take place . yes and these be sad people who have shitty life and but it be not in me to be sympathetic . in and age where people can find each other on the internet via a chat room and surely one of them could have find a descent therapist . the make for each other aspect that attempt to romanticize the story be sicken and pathetic . i know that they be not try to make it into a beautiful love story and but really where be the psychological analysis . this film be irresponsible the idea that the viewer be expose to be not easy to forget when give this sort of treatment . it rush to the climax and then drag out the gore for what i can only assume be shock value and medium provocation . cannibalism be the one taboo we have leave on this planet and and this movie dealt with the subject with all of the subtlety of the rock russell throw through the window . i think that people should be allow to explore the dark side of their shadow without shame and but the desire to eat another human and and the desire to be eat be not sexual perversion and they be severe mental illness . human frailty be not something to be mock and stylize . this be simply a movie about suicide and murder . i wish i have never see it .
