opinion. I meant them to be so about the film. The director's film was about a girl who cannibalizes her companions. Where does one go from there?

I don't like films that try to shock one (unless it's a horror film, of course) into some societal opinion--- especially one that uses extreme violence and ugliness to do so. For instance, to appreciate the after effects of a rape on a character, I needn't see the most violent of rapes portrayed. A feather, in the hands of a good director, works as well as a pick axe.
