"Mad God" is just the latest version of this. No, it isn't artistic to show abject horror and depressing sadness on screen. People are just getting off from sadism and adrenaline and claiming it's some transcendent experience.
I'm not going to judge anyone who enjoys movies like it, because I can see the appeal, but if I see another critic say another piece of edgy garbage is actually an artistic masterpiece I'm going to tear my brain out through my earhole.
I started to watch mad god because I love claymation but I got like 45 mins in and it felt like a snuff film without a plot. I like slower movies and the lack of dialogue didn't bother me but it quickly felt like the violence and gore was just pointless. Don't have anything against movies like that in principle but it didn't do anything for me at all.
edit: a lot of people seem to think the criticism of this movie is prudish or scolding but uh... no. I love Berserk, which is definitely known for over the top violence... however there is a point to the violence. Huge difference.
Here’s my idea: a movie where it’s just one person murdering someone else over and over again with no transitions, titles, or explanations. No music. No sound. But what will make us lots of money is if it includes scenes of every identity murdering another identity (like black killing white, woman killing man, etc etc) so that each of those can be clipped into gifs, which will get young people talking about the movie and how it’s “the creepiest movie ever made” and then lots of kids with money will want to check it out and it will make us some money to fund this clapboard house ass website.
Who’s in?

:fedposting: oh I’m totally in. Let’s make this “movie” and then arrest you and throw you in the loony bin forever without the movie ever getting released and just by showing the clips to the fine up-standing ci-ti-zennnns of the juwrrrry. Soowwwweeeeeeeee :hog-posting:
