Sure, art can make you feel uncomfortable and stuff, but it is not showing you ten minutes of an unedited anal rape scene on screen (damn you, stupid "Irréversible" movie) what make a work of art "moving" or "deep", that is just a cheap move. But it seems that adding an scene of sexual violence, or "a tear jerking moment" or any stock prefabricated crap turns you into an artist. It doesn't work that way.

Emotional manipulation is common in art, but the problem is when you just throw easy disturbing scenes as a cheap way of moving your audience. That has no merit, it's like dropping LSD in the drinks of the people assisting to a picture exhibition and then have them praising the weird way in which colors played amongst themselves.

Sorry for the rant.

That's also a thought I often have about such emotional manipulative media works. Couldn't have said it better! :thumbs:

Edit: Oh, and it's an impressive video indeed! Incredible how she exactly knows what she's doing...
...but gosh, the audience cried over this? And I thought I was a sissy...

Not as old as your mum.... Oh yeah I went there.

I really liked this film, normally things like this don't affect me but this one did. It makes me think she had some sad times in her life.

she was probably bully'd in elementary school. As all great artists started out.

Are you insinuating that im not a great artist, Fubbo?

[Fubb]

Well, were you bully'd as a young boy or in your early and confusing adolescence? If so, you are a great artist!

If not, your just fooling everyone, and its working, so keep it up!

Pimpstone!
