Beware! Before you read this review I will warn you that it may contain information that might not be suitable for some to read. This is a review about a movie that deals with death!
Are you into documentaries? How about footage of people being killed, tortured or even killed for their crimes? I’m not really into those types of movies, but I have to admit I was rather fascinated when I seen a whole collection of movies called “ The many faces of death”.
The movie is all documentary, it show’s in grave detail ways of torture and killings in other countries. It showed a young man from Iraq being put in a prison and then they cut off his one hand and one foot, and they branded his forehead so everyone knew what this man done. Do you know what this man done for him to deserve this type of punishment? He stole from a family member, so that is what they done to him so he would never steal again.
At one part of the movie they showed this restaurant that served very expensive delacatensents. Guess what was on the menu? Monkey brain was on the menu. How did they serve this money brain? They have this table that has a hole in the middle of it. Everyone sits around the table with a little mallet hammer. Then with the monkey being alive they place him/her in between the hole and that holds the monkeys head tight.
Then each person at the table takes turns hitting the monkey in the head. Once that is done they have this little saw that they cut around the head of the monkey and then take the skull of it off and then begin to eat the brains of the monkey. Ok, I’m sorry I shouldn’t of went that far into the detail of that. In all the countries in the world punishment is given out in different ways. Even since the old ages of Greek and Romans things have changed.
Remember when you use to have the guillotines? Well in some countries they use to use rope and tie your body limbs to the rope and then attach the ropes to horses and then have the horses begin to move forward. This stretches your body apart until finally they are torn from your torso. I will stop there with the types of things you will see in this movie.
However there are many different volumes of this movie. Like I said you can get volume 1-6 or the 2002 volume. Each one has different things about death in them. Some times the movie can be rather boring cause they wont show things, instead they will just talk, or show pictures. They don’t always show the actual advent of the killing or torture or the crimes.
These movies are really old movies, so the graphics and color are not the best. You can tell that they are old films because of the sound as well. Like I said this is a movie for mature people NEVER should it be seen by anyone young!
