I don't know about an entire movie being disturbing, but there are some scenes in movies that truly do get to me;
1. In "Nashville" (a great movie if you haven't seen it) the scene where Ronee Blakely is going to start her "comeback tour" by singing at a county fair. The band plays the intro, she starts singing, then stops singing and just starts talking to the audience about random stuff, the band starts again and she does the same thing again. Then you realize she is having a complete breakdown onstage in front of this crowd of people.
2. In "Band Of Brothers" (probably the best or second best war film ever) in the episode titled "Crossroads", Capt. Winters has about 1/2 the company lined up in a ditch getting ready to attack a German position of unknown strength. He passes the word to "go on the red smoke", the tosses out a smoke grenade, which kind fizzles for a couple of seconds, a couple of troops start out of the ditch they're in and a Lieutenant grabs one guys arm and says; "he said go on the red smoke".
The grenade sits there for about 8-10 seconds and the entire time Capt. Winters is running BY HIMSELF toward the unseen German lines. By the time the grenade goes off he's about 80-100 yards ahead of the rest of his men. Even though the movie is 7 years old, and this happened in the winter fall of '44, and I know that Dick Winters is still alive (or was the last I heard) I always get a knot in my stomach when I watch it.
3. In "Memphis Belle" when the co-pilot (I think it's Billy Zane) wants to go fire the guns at the German fighters, he hits one of them and the FW rolls over and slices through the fuselage of another B-17, for a little bit there's the sound of the radio operator on that plane as the fuselage parts spin out of control and then just a loud static screech.
"The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, Her Lover" Each location had it's own color to match what went on in that location. The wife and lover had an affair with the cook covering up for them. They got caught by the thief just before they made their escape. The thief tortured a choir singing boy by cutting off his nipples and shoving them down his throat. The thief found the lover and killed him in a gag inducing manner. The wife takes the lover to the cook for the cook to cook since he's famous for being able to cook anything. All the thief's enemies and wife wheel the table to the thief and uncover the lover's naked cooked body. The wife points a gun at the thief and order's him to eat. After he throws up on the meat on the fork, he chews and swallows it. It's a that point that she shoots him dead and says,..."cannibal". It was like a beautiful trainwreck that I couldn't take my eyes off.
I have to say one of them would be "Fargo" - just the fact that it is based on a true story... That much violence can come from what was supposed to be a "simple" act of greed. Part of what was disturbing is also the fact that there were parts of this story that were funny. It is very odd to find yourself almost laughing in the midst of such horrific events...
I totally agree. It freaked me out the first time I watched it and there is no way I'll ever try again.
