Today I learned that 10dailythings.com is apparently a repository for underage retards.
My favorite bit of genius thus far?
“I hate to say, but it is real. It really did happen. I also saw the footage in the seventies in an Italian Documentary at the cinema.”
hahahahaha. Yeah, that 70’s Italian Documentary you saw in the grindhouse theatre? That was a mondo film, ie- a “shockumentary” featuring staged footage for shock value. Explicit sex, nudity or violence was illegal in US films in the 70s unless it could be argued that it was for educational or documentary purposes as opposed to simply being for perverted titilation purposes, the so-called “prurient interest”.
Thus, even if they had not wanted to (which of course they did), mondo filmmakers were forced to present all of their footage as real because admitting they had staged any of the gory scenes would be proving to the government that the film was not actually trying to educationally document a real event and was just an excuse to for weirdos to watch stuff die on screen, even if it didn’t actually die, if you get my point.
What this means was that not only was it the director’s goal to make the staged scenes as believably realistic as possible, it was also in his best interests if he wanted to get the film approved as a documentary in the US. The exploitation film directors turned this into an art form; the Guinea Pig torture/gore films, for instance, are shockingly realistic if you don’t know how to spot the low-budget slip ups. Fooled Charlie Sheen and (briefly) the Japanese government, anyway.
Go read the Snopes thread, and re-watch the video while noticing all the inconsistencies and crafty editing techniques. Learn how these guys did it. Only then will you actually learn something from this.
And for the love of shit, all you idiots going “OMG TEH LION 8 HIM”, turn on your fucking common sense detectors, please.
I sincerely hope your right…
