If it doesn't bother you for a week - you're sick.

If you're not sick - why watch something that will bother you for a week?

The first time I saw a murder in a movie I couldn't get the picture out of my mind for a week. Unfortunately, everything gets desensitized eventually. It's a natural (and self-protective) measure the body takes.

True, but real-life murder is not the same. Also, is it something you want to become desensitised to?

I didn't watch this one, but I personally don't see the difference between watching this and watching Saddam Hussein's hanging.

For entertainment. Your point being?

Watching a murder in a movie is 10000000 times different than watching this beheading

In a movie, no matter how gory and no matter how much blood - it is all an act. No one dies in real life. It's fancy ketchup and rubber skin looking objects.

In a video like this - a human being is killed.
