Now, I don't understand how so many people feel that pornography is perfectly alright, if viewed and created by and for consenting adults, but at the same time despise death-films like this classic. I mean, sexuality is a normal part of human life which is celebrated and used as entertainment for adults who are mature enough to handle it. So, why can't it be the same way for violence and death? For the record, most of this film is fake (sense there's no way could amature video could capture and edit multiple camera angles) but even if it was real, as long as no one killed for the sole purpose of making the film (snuff) then what's the big deal? Don't thousands of people watch the assassination of JFK in history classes, over and over again? don't they show those scenes of the WTC falling down over and over again? what's the difference? And come on, we all have a fascination with death and violence. It is a s much a part of our identity as is our sexuality. But I don't see people calling erotica "sick" now do I? So then what is wrong with consenting adults watching "Faces of Death" or other such films? Nothing. And no matter who I've talked to about this film, I have yet to meet one person who did not sit down and watch the whole thing when given the chance. Face it...it's fascinating! :)
