I tried to sit and watch Crash on dvd with my family. I had to leave after the first few minutes. I couldn't deal with the racial stereotypes and such. :-\

Re: Ever been so bothered by a subject you couldn't even sit through a movie about it
Most movies which deal with man's inhumanity to man.
I couldn't sleep after watching "Seven".
Many horror films also, in their zeal to offer fresh thrills, revolt me.
Murder, inhuman cruelty and torture, particularly of children, and those who are helpless, bother me the most.

I couldn't agree more! Off the top of my head, I can think of two movies that I totally enjoyed until the end. I could never watch then again, nor could I recommend then to anyone.

Freaks
The movie was adapted by Al Boasberg, Willis Goldbeck, Leon Gordon, and Edgar Allan Woolf from the short story Spurs by Tod Robbins. Browning, famed at the time for his collaborations with Lon Chaney and for directing Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), took the exceptional step of casting real people with deformities as the eponymous sideshow "freaks", rather than using costumes and makeup. Director Browning had been a member of a travelling circus in his early years, and much of the film was drawn from his personal experiences. He intended to portray the classic moral of how outer beauty does not necessarily equate to inner beauty. In the film, the physically deformed "freaks" are inherently trusting and honorable people, while the real monsters are two of the "normal" members of the circus who conspire to murder one of the performers to obtain his large inheritance.
Reaction to this film was so intense that Browning had trouble finding work afterwards, and this in effect brought his career to an early close. Because its deformed cast was shocking to moviegoers of the time, the film was banned in the United Kingdom for thirty years.
In 1994 the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry's archive of cinematic
treasures.
I was taken to see this film by an ex. who was a drama critic and film reviewer. I watched about 15 minutes of the film and without excusing myself or anything i walked out of the theatre. He came out a few minutes later. He started in with rationales that this was a "film classic." My response was - I do not want to hear about it or discuss it ever again. This is something I shall never forget that you have brought me to. We went for coffee and tea and snack - I never spoke the rest of the evening and when we got back to his place, I walked directly to my car and drove away. We did not speak for days.
I was enrolled in a special program to place trained personnell into the courts who would interact with children who had been sexually abused. Rather then them being questioned by several persons from various agencies - the legislature had decided a "gate keeper" would do the questioning of the child and all questions would be filtered through that person.
During the training, confidential - confiscated films were brought to our classes by members of the police departments and FBI. The room was in a lock down situation, meaning no one could enter the room once a film was being shown and if one left the room during the showing of a film you could not return for any reasons. We viewed films that were made here in the states and in eastern Europe of children from ages 3-4 into their teens - some of these individuals were "trade" - children bought for sexual purposes of making films but also for prostitution.
One film, in the third week of this class dealt with the sexual child abuse of a youngster in 6-8 years of age. After about 10 minutes, i picked up all of my things and notified the instructor i was leaving the room. While i remained in the program for another year with the mentoring or two professors, when ever it came time to show any of those films, I immediately left the room. I can tell you that i have never forgotten what i saw in that film. That an adult male could do the things that were done and laugh and talk about it while ccommitting those actions was beyond anything i have ever seen since.. You have no idea of what types/kinds of films there are out there being bought and traded amongst "average-normal adults.?"
The Program Law and Order Special Victims Unit did a two part program on this very issue about 5 years ago, and in my judgment from the information and experieces i had had through the above program and other training situations, they truly did a first class job of telling the public of what is really going on in various nations throughout the world, including to a large degree right here in the United States. And it all comes down to one item - $$$$$.

Freaks is a favorite of mine, but it is very hard to watch. I've only been able to sit through it a couple times.

Actually, there's nothing thus far that has gotten to me...
"Hard Candy" was a little hard to watch considering some of the scenes and the subject matter, but it was overall a very good film...
Besides that, nothing has made me stop watching...

"In Cold Blood"
...but seeing "Capote" made me want to read his book; I'm still not sure I could watch the movie, though...same thing I guess, people taken prisoner and begging for their lives,
(And now I see there's a new movie coming out starring Catherine Keener, who played Harper Lee in "Capote", as a woman with a bunch of kids who tortured and starved a girl to death - with the help of her other children and neighborhood children, a true story from 1965...sigh. I guess this is all necessary to deal with...but I don't need to watch... )

Schindlers List

to name a few had 'that' effect on me. An incredible sadness, I think...

Supersize me.
I'm too much of a fan of mcdonalds to care about how much weight some stupid jerk put on only eating mcdonalds for 30 days. I just remember thinking at the time "well duh!" no real revelations there.

Re: Ever been so bothered by a subject you couldn't even sit through a movie about it
Theres never been a movie that I left cause it disturbed me too much. Although their are those movies that really got to me, and always made me leave or turn off the TV.
One that comes to mind is Mysterious Skin, around the end where he started talking about what happened to him and the other guy in the movie, I almost couldnt watch the rest of it.
Another is Schindler's List. I still have a hard believe people can be that cruel. Just so inhuman.
And American History X. A friend of mine told me about it, and I was interested to see what happened. And I almost turned that one off as well. It was just way too much.
Those three movies I can never bring myself to watch again.

Shrek. The subject matter disturbed me so much...I just could't sit through it at all.
Talking donkeys has been a sore point for me since my teenage years.

Re: Ever been so bothered by a subject you couldn't even sit through a movie about it
I've watched loads of films that made me uncomfortable on that level (Mysterious Skin, L.I.E., Requiem For a Dream, etc) but I feel better for having sat through them.
I think its important to watch these things, especially movies like Schindlers List or The Pianist. Yes, they're uncomfortable, but they're not supposed to be "fun".

Re: Ever been so bothered by a subject you couldn't even sit through a movie about it
Bad acting?
But seriously... anything having to do with torture will generally prevent me from seeing a movie. And anything having to do with being buried alive makes me very uncomfortable (the only part of the Kill Bill movies that actually had me squirming in my seat was the bit when Beatrix was in that grave... I almost cried).
But I've never left a movie once it's started, even when it's utterly ghastly. I always want to see what happens next.

Hostel made me think twice about traveling abroad. As for kidnappings, muggings and the sort... thats what dog chains and switchblades are for. By the time cops respond to a call, you could be 100km away, So I don't rely on them much.

Genocide. Hotel Rwanda had me checking my watch every 2 minutes and asking myself how long the movie was.

It's one of my favorite movies and I've sat through it several times, but I don't think any movie has ever made me feel quite the way that Requiem for a Dream did. A little too close to home, I think.
