This is Tuesday, May 19th
As I woke upto a very humid evening after having come back from office pretty early, it took me some time to settle down and contemplate of all the things I have learnt today. Be it, looking at the everyday workI do in the office or the way I plan out my studies once I am at my place. I was too tired and bored of all the things going around. So I decided to watch a movie by the name of 'Hostel'.
Goshh...a movie cannot be more gross and gory! it seemed like somebody from the time of the Nazis have actually got the scenes on the camera ! It left me with a headache and never-ending thirst for water in my throat! So much blood....and all for what??..well I don't know still..some lunatics cutting up innocent victims to satisfy their devilish needs...sexual as well as experimental!! ( well I don't know what else )...it makes you sick at your guts!
I have had dinner an hour before I started watching the movie..and I was almost about to throw up! I am not at all weak-hearted and horror movies or violent war scenes do not bother me as such..but this one was something else.A different league altogether. The existence of such kind of movies is evidence of the fact that there are takers for this stuff as well and that is what concerns me..!!
Director Eli Roth needs to understand that shedding gallons of blood makes the audience sick and encourages perverted sex. It gives you ideas...for young minds it can be disastrous! well after having seen this piece of bloodbath I had to take a clean and long bath to make sure that I wasn't having the bloody images hovering in my mind still..! I needed to make myself a strong cup of tea and decided to write this blog. But before I lash out at Eli Roth, I did some google search and found out that people who practise such customs do exist and such underground clubs where people pay to kill people are also present. So I would not want to say that Eli Roth's depiction of murder in Hostel is totally imaginary. It has a strong base but my only question is, why show it?
Why make it a franchise?..I mean this is not even porn! common guys, who would wanna kill people in the name of sex other than a luny?....
The way we are going back to medieval times is stupefying and it is so shocking to see that internet has actually made the shadows darker than what they used to be 500 years back !sometimes I think are we going too fast?....are we actually trying to catch up with technology and failing more often?....are we creating information just because we have a medium to communicate it?...and are we becoming less responsible about the aftermaths of our actions?...!!
Well, only time can tell but when I think about it, I would say the soceity as a whole is becoming a more perilious place to live in. Nuclear families with children having no source of entertainment other than video games ( which are mostly about killing monsters ) are nudging at the darker side them.Soon they would come to know about stuff like Hostel and a trust me, out of 100 children of 13-16 age group, 95 would turn it off being unable to bear anymore...but there would be 5 of them always who would not...and that's where directors like Eli Roth would get their ideas from....yes, alarmingly, from real life.....!!!

BTW this movie is a 5 pointer on IMDB and not a commercial success, so chill! Humanity is still alive and will triumph over all such Devil's stuff :-)
