Michael Haneke Interview (excerpt 3)

very smart guy with a very special sense of humour

The point Haneke is trying to get across in this movie is extremely well portrayed. I'd have to say that I probably won't be able to site through it again, but will keep it on my favorite movies list. not for the violence, but for the way it was portrayed.

"Fuck You Michael Haneke" !!!

very interesting interview.

great movie and great interview..his explanation really makes sense to me...5/5 on the video..this guy is awesome

self defense or not, the violent outcome is the same. and i wouldn't call it self defense cuz they didn't necessarily attack her as she shot the guy, i'd think of it more like a sign that she wanted to avenge her lost son or to show that she isn't going to take this bullshit anymore.

like i said tho, violence is still involved. in which case, the audience will always applaud for it, whether for good or bad.

Actually, they applaud self-defense.
If you don't see the difference, then YOU are idiot!

you should listen to Cuckoo Clock of Doom by 'Dr. Acula'. that song is even more twisted than this. If anything, they should've put in some Anorexia Nervosa or Dawn of Ashes for a more organized simplistic 'beats' lol

its bonehead not shock corridor

"they were manipulated"

They weren't applauding because they were applauding murder. they were applauding that the scene rewound and they must have found it condescending.
