A Serbian film was just disgusting, and not in the way it was trying to be. It tried so hard to be shocking that it ended up being this "took a shit in the face of intelligence by being way too obvious with it's agenda"

I've never seen Rampage.

I can't speak for you. In my opinion, there are many ways a movie can be offensive.

Like when a writer/director fails to be reverent, subtle, or intelligent about touchy subjects, they end up creating something offensive. It's offensive in the sense that people really suffer, and these creators are getting paid to re-purpose real suffering into entertainment, without adding to the conversation.

Or when a movie is so mindless, it's basically calling it's audience stupid for watching it.

Or when a creator tricks people into liking a movie by distracting them from the plot with flashing lights.

Or stealing good content from better movies.

Or being so bad it's un-watchable, like a big fart, the experience is just offensive.

Things just usually don't offend me so easily, that's all.

Most of what you said, I don't find "offensive."

If a movie offends you, you need to unplug.

The word offensive can be used to describe something unpleasant, as well as abusive.

I don't mind being offended by certain things in movies. Saving private Ryan, the whole idea that several men die to save just 1 is an offensive idea towards the regard of human life, yet i thouroughly like that movie. Then there's disgusting things like 'a serbian film', where things are portrayed just for the purpose of shockvalue. Same goes with human centipede to a degree, but sometimes we like to be shocked, disgusted and offended.
If you are unable to allow yourself to be offended/disgusted/shocked, you should loop the last scenes from lord of the rings where they hug and cry and have this whole rainbow feelgood vibe going on with a hint of sadness of goodbyes.

I think the real question should be: what does offend you when it was done in the real world, and you would find a whole lot more movies offensive and yet you tolerate it for the sake of amusement.

For these reasons.

And obviously because negroes are dressing up as respectable white women as well.

Oh man, I've see a ton of movies... I watch like 2 movies a day/night, w/e, lol.

No movie has offended me.
And the prime reason behind that is simple; movies are made to make $, a form of entertainment and knowing that, no movie should offend anyone.
Documentaries are a different story.

If you're able to dissect the underlining reasons for movies that "might" offend you, you'll be able to understand why the movie was made, comprehend it, and then it "should" cease to offend you.

But hey, everyone is different and I respect all opinions about the matter :hug:
