Death is interesting

I do think that it is extremely important people know exactly what they are about to see. People who watch this, are not watching it because they are disturbed human beings.Well, at least I am not. It is just like when you see an accident on the road. You may try to hide it, but most people want to see the dead body. Thats what this is. Yes, some scenes may be disturbing, but some people watch this stuff, and afterwords they feel like they have conquered their fear of death. All the things in this movie are real life, and I think its healthy to see it, rather than pretend this stuff doesn't happen. I recommend this to people who are fascinated with extreme human behavior, and extreme situations.
