ick. my god i can barely watch it. i haven't even finished.It's so gross.
but maybe you all can watch all the way through.
kind of like how people get "stuck" together in one hole.
and two women in there. with those men. *smh*
oh it didnt show:
?_ haven't seen it all yet. Got creeped out.
you'd think after watching tv series like, "walking dead" and those cannibalism films like Texas chainsaw massacre....
well i finally got to finish it.
OMG.
ick.
i love post apocalyptic stuff, and films on it, but wow, i guess, yeah. this is what happens.
Id rather be dead then be stuck in there.
here's a good review/summary:
http://io9.com/5781913/why-the-divide-is-the-most-disturbing-end-of-the-world-flick-weve-ever-seen

In almost every post-apocalyptic story the hero usually stumbles upon a group of horrific survivors that demonstrate just how low humanity can go. The Divide is that group's origin story. After seeing this film, I needed to take a shower.
Xavier Gens's (The Frontiers) film will not sit well with you. It shouldn't sit well with you. In fact if you make it through Gen's film without flinching, we can't be friends anymore because something is horribly wrong with you. What starts out as your classic post-apocalypse survival story, ends in horror. Filthy, disgusting, shower-crying horror. And I really loved it.
Granted, it took me a few hours to come to terms with the raw brutality I witnessed on screen, but after the disgust subsided, the awe sunk in. But let me state now that I'm not going to spoil any of the big screen moments or reveals, because this movie is better watched unspoiled.
Nine strangers are trapped in a bomb shelter after NYC is apparently blown to bits. Most of the film takes place inside the dusty basement owned by the exceptionally grizzled building superintendent, Michael Biehn. This shell-shocked 9/11 victim begrudgingly cares for the collection of strangers (including Milo Ventimiglia and Rosanna Arquette). Terrified by Biehn's rants about radiation poisoning and mutation, they remain trapped underground. By Biehn and his axe, by their own fear, (and later on) by an unknown menace on the other side of the door. Soon enough the survivors are at each other's throats.
As the minutes tick by days become weeks, weeks become months, time starts to blur causing the audience to get just as confused and lost as the survivors. It's almost impossible to tell just how long everyone has been trapped in this bomb shelter (there's no daylight to indicate time or clocks). The characters start to lose their sanity. Little grievances spark massive fights and soon enough, we're going full-blown Lord of the Flies, only with more sexual assault, dirt and lunacy."
this guy, Cancer sun/Aries moon,mars taurus/venus gemini
really played a shocking role, but damnnnn. Omg. He just stands out to me.
he played such a nice guy in some parts, but at the end. Holy hell.


in the film, his weakest point is his brother, played by aquarius sun /gemini moon/cancer mars
Ashton Holmes. Poor guy. he seemed so passive and played a really sweet passive role.

hm dont know what happened to the links.
let me try again:
poor Rossanna Arquette. From single,protective mother...to. sex slave
actually, Milo (the actor) was NEVER a nice guy in the film. He had some "soft" spots/moments when it's his brother, and he did cry for Rosanna (the actresses little girl), but then later.
(but he was never really a nice guy. Not nice guy type that's for sure. Probably why i like him. Lmao!!)
anyway, damn....at the end, Jesus christ. Talk about losing your humanity.
