Uncomfortable Film/TV/Game Moments

[IOwnTheSpire]

Has anyone else experienced moments in films, shows, or games that made you very uncomfortable? There's one that makes my chest ache whenever I think about it. It's from Game of Thrones, and while the show tends to show things like murder and rape in a negative light (as it should), there's one moment they just gloss over:

Spoiler

The age of adulthood in Westeros (therefore the age at which you can consumate a marriage) is 16. Tommen Baratheon is 15, Margaery Tyrell is 24ish. In the books, they can't consumate the marriage because Tommen is underage (12 in the books, Margaery is 17 in the books). Do they keep that for the show? Of course not. Instead, Margaery RAPES Tommen (since he's underage, it IS rape) multiple times, and then BRAGS about it to her ladyfriends. Holy. Shit. I was able to tolerate turning Margaery into an Anne Boleyn clone, but this crosses the line as far as I'm concerned.

Anyone else got any moments that make you uncomfortable?

I hate cringe comedy. I can't stand it. Well, except for in Watamote. That one, the bookstore always put aside a copy for me.

I also hate series with lots of bullying. That's why it was so hard for me to get through the manga Life, and why I couldn't even finish the spiritual sequel, Limit.

 

[Breakdown]

Pretty much all of Far Cry 2. Especially the mission where you transport a load of weapons into a town to break a ceasefire. And running over a zebra in a truck by mistake.

 

[Zontar]

Children, adolescence or women with a very high voice screaming. Doesn't matter what's causing it, it's the screaming which itself that makes me uncomfortable. I remember seeing a women ripped apart in a movie (can't remember which) and despite the very strong attention to detail placed on the realistic looking practical effect, the only thing which really got my jaded ass to feel miffed was the screaming.

 

[Silvanus]

Sex stuff, when I'm watching with my mother, and it just goes on for too damn long.

 

[vledleR]

Slow deaths. The ones that stick out in my mind are Jamie Smith in Black Hawk Down, Mikey in Rocky III, and Joey in Sometimes a Great Notion

 

[Marter]

The suicide scene in The Rules of Attraction. I won't post a video because ... yeah, but you can look it up if you want. I struggled through that.

Hm, moments in films, shows, or games that made me uncomfortable? Well...

I'm not really into anmie and such (it's just not my Cup of tea) but I watched some of them with a friend a couple of years ago. The first one was actually pretty decent. Can't remember the name, I think it was something like "wings of somethingsomething".
The second one was... not so decent. I have no idea what it was called but one of many unsettling moments that stuck in my mind was when a couple of childrens got mowed down by a helicopter gunship. And they showed every chunk sized piece of brain, flesh, entrails etc flying through the street. Bloody hell...
Things like that are quite unsettling for me to watch.

The entire Green Lantern movie, start to finish.

 

[The Purple Grape]

Very little, since most 'dark', 'gritty' 'adult' and 'mature' stories are so woefully predictable and just usually get an eye roll from me. To make me uncomfortable I don't want to be able to see it coming 3 hours before.

Sex stuff, when I'm watching with my mother, and it just goes on for too damn long.

I was watching 300 II the other day with my mother. needless to say prolonged hate sex is fairly uncomfortable in movies.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Hm All of Tetsuo: the iron man. But I believe that was their intention. I wouldn't watch it again without some form of method to relax throughout the assualt of the senses.

Also the end of Requiem for a Dream. Anyone who has seen, will understand. The theme for the film has been permanently scarred into my psyche now.

Edit: A specific example, possibly more well known; American History X, just the sound of teeth against the roadside curb just made me curl up with tingly teeth. Though watching it now, I would not be as phased. But that is only natural.

The last time I felt that was during Jurassic World. The death of the assistant who had to guide those two kids around. That went on way too long and was way too cruel. I still haven't a clue what was the point of that one, and it didn't feel good to watch it at all. Not to mention that no one cared in the film. Like, what?!

That feeling was a little strenghtened by my more general unconfortableness of seeing (pretty) ladies die horribly. I can't stand that at all, which I realize is a little, and oddly, sexist.

 

[fix-the-spade]

The end of the opening level in Wolfenstein: The New Order.

I'm normally fine with stuff like that, but something about that little sequence when you re-meet Death's Head I find so deeply upsetting that I haven't actually got past that part of the game.

 

[Kiardras]

Human Centipede 1, the scene where she tries to escape the bed, and rips the thing in her arm our following the line of a vein. Pretty much the only thing thats ever bothered me in a film/tv.

Some of the film Martyrs nearly made me uncomfortable, but even the

Spoiler

skinning her alive at the end

I got through ok. Desensitised to most things and it never fazes me.

Probably not a good thing, but meh.

 

[fezzthemonk]

Irriversable has ~5 min rape scene. No cuts, no changes in cammera angle, nothing. Just rape. Also the beggining scene is one of the most uncomfortable thimgs ive ever seen.

 

[pookie101]

uncomfortable.. seeing animals hurt in shows and weirdly in games where there is a big ball or party and you have to do the mingle, etc totally out of my league in real life so its not a comfortable thing to do in game. the big ball in dragon age inquisition was something i hated for that reason.. im with my inquisitor.. give me a dragon or rampaging horde of darkspawn any time over that

 

[Guffe]

One movie that had several scene which made me go: uuughh, or oh my fucking God that's horrible was Splice.
I very seldom get a "bad feeling in my stomach", but that movie had some moments I felt very uncomfortable with.
And that's in a bad way, like getting sick.

Then there is one movie when I watched it I just went speechless and sat there watching the screen for the entire end credit scene just wondering if that just happened. The movie was: Buried. I guess it had the desired effect on me.

The second one was... not so decent. I have no idea what it was called but one of many unsettling moments that stuck in my mind was when a couple of childrens got mowed down by a helicopter gunship.

That show was called Geno Cyber and it's probably one of the vilest anime's out there. And not because it was violent, but because it shows no regard or respect for it. It's like watching a vicious child torture an animal, and not even gleefully, but with a banal look on his face. I've seen hentai that had more class then this anime. It came out in an era when the hard-edged, post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk genre was popular in anime, so a lot of studios just made really trashy anime filled with shock value. And Geno Cyber was the worst of them all.
