Sabina Holtby - The Jacket

I already posted this one but I forgot to put my name so I am re-posting it:

I had a very strong emotional response to the film The Jacket. The opening scene of the movie was filled with strong images of violence and brutality. The oppressive colors and sounds were overwhelming my senses to the point of overload. Mere ten or fifteen minuets of the film I knew that I could not stand this assault on my senses. I found the montage in the institution for the criminally insane to be totally de humanizing. The total lack of respect for the main character was far too much for me to bear. The moment that caused me to leave was when the main character was dragged down the stairs and strapped into a stained jacket and put in the cold temperature chamber, the sense of claustrophobia and the raw mortality was too intense for me.
