I the violence that bad? i love violence, but some of the new torture porn makes me uncomfortable.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There are 2 scenes in particular, both involving sexual organs, where I almost turned it off and felt a little queasy. And I'm someone who watches a ton of violent movies. It takes a great deal to disturb me. That said, the rest of the movie is not what you would consider horror or torture porn at all. That's what makes the violence stand out. It seems a bit out of place given the pacing of the movie, but it does have a purpose, even though Von Trier probably should have held back a little and just alluded to it, and not blatantly revel in it just for the sake of shock value.
