I just found the movie, it is totaly sick...
I heard that all of it was done for real during the shouting of the film and that the whole crue(those who have survived to the end of the movie) were sentenced to the death penalty...
Have you heard about it? Is it true?
i don't know if this will help but i find a site that talks about it http://home.clara.net/raydav/paradisecinema_salo.html
Of course it wasnt done for real and noone died or was put to death after it. Its a film nothing more.
I have never seen this film,but I willhave a look on the net and see what I can find, then come back to you.
However, films are very good at making us believe what the director or writer want us to believe, rather than what is reality and fiction. If anyone has ever read 'Masterpieces' by Sarah Daniels( a play where a woman goes to see the first proper 'snuff' movie in a cinema in the UKin the 1980s and then kills a man as a result.) then thats a good example of a film really influencing someone, although we still dont know if the film was real of fake.
Ive just had a bit of a read on a website, and it sounds very intrueging, if not a little disturbing.
