Sex & Nudity
-
- A young man's bare butt is seen.
Violence & Gore
-
- A young man is pressured into being a winner by his father; in one scene, the father shoots the hose at the boy. The boy shivers and yells at him to stop, but the father makes him endure it.
- A young man, the same being pressured being his father (see above), is shown with a knife in his wrist in a brief montage while we hear him saying insecure things.
- A man is shown pulling blinds up and down while having the cord wrapped around his neck.
- A young man holds a BB gun up at a poster of Adolf Hitler while yelling obscenities. He never fires it.
- A young man in the film, who is a wrestler, pretends that a plastic garbage can is his opponent and he crushes it and pretends to destroy it while speaking to it in menacing ways. This is a brief scene.
- A young man is almost hit by a car while walking the dog, but he doesn't seem to notice.
- A man describes the ending of "Dirty Harry" to his son (the shootout). It is not described in violet terms though it deals with a violent battle to the death.
- A young girl has a strange conversation with the main character about how she will die. She claims that she will jump from a high dive diving board and die when she hits the water. This conversation is most likely not meant to be taken seriously.
- A man forces his son to slap and hit himself in the face. This is very emotional scene, but not necessarily violent.
Profanity
-
-
- About 15 F-words and several other scatological/crude bodily terms
-
- A man calls his daughter a "slut."
-
- "S**t" is used several times in a wrestling sequence, so is the majority of the f-bombs in the film.
-
- "Crap" is used by a young boy once (as in "pieces of crap"). He later says "go to the bathroom and eat the s**t" to a young man.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- A man drinks a bottle of cough syrup as if it were water to get a "natural high."
- A man is shown smoking a cigarette.
- A man teaches his son a balance trick where he must stand on an upside down drinking glass and must pick a cigarette up in his mouth. The father then dares him to smoke it, but the boy refuses.
- In an extended sequence, a man is shown eating cigarettes as a trick. The cigarettes are obviously fake, but they seem fairly realistic.
- A young schizophrenic man (the main character) is shown taking his meds.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is an extended sequence involving a church service in which the main character is shown crying and praising the Lord very enthusiastically. Many may feel this to be a moving scene, whether you are religious or not.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- It is revealed by the film's main character that his mother had died in the hospital after he was born.
- While skating at an ice rink, a young pregnant woman falls down on her stomach. She yells in a terrifying fashion and she is shown being rushed to the hospital. A doctor is seen with some blood on his gloved hands. It is then revealed that the woman had a miscarriage, but we never explicitly see the corpse of the baby. It is shown being wrapped in a bundle at the hospital with minimal blood seen. This is extremely emotional more than anything else. The main character, the father of the baby (who had sex with his sister), takes the dead baby home and cradles it all the way, crying and whimpering. This is very sad and fairly touching within the context of the film.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- There are many intensely strange and perverse scenes. Also, there are some emotional scenes that involve child abuse, intense family conflicts, and implications of incest.
- The ending of this film is extremely heartbreaking and touching. It involves a miscarriage and is explained in full in the Violence & Gore section above.
