I'm not talking about movies that were ****** in the past for being too gory (ie ******** Holocaust etc) or religiously insensitive at the time but would be accepted now, I mean movies where the subject matter is still controversial no matter what the time period is. Here are 5 I can think off:
Irreversible
Audience reaction to both the lengthy, violent sexual ****** (especially female viewers) and disquietingly ****** ****** has ranged from appreciation of its artistic merit to leaving the theater in disgust
The Passion Of The Christ
Accused of being nothing but a '***** movie' and strongly anti-Semitic
Natural Born Killers
Director Stone has continually maintained that the film is a satire on how serial killers are adored by the media for their horrific actions and that those who claim that the ******** in the movie itself is a cause of societal ******** miss the point of the movie
Crash
The film was extremely controversial, as was the book because of its vivid depictions of graphic sexual acts instigated by ********
Fahrenheit 9/11
British-American journalist and literary critic Christopher Hitchens contended that Fahrenheit 9/11 contains distortions and untruths (it was supposedly a Documentary)
Others I couln't fit in were:
The Last Temptation Of Christ - The film depicts Christ being tempted by imagining himself engaged in sexual activities, a notion that has caused outrage from some Christians
A Clockwork Orange - A shocking look at adolescent ********
The Exorcist - Writing in Rolling Stone, Jon Landau felt the film was, "Nothing more than a religious porn film''
Feel free to add more
