  12. I saw this movie a few years ago and, like your wife, stopped watching it
  13. before the end.  The male friend who watched it with me continued viewing it
  14. but mostly to see what happened.  Unlike your wife, however, I don't think I
  15. was offended.  The violence, though explicit, was never really condoned
  16. since it was perpetrated by the thief, who had already been established as a
  17. horrendously grotesque character.  The violence was included to emphasize
  18. his corruption/decadence, not to glorify violence against children or
  19. torture.  I was, therefore, not offended.
