8MM

I just finished watching 8MM. It is an excellent film depicting the gritty underworld of S & M pornography. What makes it so great is the way it shows how (but not always why) regular people can do "evil" things, and how an ordinary man is only two steps away from being a killer. You dance with the Devil, the Devil don't change. The Devil changes you.

People, even "evil people," are still human beings. There are no monsters. The only reason we make them out as such is becuase to admit that we are the same as "evil people" would be to acknowledge that there is a monster caged inside everyone of us, yearning to be released. And we don't want to taunt a caged beast, do we?
