If you want to see a movie that would suprise you that there were hardly any protests about it, just watch the movie "Irreversible". I believe it's an Italian flick.

I have it, and at first it was very difficult to follow due to the fact it was chronicled backwards... meaning, the last events happen first, etc. However, the point is, it was a beautifully well made film. It won many critical acclaim at Cannes. But it shows some of the most horrific scenes of brutality I've seen in a mainstream film in a long time. There was a rape scene that lasts for 10 min, and the camera did not cut once... one continuous scene. Another scene shows a guy getting his face beat to a pulp until he was dead and even beyond death. Yet because the underlying plot and tale to be told was so powerful, it forced you to look at those scenes as they should be looked at... with disgust.

Therefor, it's clearly of far more moral value than say... Bumfights.
