For those that enjoy films that give us glimpses into people’s lives and let us be passersby to their experiences, then Carnage is an absorbing feature. Liking this film doesn’t make one snooty at all, some of us just don’t always require direct plot nor overwhelmingly “beautiful” people to be entertained. Like the brilliant 2001 film Bug, it connects different people to one incident, and how their lives interconnect even if they don’t realize it’s happened. Watch Carnage Movie Online
In this case, it’s the death of a bull after a bullfight. The bull is butchered and the different parts go out to people in different European countries. That part is really incidental, as the main concern is how these folks’ lives interconnect and lives are lost, saved, secrets revealed, and friendships made. I confess I was slightly confused by some of the conversations and revelations, but that did not wreck the experience for me, it just meant I had to go back and view it again at some point to absorb the story better.
The actors in Carnage were quite refreshing to see, they seemed like real people instead of pristine mega-stars. I must disagree strongly with a reviewer here who kept insisting, for instance, that the naked people in the primal scream therapy scenes were all fat and not ones you’d want to see naked. Take a closer look at that scene, buddy. Different shapes and sizes. Look around you and you’ll see 99% of people are not beautiful models, and to just have naked beautiful models in the pool would have made the entire scene unbelievable. These were intended to be REAL people, and frankly it’s real people that I find to be more attractive instead of fit, shaved “hotties!” Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…I’m sure there are plenty who found the folks in the pool just fine — Clovis Cornilla as Alexis and ‘Mr. Beard’ seemed quite masculine indeed, and the women were beautiful each in their own way. Those that criticise how these actors look should take a good look in the mirror at themselves and wake up.

My only discomfort with Carnage are the scenes of the bullfighting. I abhor any abuse of animals, and seeing the poor bulls being slowly killed to the delight of a crowd upset me. I don’t know for certain if the bullfighting scenes were real in the manner that the bulls were actually harmed, but I have to understand the fact that this was considered a sport in Spain and I try to focus on the stories of the characters’ lives.
