Review of Philosophy of a Knife (2008) by Sanjid P — 10 Oct 2008

I think no normal person but freak like me can watch this kinda film. I'm quite sure enough that definitely this is going to be a new addition in a higher rank to the sub genre of sickest, disturbingly disgusting and explicit brutal violent movies ever made!

Every single experiment (TORTURES) has been showcased in gruesome details which is one of the reasons for it being 4 hours long (broken into two parts, 2 hours each). The prisoners of Unit 731 were test subjects who were not war criminals or enemy soldiers but general people. They needed the people with normal health condition so they could understand the effects of the experiments and the various reactions on human bodies to certain situations. Surely its B&W format made it quite watch able for some viewers. Intensely distressing soundtrack adds another level of madness to this visually challenging documentary film.

I have read in some other review that Andrey Iskanov was thoroughly investigated by the KGB while conducting his research for this film�¢�¦the film where his purpose was to remember those who sacrifice their lives for the benefits of others.
