Well, I agree the most controversial scene was the beheaded horse one. I was little when the movie first came out and I was scared just at the idea to see a beheaded horse. Then when the scene arrived I think I was not as terrified as I expected to be. Not that I was comfortable with it, of course, but I guess all the buzz about the scene possibly helped me be prepared.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
