TheMoviePool borrows Arcee from NFamousGamers, in order to take you through his list of the best (and probably most disturbing) films about revenge.
Revenge - the deliberate harming of another in response to a grievance - real or imagined.
Though revenge may mirror justice or punishment, it’s usually more punitive and visceral than either harmonious or restorative. As horrible as revenge may be, psychologically, it may be more satisfying since our basic instincts rationalize it as an appropriate response when one feels hurt or wronged. Revenge is a strong feeling, deeply rooted within everyone’s psyche. The majority of us can remain in control of that base instinct and let a proper justice system runs its course in meting out justice. We give way to logic and rationale rather than to succumb to such barbaric emotions. Yet they still remain in our psychological makeup even when justice is served.
