You are a pretentious faggot. Where do you get off making claims that the second half of Martyrs is both boring and pretentious? He was aspiring to change your preconception of where you thought the film was going. He changes the tables on the viewer and the second half has much more weight, especially thematically, than the revenge/slasher-type film that you see in the first half.

To bad his uncontrolled ambition still seems to be his weak spot. Hence the amazingly boring/pretentious second half of Martyr (and his first flick Saint Ange)… but god that first half was good.
