I have only seen 2 films with scat and obviously they were fake, Salo and Tumbling Doll of Flesh.
This stuff does not phase me because I know it's fake.
You haven't seen Pink Flamingos?
Let's simply say, the smearing of dog shit across teeth as someone chews it (why was Divine
chewing the shit?), uh, may look a little closer to what at least the earlier scenes in Salo than what you give credit for.
As a side note, in real life I have a sympathetic gag reflex to other people puking. Some of that is the smell, which obviously movies can't capture, but there's also something else about that no film has ever triggered. Somehow, the actors got the revulsion to eating the shit in the early scenes triggering my gag reflex. And though there are signs of inauthenticity in the shit on the carpet, it could be a composite in terms of texture and color of shits that I've actually had i.e. I've had shits of that texture and almost that shape. I've had shits of that color. But I don't know if I've shits of that shape, texture, and color (at least based on my one and likely only viewing. Sometimes people go back and rewatch movies, and things do not appear on subsequent viewings as they do on the first viewing. The mind's eye playing tricks and all that). But even with the somewhat inauthentic aspects of the shits, reducing the impact initially, the scenes of people eating it wore on long enough that it just kind of broke me.
This has been Fecal Matters.
