As you probably
already know, I like porn. Backroom
Casting Couch is one of my favourite online series of videos, and I love
them because the fantasy is great and the performers are usually gorgeous. But
this is an example of ‘regular’ porn that ‘regular’ Joes tend to watch. But,
people with fetishes have their own porn too.
Something like a
decade ago, I came across a Max Hardcore video or two. I don’t remember which
ones, but it doesn’t really matter as they all are very similar, as is often
the case with gonzo porn. I watched attractive girls doing filthy things with
this dirty old man; and vomit was involved. That’s the kind of fetishist porn I
was talking about above. Such is the case of the title that I am about to
review here.
Max Hardcore may
be American, and he even did time in jail, but this kind of porn is more often
booming in countries such as Brazil. And 2
Girls 1 Cup was made in Brazil by Marco Fiorito who specializes in porn
involving piss, scat, and vomit. But what is it about this video in particular
that made it the most famous disgusting piece of viral madness ever unleashed
on the internet? First let’s talk a little bit about what’s on screen...
An opening
credits sequence involving z-grade animation is introducing us to the title’s
female leads: Karla who is blonde and chubby, and Latifa who is brunette and
skinny. The only sexy thing about this pair is Latifa’s tattoos, and even
those, not very much so. Said performers enter a kitchen and they start kissing
passionately. And they lick each other’s pussies and assholes. They actually
seem to be into each other.
Anyway, the
girls got hungry (Hungry Bitches is
the original title), and when Karla finds the refrigerator to be empty, Latifa
gets an idea. Karla is holding a cup, in which Latifa takes a shit. She then
urinates on her big turd. How’s that for topping? They lick the shit like it is
some kind of chocolate ice-cream, and then they eat it like it is food, and
then they vomit it in each other’s mouths. They play with their food, and they
swallow shit. And this goes on and on for a while. Until, on the 23rd
minute mark, shit stains appear on the camera lens and the editor is using the
first dissolve; which is the sole cut of the picture. The whole thing is just
two one-shots, but more on that later.
Latifa paints
Karla’s ass with shit and then licks it. She vomits on dat ass and licks the
puke too. Finally Karla takes a crap too, this time in a bowl, and after the
girls smell it (they seem to love the aroma), they eat it, and vomit it into
each other’s mouths. And this goes on and on for a little while. Latifa puts
shit in Karla’s ass, using her tongue and fingers. And for the finale, the
girls take shit and puke from the floor, put it in the bowl, and eat it
passionately. And then Salò (1975)
fans think they’ve seen something extraordinary...
So, like I said
above, this whole video consists of two one-shots. This alone is an achievement
in itself. Those two long one-shots seem choreographed (although I’m sure they
weren’t too much), and that alone makes this look more like a piece of
provocative performance art instead of low budget porn. I can’t believe I’m
writing this about a video about shit eating, but the shots are not static,
which is something not many mention in their reviews. The camera operator seems
to know both porn angles and cinema.
The actresses
(yes, I said it, actresses), have a little bit of dialogue, but it is in
Portuguese, and I watched the video sans subtitles, so I don’t know what they
were talking about, but I’m sure it wasn’t philosophy. Some of the moans seemed
to be overdubbed, but now that I think of it, did anyone really bothered to do
‘sound design’ for this?
When I decided
to watch this, I thought, okay, 60 minutes of vomit swallowing won’t be too
difficult to get through. But I was wrong. There is only so much shit
(literally) you can watch being eaten. And the problem is that there are some
things you cannot un-see. The mind doesn’t work like a computer, and there’s no
‘undo’ button for brains, so I don’t know when I will be able to forget all
this dirt, if ever.
The video became
the most famous scat flick in history of porn because someone uploaded a
one-minute trailer in websites he shouldn’t, and people who never watched such
gonzo atrocities before freaked out and consequently made it viral. Then many
people filmed their reactions watching this video, which became an online
trend. I’m not into watching videos of people watching a trailer for a scat
porn video so I missed all the fun back in 2007 when the craze took place.
