The Most Impure Tale Ever Written: The 120 Days of Sodom

- We all have our favourite artists.
Whether they paint, direct, write, perform, act, or all of the above, there are certain types of artists that appeal to us in a way that inspire devotion to their every move in their chosen field.
You don’t necessarily have to like every move they make. Sometimes the artist makes a misstep - a bad album, movie, book, whatever - but it doesn’t necessarily knock them down from the pedestal you had placed them on.
However, sometimes an artists’ misstep can amount to much greater consequences than a bad review. Sometimes the “misstep” is off a cliff.
In recent times the exposing of degenerate acts by prominent figures has become a frequent occurrence. I can think of many high-profile celebs within the last year that have been shown to harbour more sinister desires than their overly friendly face and demeanour would lead you to believe.
Artists are no different. I’m sure the majority watching has discovered something undesirable about their favourite painter, director, writer, actor, or musician, at some point.
But that is when you are led to the age-old question that must be pondered in such a scenario as this: do you separate the art from the artist?
I would have to assume that separating the art from the artists is the more common approach.
But sometimes an artists’ views and/or actions (for good or ill) are so entwined within their work that separating their paintings, movies, books, or albums from themselves is impossible.
And nowhere is separating the art from the artist as impossible to do as it is with the Marquis de Sade, and particularly, in his infamously disturbing tale: The 120 Days of Sodom.

I don’t know why but this reminds me of that South Park episode where the boys read Catcher in the Rye and they write their own story The Tale of Scroddy McBoogerBalls and the adults read it and claim it’s the best book they ever read
😮😅😮😮😮😮😮
I saw a piece of this film long ago and going to sit this one out, but thumbs up and comment for the algorithm.
Puss
When a paraphilic mental disorder is named after you, that is how you gain infamy.
Corporal Punishment, you might create a neurotic member of society, or you may create the first sadist.
Me, twenty minutes in, sick and barely able to keep anything down: ah, yes, this will definitely help my nausea
When I'm sick, I like to read stuff about other people being sick. It feels good to commiserate, or remember that it could be much worse. This, however, seems like it would have the opposite effect. Attempting to power through your nausea like that shows strength that I do not have.
Why would you do that to yourself.
I really enjoy your videos, and I appreciate that this didn’t devolve into sensationalizing De Sade. It’s clear you put a lot of thought and effort into the topics you cover. It’s refreshing.
Sent out to be arrested by Nepoleons order? Goddamn
Yeah even napoleon was like “bro wtf is up with this nigga”
The “book” is so over the top in its disgusting depictions that, dare I say, it’s pretty boring to read. The film is actually tame compared to the book, but it is hard to watch.
Calling it "so over the top it's boring" would have crushed the author and he deserves every bit of it.
I actually have to agree. I read it, several times just to make sure I had a comprehensive understanding of what I was reading, and yeah. It's disgusting, depraved, downright psychotic, and painfully boring the same way edgy teenagers are.
I agree with you，it‘s disgusting
Great content. Very polished and high quantity. This will be a big channel someday soon. Keep up the good work!
Salo is a movie you watch once. Throw up once and never watch it again. This Marquis was just terrible. I kove to see the book being covered. We did one of his plays when i was at University. It was insane.
Can you imagine if the film was completely accurate to the stories…?
Awesome video as always, the editing is amazing
Thank you!
Thank you for not having the background music loud! It’s too distracting! 😊
Hey, how do you create the animation for your videos (editing software, some tips)? Can’t wait for your next upload
This is kinda funny, since I've seen two video essays about the film adaptation like yesterday.
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Interesting video.
Amazing video
bro only 2k views. crazy video tho! 💯💯
really good presentation
You should talk about Venus in furs next
I cannot watch this man. Salo makes me sick to my stomach. But I’m sure this video is a 10/10 like all your others. You have my support, but I’m sorry, I just cannot watch this. Keep making amazing videos though.
No stress man, appreciate the support regardless. More to come!
@@TheSeladorDo you have an instagram or any other social media sites I can follow?
@@Dudenobody hey mate, I have got a Substack that I've linked in the description. Other than that not much right now, although I plan to get some things set up soon.
I saw a movie review about this and saw some of the clips it was crazy I don’t think I can sit through the whole film. I do wonder how doing that impacted the actors and actresses though.
I watched the movie with a friend and there was a lot of pausing and just sitting in silence of what we were watching. I don’t remember much of it now I locked it away in a vault I just remember sitting in silence with my friend and feeling disgusted. The only reason we watched it cause we heard it was ‘banned’ but idk if that was true now
For an 18th-century French lit seminar, we had to write a final paper on any author of the period. None of the others grabbed me too much, and I thought De Sade at least sounded different. "It's the 1700s,," I thought. "How twisted can it be?" WOWZA. I have a very high bar for being disgusted or shocked but holy cow! And it was so funny that amidst all the perversion, there were philosophical treatises trying to justify it all.
That, all his other books and him should've gotten the Fahrenheit 451 treatment.
It has been years since I read this, and I liked it, but when it popped up in one of my philosophy classes, I was surprised.
Puff diddy bio
The quality of the video far exceeds the response recieved, maybe not many people know about you, which they should.
You should look at Shuji Terayama!
Wtf is going on with The Comte de Sade's eyebrows?
If the joker and big jack Horner had a baby, it be this guy
i'm sorry but LuLu is a masterpiece and Dune is pretty damn good
What did Hunter S Thompson do?
Drugs
Whatever the fuck he wanted.
Adreno chrome
........ I gotta read this book
It’s grim.
So… I need to buy this book now :)
Trust me - it's truly horrific.
@@jonahmad7237
Disgusting too
🎉😊
Ao3 writers after reading this book: “I can do that too, but worse!” 💀
He was evil.
Yes, but why??
Why did he commit himself to writing such a horrific vulgar acts of sexual violence was it simply to shock the audience??
was it that juvenile??
what were his actual INTENTIONS??
The actions themselves aren't as interesting as the INTENTIONS and PHILOSOPHY behind it.
😂
His story is Mid.
as mid as a regular Isekai fantasy and hentai shit.
I would rather read Blood Meridian and Berserk
The movie Quills is about the Marquis. Its a good one.
Nurture is very important in our lives much more than nature. It’s sad and pathetic to see what people can become.
