This was the one that was released during Christmas of last year, but I hadn't gotten around to downloading it since I didn't have a good DVD burner. Needless to say, this thing is scary as fuck. Seriously, I put it in my SUV's DVD player and needless to say, if you ride with me, you'll have nightmares.
On December 30 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_30), 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006), an unofficial version of the film was released on a DVD disc image (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_image) and distributed via BitTorrent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent) at The Pirate Bay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_Bay) by an anonymous user, incorporating a significant upgrade in quality from "Broken 2.0." This copy of the film includes the video for "Help Me I Am in Hell." Fans have speculated that this version of the film has been sourced directly from the master tapes, and that Reznor himself may have been the source of this leak along with the Closure DVD leak, as implied by a post on his official blog: "12/21/06 : Happy Holidays! This one is a guilt-free download. (shhhh - I didn't say that out loud). If you know what I'm talking about, cool."[8] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-1)
Broken (film)
In 1992 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992), Nine Inch Nails (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Inch_Nails) released the Broken (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken) EP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_play). It was followed in 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993) by a short film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_film), roughly 20 minutes in length, known as the Broken Movie. Filmed and directed by Peter Christopherson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Christopherson), the movie wove Broken's four music videos together via a violent "snuff film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_film)," and included its own video for the song "Gave Up" as its conclusion. Due to its extreme graphic content, the Broken Movie was never officially released (and likely never will be), but was leaked as a bootleg which became heavily traded on VHS in the 1990's, and in recent years via the Internet.
Trent Reznor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor) once said that the Broken Movie "...makes 'Happiness in Slavery' look like a Disney movie" [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-0), and while his comments about the movie have been cryptic at best, he makes no secret of the film's existence.
Synopsis
The film follows several settings: The "past", shot as a weak quality amateur film, presenting the workings of a sadist murderer; the "present", shot entirely in black and white, showing the police's investigation and the repercussions of his actions; and the "fiction", being the Nine Inch Nails videos - all of them being also black and white.
Intro
The film begins with a scene of a person being executed by hanging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging). The trap door opens and the person drops with a maniacal smile on his face.
The movie cuts to footage of an amateur video taken from inside a car going through various parts of a city (the "n" from the Broken album cover and the title "broken" is shown superimposed as a glass overlay), finally showing a young man approaching the car in a suburban neighborhood. The man is almost immediately shown in the next scene to be in a basement, tied to a chair and cleave gagged (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cleave_gag&action=edit), while being forced to watch a television that slowly starts to show Pinion.
Pinion
Main article: Pinion (song) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinion_%28song%29)
"Pinion" begins in a bathroom. The camera zooms in on a toilet flushing, and a network of pipes is shown leading to a contraption with a large gear system and a pressure gauge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_gauge) on it. As the camera zooms out, a tight, plastic bodybag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodybag)-like suit suspended in a padded cell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padded_cell) with six rods by the side is shown, with the end of the pipes attached to the mouth portion with water gushing in, presumably to drown the person inside. An alternative interpretation that the person bound inside is being fed the "waste of the world" coming through the pipes. [2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-pinion)
Cutting back to the amateur video, the killer, wearing some sort of leather mask, drag's the victim's head back and forces him to drink some sort of liquid from a petrol can (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Petrol_can&action=edit).
Wish
Main article: Wish (song) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_%28song%29)
The video for "Wish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_%28song%29)" shows Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor) on vocals, Chris Vrenna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Vrenna) on drums, Richard Patrick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Patrick) on guitar and James Woolley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woolley) on keyboards) playing inside high, caged walls while hordes of angry men assault the exterior of the cage. The band is eventually accosted: Woolley is lifted off his feet by a suspended man, Vrenna is lifted off by a crane hook and Patrick is grabbed through the sides of the cage. The video ends with a brief scene of men breaking open the gate of the cage and storming into the cage with bats and clubs. [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-wish)
The middle of the video is interrupted by amateur footage again with the victim tied to a table with a large wad of dark substance on his face. As the killer is immediately followed to be seen putting his pants on, it can be assumed that it's feces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feces). After the video ends, the killer repeatedly rewinds to the part of the video where Reznor screams "fist fuck" and begins to rub his fist.
Help Me I Am In Hell
Main article: Help Me I Am In Hell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help_Me_I_Am_In_Hell)
The video for "Help Me I Am In Hell" shows a middle-age bald man in a room filled with what appear to be flies. He ignores them whilst eating some sort of steak and drinking wine (on one occasion it is clearly shown that flies also enter his mouth when he eats). The video cuts away several times to show the same man in bondage gear. This video was blacked out in the most prominent leak, therefore it is unknown whether this is the version which is meant to be in the film. [4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-help)
At this point, the victim is shown still tied to a table as the killer proceeds to rip his teeth out.
Happiness in Slavery
Main article: Happiness in Slavery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_in_Slavery)
The video for "Happiness in Slavery (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happiness_in_Slavery)" shows Reznor screaming from inside a prison cell and performance artist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_art) Bob Flanagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Flanagan) entering a room, undressing and washing himself, and finally strapping himself into a machine that appears to rape (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape), torture and kill him. After his death, the machine closes up, and the camera pans to a bed of flowers underneath the machine seemingly being fed the man's remains, which have been ground up into a paste-like substance. Reznor, who was watching through a peephole, then enters a similar room and begins to perform the same rituals as Flanagan, presumably to be killed by the machine as well. The video was, perhaps inevitably, banned by music video channels worldwide. [5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_%28film%29#_note-his)
Gave Up
Main article: Gave Up (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gave_Up)
The film ends with a video for "Gave Up" - this is different from the one on Closure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closure_%28Nine_Inch_Nails_VHS%29), as it is not an actual Nine Inch Nails video, but the music of NIN overdubbed the storyline of the movie. At this point, the victim is suspended from the ceiling, and is repeatedly attacked by the perpetrator first with a whip, then a blowtorch, after which the killer slices off the victim's penis with a razorblade. The camera-work here closely resembles that of an amateur snuff film, while there are interspersed footage of the police (the officer visible is often rumoured to be Robert Patrick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Patrick)) searching through the basement, and finding remains of previous victims. (At one point, a sign saying "TRESPASSERS WILL BE EATEN" is shown.) Finally, after strapping the victim on a table, the murderer saws him in half with a chainsaw, after which he proceeds to have some sort of sexual ritual with the entrails, and proceeds to eat the victim's heart.
The movie then cuts back to the execution scene, showing as the killer is dropped through the trap door, with a crazed smile on his face, falling through a seemingly immensely long tunnel, until the rope suddenly tightens. The movie ends with the inverted version of the Broken album cover, with the background black, and a mirrored "n" character filled with the original orange background texture. In the supposed complete versions of the movie, the severed head of the killer flying through the screen is also shown after roughly a minute of pause.
The movie also includes a copyright notice saying "1993 © Interscope Records", which implies that the movie at some point was meant for an actual release.
Cliffs: A must have for any NIN fan. :chuckles:
