I think video games and that stuff should be as violent as possible, but age-appropriate. It should be realistic. When it's not realistic you run into kids running around shooting people and not realizing the consequences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
If you disapprove of violence, then you can't think there is any age when violence is appropriate.
It's up to each person's parents whether they think it's too frightening or too violent, how much their kids can handle, what they want to teach them, what they want to show them.
There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience.
I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this.
It's something that I am going over in my head about the whole video game thing, and whether you support violence by being in a film like this. I mean, to me, it's incredibly unreal and it's all about the action, and just explosions.
The thing about a violent kid is that he can't play imaginatively.
I think it would be impossible to make a movie about video games if there wasn't some violence that we know from video games.
I intentionally shoot violence to make the audience feel real pain. I have never and I will never shoot violence as if it's some kind of action video game.
The kid who can play imaginatively doesn't tend to be violent. It's the same with adults.
