On the one hand, the press, television, and movies make heroes of vandals by calling them whiz kids.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We're showing a situation that these kids are caught in and being forced to do but the violence is not glorified. Most of the kids in there are not wanting to be doing it.
Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil, too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth.
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.
The mainstream media spins stories that are largely racist, violent, and irresponsible - stories that celebrate power and demonize victims, all the while camouflaging its pedagogical influence under the cheap veneer of entertainment.
Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
I don't think of cartoons or comics as being for kids.
I was a very violent kid. I think movies and writing and art have been a way of channeling this.
Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
When I was growing up, kids used to talk about snitching... It never extended as a cultural norm outside of the gangsters.
