You'll see more violence in any television crime series than you will in my films... Art is there to have a stimulating effect, if it earns its name. You have to be honest, that's the only thing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If there isn't at least the threat of violence in art, it tends to be kind of tiresome.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience.
Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.
Violence in film and television is an ongoing conversation, and I like eavesdropping on it, but I'm never sure what my opinion is. I like watching creative violence, but I don't know.
I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back 'Rambo' and whatever, and we'd watch it together. It's not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
What one person might see as violent, someone else may see as beautiful. Maybe even art.
I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.
Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of.
