Most screen violence is tedious.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't require movies to be about good people, and I don't reject screen violence.
I have a hard time watching people getting punched on screen; I have to close my eyes a lot.
I've written films that are violent. I'm not big on sitting and watching violence.
It has become a crusade of mine to demonstrate that TV need not be violent to be exciting.
Film can be exciting, but more often, it's tedious.
When you see violence in movies in general, it's very quick and painless, which isn't what it's like.
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.
From the director's point of view, it's infinitely easier to do violence than to do a good dramatic scene.
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It's incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.
