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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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 feel comfortable with violence, and I'm not sure that I film violent scenes properly, and it's something I'm reticent to do, and yet violence is sort of in all of my films.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
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.
I think violence has always been popular, way before movies started being made.
I think movies glamorize violence, in the sense that they make it in a way that it's either cool or funny.
Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies.
There is violence in real life but I would never impose violence in a film just to attract the audience.
I've written films that are violent. I'm not big on sitting and watching violence.
