Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist.
I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
It is only with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act in 1994 that we have been able to put a dent in violence against women, and women have had a place to go.
I think violence against women in America has become ordinary - it's been made absolutely acceptable.
I think violence has always been popular, way before movies started being made.
If cinema is a woman then certainly there are many shores.
There is still a funny notion that women should not write violent fiction.
I have never seen a connection between cinematic violence towards women and actual violence towards women in society.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
