One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I tend to think of action movies as exuberant morality plays in which good triumphs over evil.
Action films are great, but an action film that has characters that are compelling and a story that people can care about is something even better. We love to see action heroes that are vulnerable, that are sensitive, that are family people, that are accessible.
Good action films - not crap, but good action films - are really morality plays. They deal in modern, mythic culture.
I enjoy doing action a lot more because my films have a sense of violence. That's because I have a broad structure, and if I hit someone, it looks believable. Maybe my contemporaries are meeker-looking in comparison.
I mean, I love action films, you know, good action films.
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
I grew up with action movies in my head.
I love action movies.
With action movies, that's just fun stuff for me. That's me being a kid again. Same with 'The Best of Me' and these romantic dramas. It's such a freedom from reality and social constructions. You get to just have fun and play and be in a movie.
It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.
