We're seeing this disintegration of the family movie into these blockbuster things that kids should not be exposed to with explosions, carnage and violence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They are always very lax about putting restrictions on violence for children's movies, which I think is much more harrowing than sexuality for children.
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.
I'm very careful about how I portray violence in my films. I do believe that violence, especially violent video games, are not a good thing for young kids.
Movies like that aren't about the visual effects and explosions. They're human stories about family, about life, about death.
Kids shouldn't see all the violence they do these days. But the industry just doesn't care.
If a film is suitable for family viewing, it should remain so, and if a film has some adult content, it should remain so, and these genres should never be mixed and spoil the vision of the story teller.
A lot of movies treat kids like idiots.
Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.
I worked on movies with a lot of violence when I was a cinematographer, and it always bothered me. It's a personal thing. I wouldn't want my kids to see it. I certainly believe that freedom of expression shouldn't be taken away, but I also believe you can make movies that are thrilling and exciting without too much violence.
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
