Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think violence has always been popular, way before movies started being made.
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.
It's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.
I think if there was no violence in our world, there would be no violence in film. Violence is a part of human nature, and obviously it's a troublesome part of human nature. You always have responsibilities when you portray violence in what angle you put down on that scene.
Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.
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.
Some of my films are known for the depiction of violence. I don't have anything to prove with that any more.
Physical violence is always a bore in films today. We don't see how much it hurts. We don't learn the true consequences of it.
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.
